Guest blog and recipe by Carolina @healthyliciousworld.

You know that feeling when the air turns crisp, and it's finally apple season? 🍏 That's when my kitchen starts smelling like cinnamon, nutmeg, and love! This time of year is perfect for cozy recipes that satisfy your taste buds and care for your gut health. Enter Fluffy Gut-Loving Apple Cider Donuts.

I mean, who doesn't want to treat themselves to something fluffy, delicious, and full of wholesome goodness? These donuts aren't just your average sweet treat. They're packed with spore-based probiotic power to nourish your gut and keep you glowing from the inside out. Let's talk about how we can enjoy a snack that's as good for our gut as it is for our taste buds!

Why Probiotics in a Donut?

I know what you're thinking—probiotics in a donut? Absolutely! We're stepping up the game with Just Thrive Probiotic, adding a little love to your digestive system. Gut health is everything. From mood and energy to digestion, a happy gut helps us feel our best, and what better way to get those probiotics in than with a fluffy, cinnamon coconut sugar-coated donut?

Ingredients for Gut-Loving Goodness

These donuts are packed with simple, nourishing ingredients that'll leave you feeling good. We've swapped out regular flours for almond and cassava flour, keeping it gluten-free, while organic apple cider adds that classic fall flavor we crave.

And let's remember the probiotics! Adding them to the batter doesn't affect the flavor, but it gives your body that extra boost to support a healthy gut. I love how easy it is to sneak these little powerhouses into everyday treats, giving me a fun way to stay on top of my wellness goals without compromising taste. They're also perfect for the little ones who can't swallow pills. And in case you didn't know, Just Thrive also offers probiotic gummies.

Fluffy, Light, and Perfect for Fall

What's better than biting into a fluffy donut that's golden on the outside and soft on the inside? These donuts bake up beautifully, thanks to the combination of healthy fats from coconut oil, the acidity of apple cider vinegar, and the perfect blend of spices like apple pie spice to warm up your soul.

Making these donuts is a breeze, and your kitchen will smell like an autumn wonderland while they bake. You'll find the process straightforward and enjoyable. Let's dive in!
