Ingredients

Donuts:

  • 1 cup Barney Butter blanched almond flour
  • 1 cup coconut flour
  • 1/2 tsp baking soda
  • 2 tsp baking powder
  • 1/4 tsp coarse salt
  • 1/3 cup unsweetened apple sauce
  • 1/2 cup unsweetened almond milk
  • 4 tbsp coconut oil melted
  • 4 tbsp maple syrup
  • 2 1/2 tbsp organic cane sugar or coconut palm sugar

Glaze:

  • 1 cup gluten free dairy free semi sweet chocolate chunks (or mini chips)
  • 1 1/2 tbsp coconut oil melted

Instructions

Donuts:

  1. Preheat your oven to 350 degrees.
  2. Mix the wet ingredients in a mixing bowl.
  3. Mix the dry ingredients in a separate bowl and add to the wet ingredients bowl.
  4. Mix in a stand mixer or with a handheld mixer on low-medium speed until it's smooth, about 3 minutes.
  5. Lightly grease your donut pan with coconut oil so the donuts won't stick.
  6. Add the mixture evenly into a donut pan, filling about 3/4. The mixture is not so smooth that it pours, so you may need to help it along by spreading it evenly with your hands.
  7. Bake in the oven for 15 minutes until golden brown.
  8. Turn your pan over a cooling rack and flip them over.
  9. Let them cool completely, at least one hour before adding the glaze.
  10. For those that don't want the glaze, they taste great on their own.

Glaze:

  1. Melt the chocolate in a double boiler or pot.
  2. Add the coconut oil and mix until smooth, and easy to stir.
  3. Transfer the chocolate to a wide rimmed bowl (easy for dipping) and let it cool for 5 minutes.
  4. Get a cookie sheet and cover it with parchment paper.
  5. Dip each donut in the chocolate mixture, twisting to the right when you come up and place on the parchment paper lined cookie sheet.
  6. Repeat for all of the donuts and add toppings if you like. Shredded coconut works well and so do sprinkles and chopped nuts.
  7. Place the cookie sheet in the refrigerator for 30 minutes to help the glaze set.
  8. Enjoy!
