Glazed Chocolate Donuts (Grain-free & Nut-free) & Dairy-Free Hot Chocolate

Today I spent a lazy morning with my children.  We made donuts and hot chocolate.  We then all settled in the living room to enjoy a movie.  It was very relaxing.  I love homeschooling and all the freedoms it allows us.  What follows below are the two recipes I used for these treats which were inspired by one of my favorite sites: http://detoxinista.com/

Sorry it's not a better picture.  We were hungry.  :-)

Glazed Chocolate Donuts (Grain-free, Nut-free)

Prep time:  10 mins

Cook time:  20 mins

Total time:  30 mins

Serves: 6

 

Ingredients

For the Chocolate Donuts:

• ¼ cup coconut flour Coconut Secret Raw Coconut Flour (Gluten Free), 16 Ounce Canister
• ¼ cup cacao powder  Navitas Naturals Organic Raw Cacao Powder, 16-Ounce Pouches (Pack of 2)
• ⅛ teaspoon himalaya salt Funfresh Foods Real Food Trading Company Himalayan Pink Sea Salt, 2-Pound
• ½ teaspoon baking soda
• 3 eggs
• ¼ cup coconut oil, melted, Nutiva Certified Organic Extra Virgin Coconut Oil -- 54 fl oz
• ⅓ cup pure maple syrup
• 1 tablespoon vanilla extract

For the Chocolate Glaze:

• 2 T cacao powder
• 2 T cacao butter, melted Ecuadorian Truly Raw Cacao Butter, 16oz - Pacari Chocolate
• 2 T coconut oil, melted
• 3 T sweetener of choice, I used raw honey
• 1/2 t vanilla 
• 1/8 t Himalayan salt.

Instructions

1. Preheat the oven to 350F  In a medium bowl, whisk together the coconut flour, cacao powder, himalaya salt and baking soda. Add in the eggs, coconut oil, maple syrup, and vanilla and whisk again until a uniform batter is created.
2. Carefully spoon batter in to donut mold. I use this one Freshware 6-Cavity Savarin and Donut Silicone Mold and Baking Pan Don't worry if the hole closes up during baking, you can just cut it out.
3. Bake the donuts at 350F for 18-20 minutes, until the dough has risen and is firm to the touch.
4. Allow donuts to cool for a few minutes and then remove from mold.  Put on a cooling rack and allow to cool completely.
5. To glaze the donuts, prepare the chocolate glaze by melting cacao buter & coconut oil in dehydrator to keep raw. Add sweetner. Mix well and then add cacao powder,  mixing throughly. Add himalaya salt & vanilla.
6. I find it easiest to glaze the donuts by dunking them into the melted chocolate mixture while it’s still warm. If you want more glaze on your donut, dip twice.
7. Serve warm, or allow to cool completely to avoid chocolate running over your fingers.

And there you have it!  Enjoy and be sure to let me know what you think.
