Life happens. Chocolate helps. 

There's no time for chit chat!  Let's make magic happen in your kitchen today.  Grab that ten dollar donut (doughnut) pan you've invested your happiness in, and let's bake these simple chocolately gems I like to call Chocolate Glazed Donuts. A REAL treat made with REAL ingredients. Guilt-free and gluten-free for all to love and enjoy! 

CHOCOLATE GLAZED DONUTS
makes 10 donuts

Ingredients:​

​Wet

• 4 eggs
• 1/4 cup maple syrup
• 1/4 cup coconut oil, melted (+ 1 tbsp of coconut oil for greasing pan)
• 1 tsp vanilla extract

Dry

• 1 1/2 cups gluten-free flour
• 1/4 cup cacao powder or unsweetened cocoa powder
• 1 tsp. baking soda
• 1 tsp. instant espresso powder
• 1/2 tsp. salt

Glaze

• 1/4 cup coconut oil
• 2 tbsp. cacao powder
• 2 tbsp. maple syrup

1.  Preheat oven to 350 degrees and grease a doughnut pan with coconut oil. 

2.  In a large bowl mix wet ingredients together.  Then add dry ingredients. Whisk everything together until it makes a nice doughnut batter. 

3.  Pour batter into a measuring cup with a pourable lip or top. This helps you accurately pour the batter into each doughnut cavity.  Fill each doughnut cavity with the batter.  Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until your toothpick comes out clean. (Toothpick test: Stick a toothpick in the doughnut until it comes out clean) 

4.  While doughnuts are baking, let's make the glaze!  Put the coconut oil in a small pot over low heat.  Once the coconut oil has melted, whisk in the remaining glaze ingredients.  Remove from heat and put aside until doughnuts are baked and cooled. Spread, pour or dip each doughnut into the glaze.  If you have excess glaze you can always pour more glaze all over the doughnuts :)
