Almond Chocolate Mini Donuts

Is it just me, or does anyone else crave chocolate donuts everyday of the week?

I’m not going to lie, chocolate donuts or sweets in general is something that I find on my radar a lot, especially, since I’m pushing 40.

Yes, I said it.

I am almost 40 and I absolutely love sweets. It’s true my family works hard to consume foods and flavors that are created with real foods, but eating real foods, doesn’t mean that a sweet treat shouldn’t be on that list. We enjoy donuts all the time. During the week, on the weekend and I don’t feel guilty about it at all. I want my family to enjoy the donut craze that our society had embraced with open arms. We LOVE them!!

I know i’m not alone when I say we could always go for a chocolate donut!!? Either way, I think you are going to enjoy trying out the recipe and watching your family devour them within minutes.

Our mini donuts will only take a few moments to whip up. Make life easier by using a mini donut pan. I bought mine about 4 years ago and I am absolutely in love. I have a very, serious relationship with my donut pan. Don’t waste another minute. Grab your pan and our recipe and make these enjoyable bites today!!

Ingredients

• 1/4 cup coconut flour
• 1/4 cup cacao powder or cocoa powder
• 1/4 cup ground flaxseed
• 1/4 tsp baking soda
• 1/2 tsp fine sea salt
• 1/3 cup pure maple syrup honey works, also, but we found we liked the taste of maple syrup better
• 1/4 cup coconut oil melted
• 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
• 5 eggs
• 1/4 cup almonds crushed
• Topping Dairy-Free Chocolate Frosting optional

Instructions

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit.  Grease a mini-donut pan.
• Whisk together coconut flour, cocoa powder, salt, and baking soda in a medium bowl.  Set aside.  In a separate medium bowl or large measuring cup, whisk together maple syrup, coconut oil, vanilla, and eggs until well blended.  Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and mix until just blended.
• Spoon into prepared donut pan, filling each cup about 2/3 full.  Bake 15 minutes, until tops spring back when touched.
• Frost, if desired, when completely cooled.
• Topping  Dairy-Free Chocolate Frosting (optional)
