Enjoy everything you love about chocolate donuts, now in keto form! Rich cacao, creamy coconut milk, and a hint of Stevia come together for a quick morning treat (sans the guilt). Bake up a batch in 15 minutes and pair with your favorite coffee or Paleo hot chocolate.
Combine coconut flour and fresh eggs to keep things gluten-free and easy to digest. Raw cacao adds chocolaty flavor with bonus antioxidants to help boost your mood. Add a bit of coconut yogurt for extra thickness and a creamy flavor. Tip: You can find coconut yogurt at your local health food store or make your own at home (it’s easy!).
To get started, add the coconut flour to the food processor. Make sure to lightly spoon the coconut flour into a measuring cup and gently level off the top (avoid packing it down). Add in the remaining donut ingredients and blend until fully combined. Pour the batter into a greased donut pan and bake for 15 minutes.
When the baking is complete, remove the donuts from the oven and let them cool in the pan for five minutes. Loosen the donuts in the pan by nudging the edges with a small spatula. Flip the pan over a wire rack and gently slide them out. Serve immediately or drizzle the donuts with chocolate glaze. You can also store leftovers in the fridge for up to five days.
