5 Ingredient Healthy Donuts

I am a FOODIE.  Let's just start by saying that.  I also LOVE my treats and desserts! So when I can find a chance to make what I love healthier and better for me, I do! Because donuts are a staple for me (especially Sundays after church!), I wanted to find an alternative so that I didn't ruin my eating plan every week! I was so excited to try this out, and I loves the results! My husband was a fan of them, too! Check it out and let me know what you think!

Here is the recipe for the cake part of the donut:



1 cup almond meal/flour
1/4 cup  honey (or maple syrup or agave)
2 large eggs
2 tsp vanilla extract
1/4 tsp baking soda

1.) Preheat your oven to 300F
2.) Grease your donut pan and set aside.
3.) In a medium mixing bowl, mix together all of your ingredients until smooth.
4.) Fill your donut pans with your mixture, filling each donut cavity 1/2 way full.
5.) Bake for 10-15 minutes, keeping an eye on them and taking them out as soon as your donuts are cooked and a toothpick into the middle removes clean. Be sure not to overcook them as they'll dry out!
6.) Allow to cool before removing from the tins.



And for the chocolate glaze:

1/2 cup of chocolate chips
1-2 teaspoons of coconut oil

1.) Heat up both the oil and chocolate chips in a microwave safe bowl for 30 seconds.
2.) Stir mixture.
3.) Continue to heat up in 10-15 second intervals until a smooth chocolate glaze has formed.
4.) Once your donuts and glaze have completely cooled, dip the donuts in the glaze!

ENJOY!!!
