  • 1/3 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1/2 tsp baking soda
  • 1/2 tsp ground cinnamon
  • 1/8 tsp fine sea salt
  • 5 large eggs
  • 1/2 cup unsweetened almond milk (or hemp milk if nut free)
  • 1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter (or coconut oil if dairy-free), softened
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 350F. Grease a 6-cavity donut pan
  2. To make the donuts, combine all the dry ingredients in a mixing bowl and stir together until well combined. Add the wet ingredients to the bowl and use a hand mixer to combine until smooth.
  3. Fill each well of the donut pan two-thirds full with the batter. Bake for about 20 minutes, until a toothpick inserted in the center of a donut comes out clean. Let the donuts cool in the pan before glazing them.
  4. To make the glaze, place the coconut milk, sweetener, and chopped chocolate in a double boiler or a heat-safe bowl set over a pan of simmering water. Heat on low, stirring, just until the chocolate melts. Remove from the heat. Add the vanilla and stir well to combine. Dip the cooled donuts in the glaze.
  5. Store extras in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.

Focus on Health 

Best Defense is Health
It is clearly undisputed that the best preventative medicine is good health. People challenged us to add more to our weight loss program. The more they were asking about was simply more health. Not only what to eat more of, but what to consume less of. More about what we can drink, plant, buy, eat, or study to be healthier. We all want more out of life and we've found excellent tips, tricks, advice and even recipes to improve our lives. Everything we've found that makes sense to us has been small in nature. After all, by definition, if you're looking here for ideas then you're well ahead of the game. Small victories!
