Ingredients

Dry Ingredients:

  • 1 C. blanched almond flour
  • 1 tsp cinnamon
  • 2/3 C. cacao powder
  • 1 tsp baking soda
  • 1 tsp sea salt

Wet ingredients:

  • 3 eggs
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1/2 C. sweet potato mashed
  • 2/3 C. raw honey
  • 1/4 C. coconut oil melted

Glaze:

  • 1 C. dark chocolate chips or pieces
  • 1/2 C. milk can use almond, or coconut if going for dairy free option

Extra tools:

  • A gallon ziplock bag can be handy for piping the batter into the pan but it's not completely necessary.

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
  • Lightly wipe the donut mold with a little coconut oil and set aside.
  • Combine the wet ingredients, with the exception of coconut oil, and beat on low until combined.
  • Stir in the dry ingredients, just until incorporated. Slowly drizzle the coconut oil in last, as you mix on low.
  • Using a ziplock gallon size bag, pipe the batter into the donut molds - you can instead spoon the batter too, if you don't have bags.
  • Place the molds in your preheated oven and bake at 350 for 12-14 minutes. Do not remove them too early or they will fall apart when removed from the mold. They should be springy to the touch but not overly soft.
  • Remove and allow to cool. While they cool, combine the dark chocolate and the milk over low heat until completely melted. Dip the donuts in the glaze and set aside - sprinkle with your choice of topping.
  • Cover lightly and refrigerate before enjoying. I like to wipe a sheet of plastic wrap with a tiny bit of coconut oil so the wrap doesn't stick to the glaze while refrigerating.
