Ingredients
  

Grain-free Chocolate Doughnuts

  • 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
  • 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.
