Ingredients

For the Donuts:
1 1/2 cups blanched almond flour
2 tablespoons arrowroot or tapioca starch
3/4 tsp. cream of tartar
3/4 tsp. of baking soda
1/4 teaspoon sea salt
1 TBSP. cinnamon
1/4 cup solidified coconut oil
2 eggs
3 tablespoons honey
2 tablespoons unsweetened almond milk
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
4 tablespoons Enjoy Life Chocolate Chips


For the Frosting:
1/2 cup Enjoy Life Chocolate Chips
1/4 - 1/2 tsp. coconut oil (I use VERY little)

Instructions

Preheat oven to 325 degrees Fahrenheit and spray two doughnut pans with coconut oil spray.

In a large mixing bowl, combine the blanched almond flour, arrowroot starch, baking soda, cream of tartar, sea salt, and cinnamon. Mix in the coconut oil with an electric mixer until it resembles coarse crumbs.

Whisk in the eggs, almond milk, honey, and vanilla extract. Stir in the chocolate chips.

Transfer the batter to a piping bag or a plastic storage bag (snip off one corner for piping) and pipe into the prepared pan, filing each well about 2/3 full.

Bake for 15 minutes, or until a toothpick comes out clean when poked into one of the doughnuts. Cool for 5 minutes before removing from the pan and placing on a wire rack to completely cool (I used a butter knife to loosen the edges of the doughnuts from the pan).

For the Chocolate glaze, place the chocolate chips and the coconut oil in a small microwavable bowl, and microwave on high in 30 second increments, stirring each time, until the chocolate chips and oil are melted and mixed until smooth.

Place doughnuts, one by one, upside down into the chocolate frosting to coat tops. I used a butter knife to fill in missed crevices. Remove and place right side up on a piece of parchment or waxed paper to set. If toppings are desired, sprinkle the doughnuts with desired toppings and place immediately in the freezer to set for 5 minutes (otherwise the toppings will slide off). Remove from the freezer and store in an airtight container at room temperature.

Thanks! They are SO good - I make them every year for my family when we co-host Thanksgiving and even the kiddos (who can have nuts of course!) LOVE them and don't even know they arn't the store bought kind.

These look so good! My husband should be eating gluten free but has a hard time sticking to it because he likes his sweet treats! I'm going to make these to show him he can eat yummy things and be gluten free!

These are so popular! Even the littles in our family love them. Let me know what he thinks! Def still in moderation with these since the choc. chips have cane sugar - but they are great for a special treat or holiday. I make them each year for Thanksgiving breakfast

about

Nosh & Nurture was born of this journey I am on to better the health of myself, my family and those around me.  What started as a simple compilation of recipes has grown to a all-around lifestyle journal with ways to incorporate organic products into your home, pantry and beauty cabinet.  I also include stories on pregnancy, new motherhood, travel, Proverbs 31 marriage, and spiritual health, as I am a Christian who couldn't do any of this without my Lord & Savior Jesus Christ. For more of my story you can click here. 

All recipes are gluten-free and dairy-free with a lot of soy-free, grain-free, sugar-free options.
