Black and White Wednesday

Claire and I made mini donuts a few days ago. I repinned a great recipe from Pinterest. (Thanks Sue)
It's a healthier donut. Baked, used with almond flour. Here is the recipe. (I did cheat a little and used chocolate frosting)
I used this recipe with a mini donut maker instead of the oven.

Donuts (makes 6 regular sized donuts OR 18 mini donuts)

• 1 1/4 cup almond flour
• 1/4 tsp salt
• 1/4 tsp baking soda
• 1 tsp nutmeg
• 1/2 tsp cinnamon
• 3 eggs
• 1/4 cup oil of your choice, melted (I used coconut oil)
• 2 TBS honey
•  1/2 tsp pure vanilla extract)

1. Preheat oven to 350F.
2. Whisk together all dry ingredients in a bowl. Transfer to a blender*( I did not use a blender)
3. Combine all wet ingredients in a bowl. Add to the blender.
4. Blend until batter is very smooth. Pour into greased donut molds 
5. Bake for 12 minutes. 

Cinnamon Topping

• 1 cup of dates, pitted (about 8 medjool dates)
• 1 1/2 TBS cinnamon
• 2 TBS ghee/butter, melted
• hazelnuts, chopped and toasted
• unsweeted coconut 

1. Place dates, cinnamon and ghee in a food processor and process until a thick, spreadable paste has formed. 
2. Combine hazelnuts and coconut in a shallow bowl. Set aside.
