My daughter received a mini doughnut maker (like a waffle iron) for a recent gift. Ugh…so I had to find a way to make it work! If you don’t have one, I’m sure a mini-muffin pan would be perfect! This recipe was a hit with both of my girls…my youngest is a little pickier, so I have to try really hard to hide any signs of coconut which can be challenging as a Paleo cook!
5 eggs
1 banana
1/4 cup coconut flour
pinch of salt
3 Medjool dates, pitted and finely chopped
1/4 cup creamy almond butter
1 tsp vanilla
2T cocoa powder
1 tsp instant coffee crystals
1/2 tsp baking powder
5-6 oz. dark chocolate
1/4 cup crushed walnuts (optional)
Pre-heat donut maker until green light comes on (or until ready).
In a mixing bowl, combine the first 10 ingredients until blended.
Fill the bottom half of the doughnut maker until level. Lower top half and cook for approximately 3-4 minutes until firm and slightly browned. Let cool on a cooling rack. Continue to cook until batter is gone. It makes about 20 mini doughnuts.
While the doughnuts are cooling, heat chocolate in a double boiler on low until melted.
Dip the tops of the doughnuts in the chocolate. (OPTIONAL: Next, dip in the crushed walnuts or coconut flakes). Place back on the cooling rack. Repeat.
Enjoy!
