Recipe type: Breakfast
Cuisine: gluten-free, dairy-free
Serves: 12 donuts
Ingredients
  • 2 cups oat flour (use certified gluten free if you need to be sure it's gluten free)
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • ½ teaspoon pink himalayan salt
  • 1 teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • ¼ teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • ½ cup maple syrup
  • 2 large eggs
  • ¾ cup coconut milk (or any other milk)
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla
  • 1 pear, peeled and finely chopped (I chopped to about ¼" cubes)
  • 2 cups dark chocolate chips (ghiradelli or enjoy life brands work well)
  • 2 tablespoons coconut oil (or more if needed for desired glaze consistency)
Instructions
  1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
  2. Grease a donut pan and set aside.
  3. Whisk together oat flour, baking powder, salt, nutmeg and cinnamon in a large bowl.
  4. In another bowl, beat the syrup, eggs, coconut milk and vanilla together.
  5. Make a well in the dry ingredients and pour wet into dry. Mix until combined.
  6. Stir in diced pears.
  7. Pour batter into donut pan filling each cavity ¾ full. I use a liquid measuring cup to accurately pour the batter into the pan.
  8. Bake for 20 minutes. Let cool in pan for 5 minutes and then turn onto cooling rack to finish cooling.
  9. Prepare glaze while donuts are cooling. Melt chocolate chips either in double boiler or use microwave for 30 second intervals at half power being careful not to scorch chocolate. Once chips are melted, stir in coconut oil.
  10. Dip tops of donuts in chocolate glaze once fully cooled. Let sit until chocolate is firm. You can also put the tray of dipped donuts in a refrigerator to let chocolate set faster.
Notes
If you don't have oat flour, you can easily make it by pulsing rolled oats in a food processor or a blender until it resembles a rough flour.

These also freeze well for future easy breakfasts!
