Ingredients

Grain-Free Chocolate Donuts

  • 3/4 C. almond flour
  • 3 Tbsp maple syrup
  • 3 Tbsp coconut oil melted
  • 1/4 C. cocoa or cacao powder
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1/4 tsp baking soda
  • 3 eggs room temperature and separated (yolks from whites)
  • Optional: 3 drops of Orange Vitality Essential Oil we use Young Living
  • Donut pan (we used this silicone pan set here

Glaze

  • 2 Tbsp coconut oil
  • handful of chocolate chips make your own or opt for a soy-free variety like Enjoy Life
  • shredded coconut for sprinkling

Instructions

  • Preheat your oven to 350 degrees F.
  • Grease your donut pan - whether it's non-stick or silicone, it needs to be liberally greased, then set aside.
  • Mix the egg yolks, vanilla, cocoa powder, coconut oil, maple syrup, almond flour (and optional Orange Vitality Essential Oil) and set aside.
  • In your mixer, whip the egg whites until they are light and fluffy.
  • Once light and fluffy, carefully fold the egg whites into your chocolate batter until they are well incorporated. The batter should be smooth without any lumps. It should resemble cake batter.
  • Carefully spoon the batter into the donut pan - whether the non-stick or silicone type, making sure to keep the tops level and smooth.
  • If using a silicone donut pan, place it on a cookie sheet. Then place the donuts in the preheated oven for 12-13 minutes.
  • Remove and allow to cool before removing from the pan. If using silicone, they should come out easily provided you were liberal at greasing your mold.
  • In a small skillet, combine the coconut oil and chocolate chips on low heat and stir just until melted. Dip the tops of your donuts in the melted chocolate, sprinkle with coconut and allow to cool before serving.
