Coconut flour is a very good alternative flour in gluten-free baking. It has the ability to absorb liquid and provides a perfect substitute for all-purpose flour in many gluten-free baked goods. Often the challenge in gluten-free baking is finding the correct proportion and balance of ingredients to create the right texture and taste. With no preservatives, you’ll want to eat these donuts within a day or two of baking, if they even last that long! These donuts are a perfect holiday treat!

Ingredients

Donut Batter

• 1/4 cup coconut flour
• 1/4 cup good quality cocoa powder
• 1/8 teaspoon Kosher salt or fine sea salt
• 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
• 3 large eggs
• 1/4 cup coconut oil melted
• 1/3 cup pure maple syrup
• 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract

Chocolate Glaze

• 1/2 cup dark chocolate chopped
• 2 tablespoons coconut oil

Servings: donuts

Instructions

1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Grease a standard non-stick donut pan with coconut oil. In a large bowl whisk together the dry ingredients, the coconut flour, cocoa powder, salt and baking soda. In a medium bowl whisk together the wet ingredients, the eggs, coconut oil, maple syrup and vanilla. Combine the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, whisking to create a smooth batter.
2. Take a ziplock plastic bag and cut one corner off the bag. Fill the bag with the donut batter. Pipe or squeeze the batter from the bag into the greased donut tray. Bake the donuts for 15-18 minutes. The donuts will rise and be firm to the touch. Allow the donuts to cool a bit before removing from the pan and glazing.
3. To make the glaze, melt the chocolate and coconut oil together in a pan or the microwave until melted. Stir until you have a smooth glaze. Use a spoon to drizzle the glaze over the donuts. The glaze will solidify as it cools. The donuts will keep at room temperature in an air tight container for up to 2 days. They’re best eaten warm!
