These chocolate donuts are simple and have a nice light cakey texture. They are, without a doubt, kid approved.
Almond Flour Chocolate Donuts
- 1/4 cup coconut oil or butter

*yields 8 large donuts ( a standard donut pan is for 6 donuts, either use the extra batter for a cupcake for later or reuse your donut pan after the first six are done baking)
Chocolate Glaze
- 1 oz unsweetened chocolate
- 2 tablespoons coconut oil or butter
- 2-3 tablespoons honey
- Gently melt together the chocolate, oil and honey. Whisk until smooth. For a thin glaze use immediately, or for a thicker ganache texture allow to cool down and thicken.
I always start out using 2 tablespoons of the honey, and depending on what other toppings I am adding I may or may not use all of the honey. Just do it to taste. It will still work, I promise!
