To begin, these Healthy Gluten Free Chocolate Doughnuts are grain-free and low in sugar. Also, the doughnuts are so easy to make. The Gluten Free Chocolate Doughnuts are oven baked and basically taste like chocolate cake. You only need 9 ingredients such as almond flour, cacao powder, baking powder, vanilla, eggs, maple syrup, olive oil, dark chocolate, and sprinkles. Lastly, is it doughnut or donut?

It was my first time making donuts; and it couldn’t have been simpler! You could eat them all cause they are DELICIOUS!! But one fills you up for sure 😋

This was my first time making donuts, and this recipe was perfect!!! I was shocked how great the texture was (this was the first time I’ve made a GF donut!), and they are the perfect size!
Not too sweet, but not bitter. And absolutely hit the spot when you’re craving a donut but can’t have the gluten!
Love to hear this, Chelsea! I am so happy you enjoyed the doughnuts. 🙂 – Krista <3

Is six stars a thing? It should be. The batter tastes sooo good so before you even bake them you know they're going to be amazing!!!! I used my mini donut pan and it made approx 25 mini donuts with this recipe. They came out so cute! Adjusted the bake time to approx 7-8 min in the oven due their very small size. Frozen bananas is always where I go when I want a recipe I trust to actually work the first time I try it. I made this entire recipe during my lunch break today, so you know it's good xoxo
This might be the best comment I've ever received! Thank you so much, Lindsay! I appreciate your support so much and I am so happy you loved the donuts. 🙂 - Krista <3

Is there a different pan option if I don’t have a donut pan?
I have only made them using a donut pan. You could prob bake them in a muffin pan, but can't guarantee they will be like muffins.
