Ingredients

Donuts

  • 2 C oats both rolled and quick cook oats work
  • 2 large ripe bananas
  • 2 eggs
  • 1 C apple sauce
  • 2 tbsp honey
  • 1 tsp baking soda
  • 1 tsp baking powder

  • 2 tbsp cocoa

Frosting

  • 1 tsp coconut oil
  • 1/2 C chocolate chips
  • mini chocolate chips, peanut butter chips, chopped walnuts for toppings

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 400° F
  • In a blender or food processor, blend together all of the ingredients for the donuts until the batter is smooth
  • Spray the donut pan and fill the molds with about 1/4 C of batter. Bake for 10-12 minutes
  • While the donuts are baking, add the chocolate chips and coconut oil to a microwave-safe bowl. Microwave and stir in 30-second intervals until the chocolate is completely melted and is incorporated with the oil, making a smooth frosting
  • When the donuts are cooled enough to pop out of the pan and be handled, dip them into the melted chocolate. Top with chocolate chips, peanut butter chips, or chopped pecans.

Notes

To make a peanut butter frosting, melt 1/4 C peanut butter with 1 tsp coconut oil for 30 seconds in the microwave and mix until well combined and smooth. Dip the donuts in the frosting while warm.
