Almond & Dark Chocolate Glazed Baked Donuts



This recipe is so easy & simple! These donuts are low fat, gluten free, grain free, and low carb.
The donuts will keep in the fridge or at room temperature for 3-4 days stored in an airtight container. You can have them plain or with the chocolate topping. This recipe makes 8-10 donuts.

You need a good doughnut pan to make any baked doughnuts! I got mine from Mighty Ape (check this link - they're only $17).


DONUTS

Ingredients

1 cup (100g) almond meal/flour
3 tablespoons (65g) honey (or maple syrup/agave)
2 large eggs (100g)
2 teaspoons vanilla extract (optional)
1/4 teaspoon baking soda 

Method 

1. Preheat your oven to 150C.

2. Grease your donut pan and set aside. 

3. In a medium mixing bowl, mix together all of your ingredients until smooth.

4. Fill your donut pans with your mixture, filling each donut cavity 1/2 way full.

5. Bake for 10-15 minutes, keeping an eye on them and taking them out as soon as your donuts are cooked and a skewer inserted into the middle removes clean. Be sure not to overcook them as they'll dry out!

6. Allow to cool before removing from the tins and eating as is or topping with the dark chocolate topping. 

DARK CHOCOLATE GLAZE

Ingredients

¼ cup dark chocolate, chopped and melted
1½ teaspoons coconut oil, melted
1 teaspoon raw honey

Method

1. Whisk all of the ingredients in a shallow bowl until smooth.  

2. Dip the top of each donut in the chocolate then gently rotate the donut to let the excess glaze drip off. 

3. Turn right-side up and place back on the cooling rack. Let set for 5 minutes, then refrigerate for 15 minutes until the glaze has hardened.

Enjoy x

Massaman Fish Curry

I found this single-serve Fish Curry recipe on the I Quit Sugar blog and knew i had to make it! It is filled with lots of fresh veggies and only takes 30 minutes to cook, which makes this dish the perfect mid-week recipe.  I've just used the veggies i had in my fridge, you can add in any veggies you like.  Note: if using store brought massaman curry paste (or any curry paste for that matter) make sure you read the list of ingredients because they can be full of oil and sugar.  If the first ingredient is oil, then don't buy it, the first ingredient should be a flavour like onion, chilli or lemongrass. Also try to avoid pastes that use palm oil.  Ingredients 1 tablespoon peanut oil 1/4 onion (thinly sliced) 1/2  capsicum/pepper (thinly sliced) 1/2 carrot (thinly sliced - lengthwise) 1 tin (165ml) coconut milk 2 tablespoons massaman curry paste The juice from 1/2 a lime 2-3 drops fish sauce 150 g white-fleshed fish fillet, 1 cup of frozen peas  1 t
