Description

These are so rich and chocolate-y with decadent notes of coconut and honey. There’s a pleasant crunch of almonds in each and every bite (textural heaven, really) and the glaze? Don’t even get me started. This dessert/snack is obviously healthy so it’s not overly sweet and won’t weigh you down. This proves by eating healthy you don’t have to compromise on flavor.

Ingredients

  • FOR THE DONUTS:
  • ¼ cups Coconut Oil
  • ⅓ cups Honey
  • ⅓ cups Unsweetened Dutch Processed Cocoa Powder
  • 3  Large Eggs
  • ¾ cups Blanched Almonds, Processed Into A Fine Crumb Consistency
  • ⅛ teaspoons Salt
  • ¼ teaspoons Baking Soda
  • ½ teaspoons Vanilla Extract
  • FOR THE GLAZE:
  • 1-½ ounces, weight Dark Chocolate (I Used 4 Squares Of Lindt 70%)
  • 2 Tablespoons Coconut Oil
  • 3 Tablespoons Honey
  • Chopped Toasted Almonds, For Topping
  • Unsweetened Coconut Flakes Or Shredded Coconut, For Topping

Preparation

Preheat oven to 350ºF.

Melt together the coconut oil and honey in a large microwave safe bowl, whisking every 10 seconds until smooth and combined. Whisk in cocoa powder until combined. Whisk in the eggs one at a time, whisking to combine with each addition. Add the processed almonds, salt, baking soda, and vanilla and whisk until it forms a smooth batter-like mixture.

Pour into a lightly greased donut pan and bake for 15 minutes or until a toothpick is inserted and comes out clean (they will look underdone). Let cool completely before glazing.

For the glaze, melt together 3 squares of chocolate, coconut oil, and honey until it forms a smooth mixture (being careful not to scorch). Stir in the last chocolate square until smooth. Dip the donuts in the glaze one at a time, being very careful not to break the donuts. Top with toasted almond pieces and coconut.

Enjoy!
