Well, I assure you that you never tried some donuts like these, because although they do not seem it, more than half of these donuts is vegetable, more specifically sweet potato, yes, they are 50% sweet potato, but you would never guess it since it does not feel !
These donuts are fluffy, moist, light, and do not have refined flour, and by this, I mean that the only flour that it has is coconut flour,

If you do not have a mold for donuts, you can make them in molds for muffins, and if you want them to have the shape of a donut you can make a small ball of aluminum foil and put it in the middle of the muffin mold, and you will have some pretty donuts with the proper hole in the center.
These donuts are gluten-free, refined sugar free and without refined flours, very simple to make, and an ideal option for those who miss eating a donut and have a healthy diet…THESE DONUTS ARE THE BOMB!

I love your recipes! But can i make it without any sugar? Or is the sugar necessary?
You can replace the sugar with more maple syrup or honey if you want.
How do u make it vegan? Or replace the eggs? Thankyou
Yes, you can replace the eggs with any egg substitute, go to the notes of the recipe to see which egg substitute is the one I use
This are, as you said, the bomb!! I made them
for a brunch I hosted using mini bundt cups in lieu of donut molds. They were sooooo amazing! The only problem I had was with the glaze. When I made it according to the recipe it came out gritty and lumpy. I removed it from the cakes and made it agin omitting the cacao powder and using 100% cacao chocolate (unsweetened). That did the trick! My guests LIVES them!

Hi Stephanie, makes me very happy that you liked the recipe, the trick with the glaze is that you should sieve the cacao to evit the lumps, thank you very much for the comment
