Ingredients
  

INGREDIENTS
  • 1 cup whole wheat flour about 125g
  • ½ cup unsweetened cocoa powder around 50g
  • ¼ cup coconut sugar roughly 60g
  • 2 tsp baking powder
  • ¼ tsp sea salt
  • ½ cup unsweetened almond milk 120ml
  • ¼ cup natural peanut butter about 60g
  • 2 tbsp coconut oil melted (30ml)
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract 5ml
  • FOR THE FROSTING:
  • ⅓ cup natural peanut butter 80g
  • 2 tbsp unsweetened cocoa powder 15g
  • 2 tbsp maple syrup 30ml
  • A pinch of sea salt

Method
 

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a donut pan.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, combine the whole wheat flour, cocoa powder, coconut sugar, baking powder, and sea salt.
  3. In a separate bowl, whisk together the almond milk, peanut butter, melted coconut oil, eggs, and vanilla extract.
  4. Slowly incorporate the wet ingredients into the dry mix. Stir until just combined.
  5. Carefully spoon or pipe the batter into the donut pan, filling each cavity three-quarters full.
  6. Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until a toothpick comes out clean.
  7. While the donuts are baking, prepare the frosting. Mix peanut butter, cocoa powder, maple syrup, and sea salt until smooth.
  8. Once the donuts have cooled, spread the frosting over each one.

Notes

PRO TIPS
Ensure your ingredients are at room temperature for even mixing.
For a nuttier texture, sprinkle some crushed peanuts on top of the frosted donuts.
If you’re not a fan of peanut butter, you can easily swap it for almond or cashew butter.
  • Enjoy these Healthy Chocolate Peanut Butter Frosted Donuts with a glass of almond milk for added richness.
  • If you’re feeling adventurous, pair the donuts with a scoop of your favorite healthy ice cream or Greek yogurt.
  • They also taste amazing when served with a sprinkle of coconut flakes or a drizzle of honey for some extra sweetness.
