Instructions
Base Donut
- Add all ingredients to a small bowl and mix until well combined into a dough.Fold in chocolate chips. If too wet or sticky, add more almond flour or protein powder; if too dry add milk.Press the dough into a mini donut mold, or use a full-sized donut pan but make fewer. If you don’t have a donut pan no worries. We can make our own.Make Your Own Donut Pan - All you need is a cupcake (muffin) pan and some regular old tin foil! Cut the foil into a 4 x4 square and bend gently around your middle finger.Remove your finger and press the shape you are left with into the muffin tin. The results: You are left with a perfect donut hole shaped tin that yields round donuts.Scoop the dough out into 6 donut molds, chill for at least 10 minutes or until they can be removed from the mold and retain shape.Make chocolate glaze next and apply.
Chocolate Glaze
- Place chocolate chips and coconut oil in small dish and microwave with 15 second bursts stirring between each one until melted and smooth.Or use double boiler method - (pot of boiling water with a bowl resting on top) melt the chocolate chips and the coconut oil together.Once melted, dip donuts in to glaze the top. Line them glaze up on a baking sheet and add any toppings like chopped nuts or sprinkles. Refrigerate 5 minutes until the glaze is set.Store up to 1 week in fridge or up to 3 months in freezer.
