Prep Time 20 minutes
Cook Time 12 minutes
Total Time 32 minutes

Ingredients
  

Dry ingredients:

  • 1 cup oat flour
  • 1 cup blanched almond flour
  • 1/3 cup coconut sugar
  • 1/4 cup cocoa powder unsweetened
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt

Wet ingredients:

  • 1/2 cup milk or milk alternative
  • 2 eggs
  • 1 tablespoon melted coconut oil
  • 1 tablespoon honey
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract

For the glaze:

  • 1/4 cup dark chocolate chips
  • 2 teaspoons melted coconut oil
  • 3 teaspoons sprinkles optional

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 375 degrees. Grease a non-stick donut pan or use a silicone one.
  • In a large bowl, combine oat flour, almond flour, coconut sugar, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt.
  • In a separate bowl combine the eggs, milk, honey, oil, and vanilla extract.
  • Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and combine until smooth. Do not over mix.
  • Fill each donut mold close to the top.
  • Bake for 10-12 minutes or until an inserted toothpick comes out clean.
  • Remove the donuts from the oven and allow them to cool for 5 minutes in the pan. Carefully remove them and allow them to finish cooling on a wire rack.
  • While the donuts are cooling, prepare the glaze. Melt the chocolate chips in a microwave safe bowl in 30 second increments until melted. Mix in the melted coconut oil until smooth.
  • Dip the surface of each donut in the chocolate glaze and top with some sprinkles, if desired. Allow the glaze to harden at room temperature or in the fridge.

Notes

  • You can make your own oat flour by blending up oats in a high speed blender until a fine flour is formed. Alternatively, you can purchase oat flour.
  • Avoid over mixing the donut batter, otherwise the donuts may turn out tough, dense and dry. Instead, gently mix the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients just until there is no more trace of flour.
  • The number of donuts that the recipe makes will depend on the size of your donut pan. I used the Wilton donut pan and got 7 donuts. If your donut pan only holds 6 donuts, you can add the remaining batter to a muffin cup and bake it up as a muffin instead if you wish (or just bake up the last donut in the donut pan when the first batch is done baking).
  • These donuts are on the larger side. If you want smaller donuts, fill the donut holes about 3/4 of the way. They may require less cooking time if they aren't filled as high.
  • The donuts may bake over the donut hole slightly. If you want to expand the hole in the middle, place the handle of a wooden spoon in the donut hole and twist it around to expand the hole to make it look more "donut-like."
  • If you want the chocolate glaze to harden faster, place the baked glazed donuts in the fridge for 20-30 minutes.
