Almond Joy Donuts (Vegan and Gluten Free)

Almond Joy Donuts.  We all need a little donut in our life sometimes.  That’s exactly why I made you these Almond Joy vegan Donuts!  They will not disappoint!

I have several other healthy donut recipes on the blog.  My favorite is the Pumpkin Chai Donuts, but a close second would be my Banana Chocolate Chip Donuts.

This recipe would be great to make-ahead and then freeze.  That way, you can have quick breakfasts on the go.  These healthy donuts are vegan and gluten free too.  Also a super cinch to make!
