Ingredients
For the donuts:
- 1 cup almond meal 90 grams
- 1/2 cup coconut flour sifted 46 grams
- 1/8 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 2 egg
- 1/4 cup coconut oil melted *
- 2 tbsp Greek yogurt nonfat plain
- 1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/4 teaspoon almond extract pure
- 1/4 cup honey 2 tablespoons
For the ganache:
- 1/4 cup coconut milk full fat
- 1/2 tbsp honey plus 1 tablespoon to taste
- 3.5 ounces semi-sweet chocolate chopped
- sweetened coconut flakes for sprinkling
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350 degrees and generously spray a donut pan with cooking spray.
- In a medium bowl, stir together the almond meal, coconut flour, salt, baking powder, and baking soda.
- In a large bowl, beat together the eggs, coconut oil, Greek yogurt, vanilla extract, almond extract, and honey until well blended.
- Pour the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients and beat until smooth and combined.
- Spoon the mixture into the donut trays, filling about 3/4 of the way up each donut mold. To make it easier, and less messy, you can use a piping bag, or a zip loc bag with the corner cut off to fill the trays. Let the batter stand 10 minutes before baking, to allow the coconut flour to begin absorption.
- Bake until golden brown, and the donut springs back and a toothpick inserted in the donut comes out clean, about 10-12 minutes.
- Let cool slightly in the pan and then remove to dip into the ganache.

Notes
- * I also made these with only 2 Tbsp of coconut oil and they are still very good, just a little bit more dry.** Start by using ½ Tbsp of honey and then taste the ganache once the chocolate is whisked in. If you like a sweeter chocolate, you can whisk in some more honey while the ganache is fresh and warm.Donuts are best fresh, but can be tightly sealed and stored at room temperature for 2 days.If you don’t have a donut pan, you can bake these in muffin tins for 20-22 minutes.Please note that gluten free baked goods do not rise like their gluten-containing counterparts. Your donuts will have a rather flat bottom. This is normal.
