Chocolate Donuts
Chocolate Donuts don’t have to be full of refined sugar, nasty additives, gluten or even dairy! We have been in the kitchen working on a gluten free, dairy free and paleo friendly Chocolate Donut recipe with TWO toppings – caramel & chocolate! To get lovely ring shaped donuts we highly recommend purchasing a donut pan from your local kitchenware store but you can always use a muffin tin. Use the either chocolate or the caramel topping, half each recipe if you want to have half your donuts covered in caramel and half covered in chocolate.
Ingredients (Donuts)
- 1/4 cup Flannerys Own Organic Coconut Flour
- 1/4 cup Flannerys Own Organic Cacao Powder
- 1/2 tsp vanilla bean paste
- Pinch Flannerys Own Fine Himalayan Salt
- 1/4 tsp Flannerys Own Baking Powder
- 4 large free range eggs
- 1/2 cup Flannerys Own Organic Coconut Oil

Ingredients (Oozing Chocolate Topping)
- 1 1/2 cups full fat coconut cream

Ingredients (Decadent Caramel Topping)
- 2/3 cup Flannerys Own Organic Coconut Syrup

Method
- Preheat oven to 180 degrees.
- In a large bowl combine the dry donut ingredients and in a separate small bowl combine the wet ingredients. Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and mix well (with an electric mixer if you have one).
- Fill up each doughnut well way full of batter and bake donuts for 15 – 20 minutes or until cooked through. Remove from the oven and dry on a baking rack.
- For the chocolate topping, in a medium saucepan combine the coconut cream and maple syrup over a medium heat. Allow to simmer for 45 – 60 minutes or until the mixture is quite thick. Remove from the heat, sift in the cacao powder and stir in the vanilla. Drizzle over donuts or dip donuts in the topping.
- For the caramel topping, combine the coconut syrup, cashew spread and pinch of salt in a blender until smooth and creamy. Drizzle over donuts or dip donuts in the topping.
