HEALTHY CHOCOLATE DONUTS MADE WITH SWEET POTATO
Think
about a thick layer of chocolate glaze on head of a healthy gluten and dairy
free small sweet potato paleo donut! A reduced down treat you'll be celebrated
for!
Think
about what tomorrow is? In the event that you said National Donut Day, you
would be right, and you've most likely previously made arrangements to go out
and get your preferred donut. What is your preferred donut?
My
preferred donut growing up truly shouldn't be viewed as a donut. It was a cake
in donut structure, that's right, give me the icing filled donuts. I frequently
ate the icing out of it and disposed of the rest. Like I generally state, kids
are extraordinary at knowing how much and what to eat of when!
So
these donuts aren't a long way from my preferred youth ones. They have a fluffy
sweet potato base and are slathered with a thick layer of chocolate, the
pleasure is all mine!
INGREDIENTS:
Donuts
- 2 tablespoons coconut flour
- 1/2 teaspoon sea salt
- 2 tablespoons maple syrup
- 2 tablespoons arrowroot flour
- 1/4 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/4 teaspoon baking powder
- 2 large eggs
- 1/4 cup black cocoa powder or regular cocoa
- 1/4 cup coconut sugar
- 3 tablespoons coconut oil
- 1 small white sweet potato raw minced in food processor
Glaze
- 1/4 cup coconut oil
- 1/4 teaspoon sea salt
- 1 cup chocolate chips
INSTRUCTIONS:
- Preheat oven to 350F. Generously grease a donut pan with coconut oil (see notes for the one I use).
- In a food processor or blender combine all ingredients for donuts until smooth (the minced sweet potato gets blended raw with the other ingredients).
- Transfer batter to a pastry bag and pipe the batter into the donut pan.
- Bake on 350F for about 15-18 minutes until a toothpick when inserted comes out clean. Cool before spooning out of pan and cooling on a cooling rack.
- Melt ingredients for glaze over low heat in a double boiler. Remove as soon as coconut oil is melted and whisk until smooth. Allow to cool slightly to thicken before pouring over donuts.
