Serves: 6 doughnuts
Ingredients
Grain-Free Doughnuts
- 1¼ cups blanched almond flour
- ¼ teaspoon baking soda
- 2 tablespoons coconut oil, melted
- 1 tablespoon maple syrup
- 10 drops liquid stevia
- ¼ teaspoon almond extract
- ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon apple cider vinegar
- 2 eggs, at room temperature, separated
Chocolate Glaze
- ¾ cup unsweetened chocolate pieces
- 2 tablespoons raw honey
- 1 tablespoon coconut oil
- 20 drops liquid stevia
Garnish
Instructions
For the Doughnuts
- Preheat the oven to 350°F. Generously grease a 6-mold doughnut pan with coconut oil.
- Combine the flour and baking soda in a medium bowl. In another medium bowl, combine the coconut oil, maple syrup, liquid stevia, almond extract, vanilla extract, vinegar, and egg yolks. Mix the dry ingredients into the wet.
- In a stand mixer fitted with the whisk attachment or in a large bowl with a whisk, beat the egg whites until peaks form. Gently fold the egg whites into the batter.
- Equally distribute the batter among the 6 doughnut molds. Smooth out the tops of each doughnut. Bake for 12 to 15 minutes, until lightly golden. Allow the doughnuts to cool before removing them from the pan and transferring to the fridge to chill.
For the Chocolate Glaze
- In a double boiler, combine the glaze ingredients. Mix until smooth.
- Pour the melted chocolate into a shallow dish and dip each chilled doughnut into the mixture.
- Place the glazed doughnuts on a plate and sprinkle with Rainbow Coconut Sprinkles.
- Chill in the fridge until the chocolate has set.
Notes
QUICK TIP: When stevia is used in conjunction with another wholesome sweetener, it’s possible to reduce calories while keeping a pleasant, sweet flavor— sans the stevia aftertaste. If you aren’t quite there yet and are still getting used to switching from refined sugars to wholesome sweeteners, then feel free to use my original recipe: 3 tablespoons maple syrup in lieu of the stevia for the doughnuts, and ¼ cup raw honey in lieu of the stevia for the glaze. But next time I know you’ll give the stevia a try . . . with an open mind.
