Powdered Chocolate Donut Holes (Low Carb)

August 12, 2013 By Karen Sorenson

This content will be shown before all post

Most of the time my breakfasts consist of meat and veggies, but every once in awhile I like something a little different.  These Powdered Chocolate Donut Holes really hit the spot!  I wanted to make them using coconut flour because lately I have been going overboard with the nuts (almond flour, almond butter, macadamia nuts, etc.).  Consuming too many nuts can throw off your Omega 3: Omega 6 ratio, since nuts usually have more Omega 6’s in them which means that they can be inflammatory.  When I start to feel extra inflammation, nuts and dairy are the first things I cut back on (since I already avoid grains, vegetable oils, etc.)  and this helps me reduce the inflammation.

When using coconut flour not all brands behave the same way.  I use Let’s Do Organic, but if you find your dough is a little dry then you can trying adding a little bit of liquid (eggs, coconut milk, butter, coconut oil, etc.) to help bring  the dough together.  Hope that helps!

Powdered Chocolate Donut Holes (Low Carb)

Ingredients

  • 1/4 cup coconut flour
  • 3 Tbsp organic cocoa powder
  • 1/4 cup equivalent sweetener (Use Swerve for low carb or use honey for Paleo)
  • 1/4 tsp baking soda
  • 1/4 tsp Celtic sea salt
  • 2 large pastured eggs
  • 1/4 cup butter, melted
  • 1/3 cup Confectioner's Swerve or use powdered coconut sugar for Paleo

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350 F
  2. Combine the coconut flour, cocoa powder, sweetener (if dry), baking soda, and salt
  3. Combine the eggs, honey (if using) and butter.
  4. Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and mix to combine.
  5. Scoop the dough (I used a small cookie scoop) onto a parchment paper lined baking sheet (makes 14 donut holes).
  6. Bake for 8-10 mins
  7. Allow to cool
  8. Place the Confectioner's Swerve or powdered coconut sugar into a plastic bag and add the donut holes and shake to coat

Notes

Net Carb Count*: 2.8 g net carbs for 3 donut holes (makes about 14 donut holes)

Total Carb Count: 6.4 g for 3 donut holes (plus the carbs for the sweetener)

*Note carb counts are estimated based on the products I used. Check nutrition labels for accurate carb counts and gluten information.
