Ingredients
Grain-free Chocolate Doughnuts
- ⅓ cup (36 grams) coconut flour
- ¼ cup (28 grams) 1/4 cup Dutch-process cocoa powder
- 1 teaspoon baking powder homemade or store-bought grain-free
- ¼ teaspoon ground nutmeg
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- ⅓ cup (113 grams) honey
- ¼ cup (57 grams) 1/4 cup coconut oil, melted
- 4 large eggs
Chocolate Glaze
- ½ cup (50 grams) powdered sugar, grain-free
- 1 tablespoon cocoa powder
- 1 tablespoon coconut milk plus more as needed
Instructions
- Adjust oven rack to middle position and preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Grease two* six-cavity doughnut pans with nonstick cooking spray or brush with coconut oil.
- Whisk the coconut flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, nutmeg, and salt together in a medium mixing bowl. Add honey and melted coconut oil. Whisk until smooth. Add the eggs and mix well.
- Spoon batter into prepared pan. Fill each cavity about half full. Lightly tap the pan on the counter to settle the batter.
- Bake until doughnuts are puffy and set, about 12 minutes. Allow doughnuts to cool in the pan and then turn out onto a wire rack.
- When doughnuts are cool, make the glaze.
- Lemon Glaze: Stir together the powdered sugar and lemon juice together in a small mixing bowl. The glaze should be thick but pourable. If it’s too thick, add a little extra lemon juice.
- Chocolate Glaze Stir together the powdered sugar, cocoa powder and coconut milk together in a small mixing bowl. The glaze should be thick but pourable. If it’s too thick, add extra coconut milk, one teaspoon at a time.
- Dip the doughnuts, one at a time, into the glaze. Or you can place a piece of parchment paper under the cooling rack and pour the glaze over each doughnut.
- Doughnuts are best enjoyed the day they are made.
- Freeze leftovers for up to one month.
