Grain-Free and Sugar-Free Chocolate Chip Donuts
Grain-Free and Sugar-Free Chocolate Chip Donuts
Do you wake up on Saturday mornings wishing you could eat a donut?!? I do!!! I haven’t had gluten or white refined sugar though for 4+ years! Yea, but I can still taste that rich yeasty donut from the donut shop, that’s for sure! I had to create a donut that I could enjoy too, but it had to be easy to make. I consider myself a simple cook. I like to create masterpieces from simple, everyday ingredients, and I think I succeeded!
I will say, since going gluten-free and sugar-free I use a lot of almond flour and coconut sugar in my baking. You will see that throughout my recipes. However, now these ingredients can be found at most all grocery stores. I hope you enjoy this recipe as much as I do! I think I’ll need to make them again this weekend!
Grain-Free & Sugar-Free Chocolate Chip Donuts
Ingredients
Donut Ingredients
- 1 cup almond flour super fine
- 3 Tbsp. coconut sugar
- 2 Tbsp. coconut flour
- 1/2 tsp. baking soda
- 1/2 tsp. salt
- 2 eggs
- 1/4 cup melted butter or coconut oil
- 1/4 cup milk any kind would work
- 1 tsp. vanilla extract
- 1/4 cup chocolate chips for sugar-free, use Lily's brand
Chocolate Glaze Ingredients
- 1/2 cup coconut sugar
- 2 Tbsp. cocoa powder
- 2 Tbsp. butter
- 1 Tbsp. milk any kind will work
- 1 tsp. vanilla extract
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Grease a donut pan very well.
- Mix all the donut ingredients together in a bowl, then fill a gallon size Ziploc bag with the dough.
- Cut one side of the corner ends off, and pipe the dough into your donut pan. You should get 6 donuts with this recipe.
- Bake donuts for 16-18 minutes.
- While donuts are baking, make the chocolate glaze.
- On the stove, add the coconut sugar, butter, cocoa powder, and milk to a saucepan. Bring mixture to a boil, and boil for 1 minute.
- Remove from heat, add vanilla extract and mix well. Pour glaze into a shallow dish to dip the donuts into, but first let it cool down for a good 10 minutes.
- When donuts are done, let them rest for 10 minutes before removing them from the pan. You do not want the donuts to break apart...
- Carefully remove the donuts and dip them into your chocolate glaze.
- Leftover donuts can be stored in the refrigerator for 3-4 days. Enjoy!
