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? I really don't know. 😉 Either way, this baked chocolate doughnut/donut recipe is a must try!

        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!

    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

    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.
