- 1 small orange sweet potato, raw, peeled and cubed
- 2 eggs
- 3 ½ Tablespoons coconut oil
- ¼ cup coconut sugar
- 1 Tablespoon beet powder OR finely ground espresso
- 2 Tablespoon coconut flour
- 2 Tablespoons arrowroot powder
- ½ teaspoon sea salt
- ¼ teaspoon baking powder
- ¼ teaspoon baking soda
- 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
- ¼ cup coconut oil
- flaky sea salt like maldon, for sprinkling
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Grease a donut pan. I use this donut pan.
- In a food processor, blend together all donut ingredients until smooth.
- Fill pastry bag with batter and carefully pipe it into the donut pan.
- Bake for 12-15 minutes until a inserted toothpick comes out clean.
- Let cool before turning over onto a cooling rack. Let cool completely before glazing.
- In a microwave-safe bowl, microwave chocolate chips and coconut oil for 30 seconds, stir, then microwave for another 30 seconds (or at intervals until melted) and whisk completely smooth. Let cool to thicken slightly before glazing donuts.
- Set the cooling rack with the donuts over a baking sheet. Pour glaze over donuts. Sprinkle with flaky sea salt.
