Eve and I made these super cute festive donuts and honestly, I had no intention of sharing the recipe but once they were finished I figured why not?! Because:

1-YUM!

2- Fun!

3-They turned out to be so cute and SO DELICIOUS I just had to share them with you!

So, if you’re looking for a super simple, insanely delicious, fun, and festive, last-minute treat to make (& LBR eat) for Christmas (or just because, yum!) then look no further friend, these choc fudge reindeer donuts are EXACTLY what you need

Even if you’re not actively looking & I don’t think it matters the question fun, festive choc fudge donuts are always the answer!

Made with no refined flours or sugars using just a handful of ingredients that I bet you have on hand a ready & can be ready to devour in just 15 mins!

Healthified or not, I can’t think of a better way to start, end, or fill the day than with one (or 2) of these delicious little cuties!

You in?! Of course you are, you’re cool like that!

1 bowl + 15 mins (for my visual learners, click here for step-by-step pics + my fave donut making hack & to cook along with me  Let me know if you have any questions. Anytime.

From my heart to yours, enjoy xo

** You can sub 1/2 teaspoon of coconut flour in place of the protein powder but the taste & nutritional boost the protein pwd adds really takes these muffins to a whole new level!

I love Macro Mike plant based almond protein powder (have not tested any other brands ). Its gluten free, dairy free, sugar free, boosted with probiotics & truly tastes all kinds of incredible. Its hands down without question the smoothest, most delicious, elite tasting protein power (plant based/dairy free or otherwise!!) I have ever tried. And I have tried A LOT!  Use AMB-EM to get a cheeky discount of you want to try it & believe me, you do!

At last, at last it’s here a last!!! MY BIRTHDAY WEEK!!!! No so fun in stage 4 lock-down but, sprinkles and donuts make everything better!

Light, fluffy, soft, tender (secretly healthy) strawberry infused, vanilla donuts finished with an optional (but not really) white chocolate glaze and alllll of the sprinkles!!!!

Healthy enough to serve for breakfast (with a big ol’ vat of coffee, of course) but indulgent enough to enjoy for a cheeky little late night treat (with a cup of chocolate chai for me please)!

Super simple to make using just a handful of ingredients that I bet you have on hand already and come together in 1 bowl with 1 spoon and can be ready to devour in just 20 minutes!

Gluten Free – Dairy free – Grain free – Refined sugar free –  Low Carb – Paleo –  Keto – Vegan friendly.

I don’t know what else to tell you, but clearly you need them in your life because, yum!  I mean it is my birthday (week) after all, it’d be rude not to.

1 bowl, 6ish ingredients and 20 minutes!

Let the celebrations begin!!!!!

Strawberry Cream Funfetti Donuts

Makes 6

Ingredients –

2 eggs

2 Tablespoons of vanilla yoghurt

2 Tablespoons of unsweetened vanilla almond milk

1 Tablespoon of before you speak coffee sugar free vanilla creamer – or regular vanilla
The creamer makes them extra fluffy – use EMS10 to get a discount if you want to try it

1 cup almond flour

1/3 cup freeze dried strawberries, crushed

1 teaspoon of coconut flour

1/4 cup monk fruit sweetener – I use Lakanto

1 teaspoon baking powder

1/2 teaspoon of baking soda

A pinch of salt

For the frosting –

1 block of white chocolate – I used Loving earth

For the pink tint I added this gypsy rose latte mix by Knowrish well – amazing ingredients and super yum!

SPRINKLES!!!!!!!!!

Method –

For the donuts ;

1 – Pre-heat oven to 175’C/350’F

2 – Grease your donut pan (or muffin tray) then set aside.

3 – Place all donut ingredients apart from the freeze dried strawberries in to a medium size bowl and stir until well combined.

4 – Add freeze dried strawberries and stir to combine.

5 – Pipe (or spoon) your donut mix in to your prepared donut (or muffin) tray. I like to pour the mixture in to a zip lock bag , snip of the corner and pipe it in to the tray. I find it a lot easier (and way less messy) to do it this way.

6 – Bake for 10-12 minutes (or 15-20 if doing muffins) until the top springs back when lightly pressed.

7 – Set aside to cool while you make your glaze.

While your donuts are cooling prepare the frosting –

1 – Melt chocolate by your preferred method

2 – Stir in latte mix (or colouring of choice)

3 – Dip donuts in to melted chocolate and sprinkle with sprinkles.

4 – Devour!

The post Strawberry Shortcake Donuts first appeared on Better with Cake.

