Superfood Chocolate Donuts
These donuts will win your heart! Rich chocoalte, deep flavor and SO good for you! Pretty much each ingredient is a superfood, so dense with nutrients!
Ingredients
- 2 1/2 ripe bananas
- 1/4 cup nut milk of your choice
- 2 tbsp green banana flour
- 1/2 cup unsweetened sunflower seed butter
- 1/2 cup raw cacao powder
- 1/2 cup fresh ground almonds or hazelnuts of sunflower seeds if you need nut free
- 1- 2 tbsp Maca optional
- 1 1/2 tbsp Reishi / Chaga Powder
- 1 tbsp Cinnamon
- 1 1/2 tbsp baking powder
- 1/4 tsp pink himalayan salt
- 3-6 tbsp maple syrup depending on how sweet you prefer your treat
Instructions
-
Pre-heat your oven to 350F. I prefer using the convention function of my oven.
-
Place bananas and milk in food processor and puree them.
-
Add rest of the ingredients and swirl it around till they are blended well.
-
Portion out dough into a silicone doughnut pan with a spoon, filling each mould till about halfway. The batter will fill 7-8 large doughnut moulds. You might need to coat the pan with coconut oil to prevent sticking.
-
Bake on 350F for 12 minutes. Test it, if fork comes out clean-ish it's baked though. The middle will always be a bit moist (yum!)
-
Take out from oven and let it cool for about 10 minutes. I could remove them from the mould nicely only when doughnuts were cool.
