Ingredients
Donuts
- 1 ½ cups whole wheat pastry flour or cake flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- ¼ teaspoon baking soda
- ½ teaspoon sea salt
- ½ cup coconut sugar
- ½ cup full fat Greek yogurt or dairy-free yogurt, at room temperature
- ¼ cup unsweetened almond milk
- 1 large egg at room temperature
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- ¼ cup coconut oil melted
Coconut Crunch
- ⅓ cup honey melted
- 1 cup unsweetened shredded coconut toasted
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 325°F. Spread coconut out on a rimmed baking sheet. You can line the sheet with parchment if you'd like. Bake until coconut is lightly golden and fragrant. This should take about 5-10 minutes. You'll want to watch it closely so it doesn't burn and toss the coconut 1-2 times while baking to ensure it browns evenly. Remove from oven, let cool and set aside.
- Turn oven temp up to 350°F.
- In a medium bowl, add the flour, baking soda, baking powder and salt and stir until combined.
- In another medium bowl, whisk together coconut sugar, Greek yogurt, almond milk, egg, vanilla and coconut oil.
- Add wet mixture to dry mixture, and stir until just combined.
- Spray two (6-cavity) donut pans with cooking spray. Spoon or pipe batter evenly into the 12 cavities.
- Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until donuts spring back when lightly pressed. Cool in pan for 2 minutes. Invert donuts onto a wire rack.
- While donuts are cooling, add honey to small microwave-safe bowl (just make sure it’s big enough to dip the donuts in the bowl) and microwave for about 30 seconds until thin and melted.
- Add toasted coconut to a small plate. Dip both sides of a donut in the honey and then in the toasted coconut until donut is coated. Repeat until all donuts are coated.
- Place donuts in the fridge or freezer to set for a few minutes. Enjoy immediately or store in the fridge for 4-5 days.
