We are in the middle of doing our Valentine’s Advent right now, so far so fun! The kids are enjoying opening up an envelope every morning and I think I’ve done a pretty good job of picking just the right things to do/say in each one, hooray for me! (If you want to peak at my Valentine’s Advent click here!)

Eggs, baking soda, vanilla, honey, butter…check, check, check, check, and check!
Coconut Flour…check!
This stuff is super dense and makes for a very dry end product if you don’t load it up with some type of liquid…this is why we need 5 eggs!
Once that batter is mixed up, pour it into a plastic bag and snip off the end to fill your greased donut pan. PS. I use coconut oil spray instead of the Pam type product…works like a charm!
Bake your donuts at 325 degrees for about 15 minutes.
Mmm…yeah these are the bomb diggity. But wait! They are about to get even better..time to make the icing, baby! 🙂
Get some good quality dark chocolate, about 1/2 cup will do. Add in 1 Tbsp of coconut oil and microwave for 1 minute. Stir until the chocolate is completely melted and…Voila! Chocolate icing on the healthy down low, booyah!
Dip those sweet little donuts into that chocolate and load them up with sprinkles if you so desire.
How’s about a plate of these to share with your sweetie?
And a cold glass of milk? My sweetie washes his down with a cold glass of coconut milk 🙂
I hope you enjoy these little donuts…you would never guess they were good for you!
Thanks for stopping by today!
XOXO,
Hi,
I’m followig your blog a time, but since a few months we know, that our daughter can’t eat gluten, so I#m searching for yummie gluten free recipes and I love your Blog more and more-it’s so helpful to find really good glutenfree recipes! The little one loves cakes, cakepops, muffins and of course donuts, now I have a recipe to make some =)
Thanks so much!
Hi Roxanne! I am so glad you found me! I will try to add more and more gluten free recipes as I create them! Happy baking to you!
I forgott: we love coconut flour- i bake bread with it and its wonderful, i like the smell and the taste of it….
if you buy gluten free products here in germany, the most products taste bad and you have to pay much mony for those products-so i make the most things by my self-yesterday i bought a donutpan =)
We’ve been attempting to go gluten free, and for the most part it is pretty easy, except when it comes to baking. But this recipe seems very simple and doesn’t include too many ingredients. So I think we may give it a whirl! Thanks for sharing! http://www.kraftinmommy.blogspot.com
I hope you love this recipe! I agree too, the hardest part about going GF is trying to come up with suitable baked goods, the more I play with ingredients the easier it is getting though, yahooo!
Those look so delicious!

Hey, I baked them and they are really great!
Today I started a second try with an other flour (sorry I don’t know the englisch word for it =( ) and with only 4 eggs and 50ml lactose free milk- they taste great too!
I’ll blog about it this week-the donuts are so easy to make and so jummie! thanks for this great recipe! My daughter loves them and we too =)
Do you dip the whole doughnut or just the top?
I just dip the tops!
Ok. Thank you:)
Any suggestions if we don’t have donut pans?
You can also use mini muffin or regular muffin pans. Just adjust the time so they don’t over bake!
xo,
Maggie
