Chocolate donuts

Donuts. Little sweet pillows of heaven but normally not really a healthy kind of food. They’re mostly fried, thickly coated with a sugar glaze and come in thousands of variations, fillings and glazes. If you live in the US there is no way of ignoring donuts. Every coffee shop sells them and there are stores dedicated only to producing and selling donuts. Of course during my time in beautiful California, even I couldn’t sometimes resist a delicious, sugar-coated donut and gave in to temptation but otherwise I try to stay away from them.
That brings us to today’s recipe. I really wanted to develop a vegan, gluten-free and refined sugar-free donut recipe and think I succeeded with this one. How about trying it out too and letting me know of your results. I am always happy to see pictures of my recipes made by you.
Wishing you all a wonderful weekend!
