Healthy pumpkin and almond donuts

Who said doughnuts are not healthy? These healthy pumpkin and almond donuts You will be surprised at how good they are, easy to make and full of nutrients and healthy fats.

Because when you cook at home, you do not use hydrogenated fats, which are used in the industry to make certain bakery products keep longer and have a more homogeneous texture, besides being much cheaper.

In this case, no white sugar, which are empty calories, that is, they do not provide you with anything, only calories and no nutrients, and we are going to use extra virgin olive oil, a heart healthy fat, which helps us to keep our arteries healthy and is also an antioxidant.

Also, I have used whole wheat flour, unrefined, I also use almond flour, a nut that besides having a lot of vitamin C, has fats that are also good for the health of your heart.

And finally, the pumpkin, now in season, full of fiber, minerals such as potassium, iron and manganese and vitamins such as A, C and beta-carotene, antioxidants that neutralize free radicals. Pumpkin helps to strengthen your immune system, strengthen bones, regulate intestinal transit, maintain cholesterol levels and is very digestive.
