DONUT INGREDIENTS

  • 1 1/4 cup flour
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 1/2 tsp baking soda
  • 1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 3 organic farm fresh brown eggs
  • 1/4 cup coconut oil, melted
  • 1/2 cup almond milk
  • 2 tablespoons honey (can also use maple syrup or agave syrup)
  • 1/2 tsp pure vanilla extract

STEPS

  • Preheat oven to 350°F. Grease the donut pan with cooking spray and dust with flour.
  • In a medium-sized bowl, whisk together all of the dry ingredients.
  • Transfer to a blender or food processor.
  • In the same bowl, whisk together all of the wet ingredients. Add to the blender.
  • Blend the batter until is very smooth.
  • Pour into greased donut molds, filling them about 2/3 of the way.
  • Bake for 12 minutes.

DO NOT OVERBAKE or they will be dry. 

Remove the donut pans from the oven, allow to cool in the pan for 3 minutes, then pop them out and all them to cool the rest of the way on a rack. Make the ganache while they cool. We had a lot of ganache left over, so it’s chilling in the fridge!

GANACHE INGREDIENTS

  • 1 cup semi sweet chocolate chips
  • 1/2 cup almond milk
  • 2 tbsp. coconut oil, melted

STEPS

  • Add chocolate chips and almond milk to a medium bowl and microwave for 2 minutes.
  • Stir until well combined. If some chips are still not melted, microwave again.
  • Add coconut oil, mix until smooth.
  • Frost the donuts by dipping the topside of each donut in the bowl of ganache.
