Healthy Bite For A House Party-- Paleo Chocolate Donuts

A chocolate donut can rarely ever disappoint anyone. These rich chocolate frosted donuts are kid-friendly, nut-free, gluten-free and dairy free, which makes them a perfect option for the table when throwing a house party.

Why are they healthier? The main ingredients of this chocolate donut are coconut flour and cacao powder. Coconut flour is a great alternative for whole wheat flour, it is rich in protein and fiber, while low in carbohydrates. It’s surely a suitable option for gluten-free and paleo-minded bakers. Furthermore, these donuts are oven baked as opposed to fried in oil.

Cacao Powder does not contain the additives that are often in cocoa such as sugars, milk fat, hydrogenated oils and artificial flavorings. Surely it’s a great call for chocolate-lovers and healthy-eaters!
