I hope you all had a fabulous Thanksgiving. We absolutely did and I can’t wait to share more about it in my moments post later this week! But for now, I am very excited to share this recipe for Paleo Baked Chocolate Donuts with a White Chocolate Glaze with you! From what I have observed, and experienced in my own life, donuts are an integral part of holiday celebrations that just don’t get enough press. I mean I can’t tell you how pictures I saw of people enjoying donuts on Thanksgiving morning or on Black Friday before they went out to shop until they dropped. It doesn’t seem to matter to most of us that the celebrations themselves include so many treats, from cookies to cakes to pies. Breakfast deserves to be special too! But if you’d like to enjoy all the fun of donuts without the sugar crash and not-so-wholesome ingredients, then you need to make these Paleo Baked Chocolate Donuts with a White Chocolate Glaze! They’re crazy delicious, much healthier than your average donut and can be dressed up for any occasion!
These Baked Chocolate Donuts are seriously the BEST….
These Paleo Baked Chocolate Donuts rank in my top 3 favorite recipes to come from my kitchen to yours this year! Seriously they are so good for so many reasons! Here are a few:
Here are a few tips on making this recipe!
Paleo Baked Chocolate Donuts: Substitutions
This recipe is absolutely the best as it’s written, but there are a few possible substitutions. Please, please, please don’t change the amount and type of flour used in this recipe, you absolutely need to use blanched almond flour to achieve the best results!
Coconut oil. Melted butter or ghee can be used in place of coconut oil! Just be sure to choose an ingredient that complies with your dietary needs! Honey. Maple syrup is a great substitute for honey {although I do prefer honey}.
White chocolate Glaze
I always keep raw cocoa butter on hand because it’s a great dairy-free baking staple. If you do not keep it around, you can substitute white chocolate melts or a white chocolate bar. Please be sure to buy real white chocolate. The ingredient must contain cocoa butter, and must not contain corn syrup. Using white chocolate will result in a sweeter glaze and you may need to add less powered sugar to get it to thicken!
Powdered sugar. Use this recipe to make paleo powdered sugar! You can use regular powdered sugar just understand that it is not paleo. Making your own will result in a more brownish-colored glaze, so be aware of this.
Other noteworthy celebrations that usually involve donuts are birthdays, all of the national holidays {Valentine’s, St. Patty’s, etc. etc.} and just your average Saturday {because everyone one of those is worthy of celebrating if you ask me}! Which is why I think it’s super important to have a recipe like these Paleo Baked Chocolate Donuts with a White Chocolate Glaze in your tool belt!
