I guarantee you've never had a healthy donut like THIS before. Introducing my Best Ever Paleo Chocolate Donuts, a gluten-free, refined sugar-free, and paleo alternative to your favorite donut shop chocolate donuts.
Ingredients
For the Donuts:
- 2 cups almond flour
- 2 tablespoons coconut flour
- ¼ cup full fat coconut milk
- ¼ cup applesauce
- ¼ cup maple syrup
- 2 pasture-raised organic eggs
- 2 tablespoons coconut oil melted
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- ¼ cup unsweetened cocoa powder
For the Frosting:
- 1 ¼ cup chocolate chips
- ¼ cup butter sub vegan butter if dairy-free
- 1 tablespoon maple syrup
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
For the Donuts:
- Preheat oven to 350 F.
- Spray the silicone donut pan with avocado or coconut oil spray and set aside.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the dry ingredients.
- Melt the coconut oil.
- Add the melted coconut oil to another bowl, along with the rest of the wet ingredients.
- Whisk to make sure everything is combined evenly.
- Pour wet batter into the bowl with the dry ingredients, and stir until combined.
- Gently scoop batter into each donut cavity, almost up to the fill line.
- Use your fingers to gently even out the donuts.
- Bake for 16-17 minutes.
- Remove from oven and let sit for two-three minutes, then flip the donut pan upside down so that the donuts easily pop out.
- Let the donuts cool completely before frosting them - this is important so that the frosting doesn't melt right off.
For the Frosting:
- Melt chocolate chips, butter, & maple syrup in a microwave (or using double boiler method).
- Once melted, let cool for 10 minutes before stirring in the vanilla extract.
- Dip each donut in the chocolate and set aside on a cooling rack.
- Add chocolate or rainbow sprinkles (optional).
- Eat and enjoy!
