Calories: 101kcal
Ingredients
Donut Holes
- ½ cup chocolate chips
- ¼ cup canned coconut milk
- 2 eggs
- 1 cup almond flour
- 1 tsp cinnamon
- ¼ tsp baking powder
- ½ tsp vanilla extract
- 1 pinch salt
Glaze
- ¼ cup coconut oil
- 1 TBSP honey
- ½ tsp vanilla extract
- 1 TBSP coconut milk
- 1 TBSP cocoa powder (optional)
- 2 TBSP shredded coconut (toasted, optional)
Instructions
To make the donut holes:
- Preheat your cake pop maker or oven to 350°F.
- In a medium sauce pan, heat the chocolate chips and coconut milk over low heat just until melted, stirring constantly.
- Remove from heat and set aside.
- Place the eggs in a mixing bowl and whisk on high until they are light and foamy.
- Fold in the melted chocolate mixture.
- Add the almond flour, cinnamon, baking powder, vanilla, and salt and mix well
- Spoon the batter into the cavities of the cake pop maker or donut hole pan, filling to just above the rim.
- Bake in the cake pop maker or preheated oven for 5 minutes before flipping and cooking for 2 more minutes.
- Place the cooked donut holes on a plate and place in the freezer for 45 minutes.
To glaze:
- Combine the coconut oil and honey in a small saucepan and heat over low heat, stirring constantly, just until melted.
- Whisk in the vanilla extract, coconut milk, and cocoa powder if using.
- Pour the glaze into a glass 1 cup measure and dunk each donut hole, placing back on the plate to set.
- Dunk a second time if desired for a thicker coating of glaze.
- If you'd like coconut covered donut holes, sprinkle them with toasted shredded coconut while the glaze is still wet.
Notes
- This recipe makes a thick batter that is then baked in either a cake pop maker or a donut hole pan. If you don't have/don't want to buy either of those you can just use a mini cupcake pan. Your donut holes won't be round, but they'll be just as tasty!
- You can add cocoa powder to the glaze to make a chocolate glaze or sprinkle the still-wet glazed donut holes with toasted shredded coconut if desired.
