Gluten Free Peaches and Cream Donuts with Collagen
What is your morning routine? Do you start your day with coffee or a smoothie? Are you all about a vitamin regime? These Gluten Free Peaches and Cream Donuts with Collagen will be the perfect wat to start your day.
Homemade donuts are one of my favorite things to make. The batter comes together quickly and because these are baked in a donut pan, they’re not only healthier, they don’t make the mess of fried donuts.
The Power of Collagen
These donuts get a mega bust of nutrition from the addition of collagen powder. With over 80% of our skin being made from collagen proteins, this is a fantastic way to hydrate your skin as well as improve the condition of hair and nails. I also love collagen for helping with joint health and building muscles.
Unico Nutrition’s Aquarius Collagen powder is the perfect way to get that boost of collagen. The flavorless powder not only easily mixes into the batter for these Gluten Free Peaches and Cream Donuts with Collagen but also dissolves in your favorite morning smoothie or coffee.
Unico Nutrition is built on a commitment to transparency, safety, effectiveness, and responsibility. You won’t find any hidden ingredients or blends in their products. Not only are they honest, they also offer extensive customer support.
Starting the Day Right with Gluten Free Peaches and Cream Donuts with Collagen
Not only are these donuts a great way to get your daily dose of collagen, they’re also easy! You can make them in less time than it would take you to drive to the donut shop and back.
In just 4 easy steps you’ll be on your way to donut domination. Chop, mix, bake, and glaze.
For this batch of donuts I used chopped up nectarines but you can just as easily use peaches. You want to use whatever looks the best for the maximum amount of sweetness. Not peach season? Don’t worry! You can always defrost frozen peaches for this recipe. Just make sure to pat any excess liquid off.
Now that you have your peaches or nectarines chopped, let’s mix the batter. The only key here is not to over mix. As I recommend with all of my baked goods, you want to mix until your ingredients are just incorporated.
Next up is baking your Gluten Free Peaches and Cream Donuts with Collagen. If you don’t have a donut pan, trust me, get at least one. You will find yourself making every combination of donut, such as my Gluten Free Coconut Granola Coffee Cake Donuts. These donuts bake up in only 15-20 minutes and will become part of your morning ritual.
The last step to these donuts is the glaze. Make sure your donuts are cooled before glazing them. To reinforce that peach flavor as well as add vibrant color, I add 1 tsp of peach flavored gelatin to the glaze. There is also peach gelatin in the donuts themselves.
Now that I know you’re ready to start a new morning routine, let’s make some donuts!
