Do you have an open mind?
An open mind hasn’t been calcified in its idea of how the world works. An open mind is willing to consider that a new way of doing something could be a better way.
An open mind is a gift.
Children naturally have open minds. Their idea of the world is delightfully pliable. Isn’t this why you love spending time with the children in your life? The magic of possibility and wonder dances in their eyes.
This recipe for Chocolate-Glazed Doughnuts requires that you have an open mind. Forget your idea of what a doughnut is and open up to the possibility that maybe, just maybe, these baked, grain-free, lightly sweetened doughnuts are exactly what a doughnut should be.
Open your mind, my friend, open your mind . . .
1¼ cups blanched almond flour
¼ teaspoon baking soda
2 tablespoons coconut oil, melted
1 tablespoon pure maple syrup
10 drops Liquid Stevia
¼ teaspoon almond extract
½ teaspoon vanilla extract
1 teaspoon apple cider vinegar
2 eggs, at room temperature, separated
¾ cup unsweetened chocolate pieces
2 tablespoons raw honey
1 tablespoon coconut oil
20 drops Liquid Stevia
Preheat the oven to 350°F. Generously grease a 6-mold doughnut pan with coconut oil and set aside.
Combine the flour and baking soda in a medium bowl. In another medium bowl, combine the coconut oil, maple syrup, liquid stevia, almond extract, vanilla extract, vinegar, and egg yolks. Mix the dry ingredients into the wet and set aside.
In a stand mixer fitted with the whisk attachment or in a large bowl with a whisk, beat the egg whites until peaks form. Gently fold the egg whites into the batter.
Equally distribute the batter among the 6 doughnut molds. Smooth out the tops of each doughnut. Bake for 12–15 minutes, until lightly golden. Allow the doughnuts to cool before removing them from the pan and transferring to the fridge to chill.
In a lazy man’s double boiler, combine the glaze ingredients. Mix until smooth. Pour the melted chocolate into a shallow dish and dip each chilled doughnut into the mixture. Place the glazed doughnuts on a plate and chill in the fridge until the chocolate has set.
Sprinkle with Rainbow Coconut Sprinkles.