Light, fluffy,  soft and tender, subtly sweet, perfectly spiced and just all kinds of wonderful!

Something that you may or may not know about me is that I LOVEEEEE donuts!

I remember growing up, when I was finally was allowed to walk to school by myself, each week I would try to save some of my pocket money and leave for school a few minutes early just so I could swing by this cute little bakery and pick up a freshly baked, fluro frosted, pretty pink donut (with extra sprinkles) to eat as I finished my walk to school. It was heaven!

And, one of my first jobs was actually at a cafe/donut shop in our local mall! I loved making and frosting (and eating) all the donuts!And boy did I eat allllll of the donuts. And then some!

These days I don’t buy donuts very often because a good gluten free donut can be a little hard to come by. And, since we’ve moved to Melbourne and being isolated (but safe) at home, we don’t know our way around just yet and a lot of the go-to recommended places are not currently open for business.

So, whats a girl to do  . . . she heads to the kitchen and whips up a batch and you guys, these donuts . . . exceeded all of my expectations!

I’ve made donuts before but not like this. These donuts are next level deliciousness I tell you and even spunky husband and Eve agreed. Hands down, without question, the best donuts I’ve ever made! Ever!

And that glaze. Made with a mix of dark chocolate and nut butter . . . it’s everything I love in life all served up on one delicious donut!

So rich, so chocolaty (with a cheeky hint of espresso if you’re feeling it), paired with those light as air, cinnamon spiced, snickerdoodle donuts and finished a deliciously buttery, crisp and crunchy cookie crumble . . .

My life is now complete.

Wait eating these, while drinking coffee = life complete!

Donuts + espresso infused chocolate + nut butter AND a cookie crunch! OOooO yes!

Made with just 6 ingredients that I bet you have on hand already and come together in 1 bowl with 1 spoon and can be ready to devour in around 20 minutes!

Healthy enough to serve for breakfast (with a big ol’ vat of coffee, of course) but indulgent enough to enjoy for a little late night indulgence (with a cup of chocolate-chai for me please)!

Gluten Free – Dairy free – Grain free – Refined sugar free –  Low Carb – Paleo –  Keto – Vegan friendly.

From my heart to yours, enjoy xo

Sorry, I couldn’t help myself, it had to be done.

One bite of these babies and you will completely understand!

Choc chip mocha donuts with a salted dark chocolate espresso glaze . . .

OOooOOO yes!

Question, do you say donut or doughnut ?

I’m going with donut because it’s shorter, cuter and easier to type and easier to type = quicker to finish and quicker to finish = sooner we can eat . . .

You guys, these donuts, I can’t even with the deliciousness!

Imagine if rich German chocolate cake and a super fudgy brownie had a light and fluffy baby . . . well that’s pretty much what we have here!

I’ve made donuts before but not like this. This recipe is magic, even if I do say so myself!

These donuts are light and fluffy,  soft and tender, subtly sweet, seriously and I mean SERIOUSLY chocolaty, with the perfect hum (or loud rev if you prefer) of espresso.

I find that hint of espresso helps to balance out the sweetness and really enhance the richness of the cacao.

Plus, coffee and donuts go together like the peanut butter and jelly, or cookies and cream , chalk and cheese . . . wait, that’s not right?! How about the moon and the stars ?! That’s better.

I mean coffee and donuts, name a more iconic duo . . . I’ll wait . . . see , you can’t they’re the perfect match!

And that glaze . . . with those crunchy cacao nibs and that flaky sea salt . . .

It’s the literal icing on the cake! Well, in this case, donut but you know what I mean . . .

It’s heaven!

Last week we celebrated national donut day and it reminded me how much I love a good donut.

And now, I can’t stop!

And you know what? I can’t even a little bit mad about it . . .

Let me tell you, these mocha choc chip donuts are 100% worth celebrating whenever you make them. Please let it be today?!

Made with no refined flours or sugars using a handful of ingredients that I bet you have on hand already and come together in 1 bowl , with 1 spoon and can be ready to devour in less than 20 mins!

Decadent enough to be savoured as a late night dessert, but secretly healthy enough to be enjoyed for breakfast with a big ol’ vat of coffee (perfect for donut dunking) , of course.

Who says we need just one day to celebrate such deliciousness?!

Gluten Free – Dairy free – Grain free – Refined sugar free –  Paleo –  Keto – Vegan friendly

All natural, quick and easy, light and fluffy, soft and tender, deliciously indulgent, secretly healthy, seriously chocolaty , espresso infused donuts . . .

Make them. Eat them. Love, love, love them.
