Triple Coconut Chocolate Donuts (GF and Paleo!)

Coconut flour, coconut oil, and coconut butter make these coconut chocolate donuts triple the treat! Naturally sweetened and grain free makes these the perfect Halloween sweet!

Thanks to Artisana Organics for sending product for me to create this recipe. As always, all thoughts and opinions are my own!

Because life is better with donuts. Always.

I’ve never been a crazy donut person. I mean I’ve always liked them, but never really sought them out. My dad was a crazy donut person. Specifically mini donuts. The kind you buy from the fair that come out piping hot and are drowning in cinnamon sugar. Those were the best, and so was he <3

Chicago has an incredible donut scene. Between Stan’s, Do-rite (my personal fave), Glazed and Infused, and Doughnut Vault, there are a lot of options.

But since my Celiac diagnosis (RIP former donut indulging life), I haven’t loved any of the GF donuts I’ve tried.

Instead, I decided to make the best damn paleo donuts possible and these triple coconut chocolate donuts are it!

These beauties were born out of my love for coconut butter – specifically Artisana Organics Coconut Butter.

Coconut butter, for those who don’t know, is very similar to a nut butter, except it’s coconut! It is truly just coconut meat that was in a food processor to the point that it becomes a nut butter consistency.

Also, for those who don’t know, coconut butter tastes like heaven on earth and there is nothing that I want more than a scoop of coconut butter for dessert… or in my smoothies… or in my coffee… or ever. #truelove

And when combined with almond milk and a little maple syrup, it creates the most perfect glaze. HUBBA HUBBA.

The triple coconut in this recipe comes from coconut flour, coconut oil, and of course Artisana Organics coconut butter. But let me tell you a secret. Pat doesn’t like coconut (A sin! I know.) and he de-VOURED these donuts.

So if you’re in the same boat, make sure you give these a try! They are super yummy, made from all real ingredients, and so simple to make!
