Ingredients

  • For the donuts:
  • 2 T. almond meal
  • 1/4 c. coconut flour
  • 1/4 c. cacao powder (can also use unsweetened cocoa powder)
  • 1/4 tsp. salt
  • 1/4 tsp. baking soda
  • 4 large eggs
  • 1/2 c. coconut oil, melted and cooled
  • 3 T. maple syrup
  • 1 tsp. vanilla
  • For the glaze:
  • 1 c. powdered sugar
  • 1 T. almond milk
  • juice of 1 blood orange

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350℉. In a medium bowl, whisk together the almond meal, coconut flour, cacao powder, salt, and baking soda. Add eggs, coconut oil, and maple syrup and whisk until thoroughly incorporated and no lumps remain. Don't overmix.

  2. Spray a donut pan with nonstick spray or coconut oil. Fill each well 1/2 way with batter. Bake for 15-18 minutes until a toothpick inserted comes out clean. Let cool for several minutes, then remove from pan and place on cooling rack.

  3. Make the glaze. Combine sugar, almond milk, and blood orange juice in a medium bowl and whisk to combine. If it needs more liquid, add a tablespoon of almond milk at a time until it reaches desired consistency. Once donuts are completely cooled, drizzle with glaze and eat!
