Description
A simple recipe for baked chocolate donuts that are grain free and dairy free, suitable for a Paleo diet.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1/2 cup almond flour
- 1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1/4 cup coconut sugar
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 large egg
- 1/4 cup unsweetened almond milk
- 2 tablespoons melted coconut oil
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/4 cup dark chocolate chips (dairy free)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a donut pan well.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the almond flour, cocoa powder, coconut sugar, baking soda, and salt.
- In a separate small bowl, whisk the egg, almond milk, melted coconut oil, and vanilla extract.
- Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and mix until just combined. Do not overmix.
- Gently fold in the dairy-free chocolate chips.
- Spoon or pipe the batter evenly into the prepared donut pan cavities, filling each about two-thirds full.
- Bake for 10 to 12 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Let the donuts cool in the pan for 5 minutes before carefully transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Notes
- For a simple glaze, melt 1/4 cup of dairy-free chocolate chips with 1 teaspoon of coconut oil and drizzle over cooled donuts.
- You can substitute the coconut sugar with maple syrup, reducing the almond milk slightly if needed to maintain batter consistency.
