The ultimate dessert: DOUGHNUTS. These mini doughnuts are as delicious as they are cute! They are sweet, chewy, and super chocolately. While you may be tempted, you must wait until the doughnuts are fully cool before dipping them in the chocolate mixture. If you don’t, the chocolate will seep into the doughnut and melt down the sides. You can also put the doughnuts directly into the fridge after dipping them in chocolate to help them set faster. Pyure sweetener was used for these, but feel free to use your favorite sugar-free sweetener. Taste the mixture before adding the egg and add additional sweetener accordingly.
Melt the butter in a glass bowl. Add the applesauce and vanilla extract and mix together.
Add the sweetener, 3.5 Tbsp. cocoa powder, almond flour, flaxseed, baking soda and baking powder and mix together.
In a separate bowl, whisk the egg and whisk it into the batter.
Spoon the batter into a small ziploc bag and cut off a corner with a scissor. Grease a mini-donut pan and pipe the batter into the cavities of the pan. The batter should only fill the cavities until they’re about ⅔ full.
Once you’ve filled 10 wells and used up the batter, bake at 375 degrees for 12-14 minutes.
While they are baking, melt the chocolate. Add ½ Tbsp. coconut oil, ¼ tsp. Vanilla extract, and 1 tsp. Cocoa powder and mix together. Allow the mixture to cool and come to room temperature.
After the doughnuts have finished baking, remove the pan from the oven and allow to cool for 10 minutes before taking the doughnuts from the molds.
Remove the doughnuts from their mold and allow them to completely cool on a cooling rack.
Dip the doughnuts in the chocolate mixture and place on a piece of parchment or cooling rack. If the chocolate starts to seep into the doughnut, carefully spoon leftover chocolate on top. Enjoy or a bit your favorite low-carb sprinkles for color.
