I know what you’re thinking. Donuts? Gorgie, for real? Yes, and yes again. That’s because these dark chocolate donuts contain no gluten, dairy or sugar.
Not only that, they’re easy to make, and my girls devoured!
And if you keep a pantry like mine – the ingredients are easy to assemble and include the regular superstars such as coconut oil, cocoa and maple syrup.
If you don’t already own donut-shaped bakeware, I highly suggest investing in such, as you’ll use it again (stay tuned for another recipe I’m excited to share).
But in the meantime, if you want to ‘wow’ your family with a decadent treat (they’ll never guess ‘healthy’)– here’s the easiest, fool-proof way. You can thank me later 😊.
