Dark Chocolate Donuts with Toasted Coconut

/ Desserts / By

I am obsessed with these rich chocolate coconut donuts. These guys are also gluten & grain-free too!

This is 100% a recipe I will be making over, and over, and over again! If you’re a lover of rich, gooey chocolate cake, and have a soft spot for a hint of coconut, I think you’re going to LOVE these!

I was so excited when I received a gift of date sugar from LIVA. Date sugar has some pretty great benefits to it too!

Date sugar is low glycemic, good for gut health and balancing blood sugar (to fight cravings). It also contains Vitamin K, E, C, A, B6, 12, selenium, copper, protein, iron, zinc, phosphorus, calcium, potassium, magnesium, omega 3 & 6. To top it off, it is also high in fibre!
