Happy Valentine's Day!
If everything goes according to plan, The Frozen Moose yogurt store should be open today (keep your fingers crossed for me!). I wrote this quick post ahead of time in anticipation that I wouldn't have time to sleep or breathe anything but frozen yogurt but I still wanted to share a festive post. I couldn't stay away from you all!

Ingredients
  

For donuts

  • 1/4 cup oat flour (millet, brown rice or sorghum could be subbed)
  • 1/4 cup buckwheat flour (millet, brown rice, or sorghum could be subbed)
  • 1/4 cup flax meal
  • 1 Tbsp coconut flour (or could use 2 more Tbsp of oat or buckwheat flour)
  • 3-4 tbsp cacao or cocoa powder
  • 2 tsp baking powder
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 1/3 cup coconut palm sugar or sucanat
  • 1/4 cup Earth balance, or refined coconut oil (no coconut taste), melted (room temp)
  • 1 1/2 tsp pure vanilla extract
  • 1/2 cup red wine
  • 1/4 cup non-dairy milk (room temperature)

For chocolate glaze

  • 1/2 cup dairy-free dark chocolate bar, chopped or chocolate chips (I used Endangered Species 72% bar)
  • 2 tsp refined coconut oil (no taste) or all-vegetable shortening
  • Optional toppings
  • chocolate shavings or cacao nibs
  • 2 Tbsp fruit-sweetened strawberry or raspberry preserves (mixed with 1/2 Tbsp powdered sucanat and slightly thinned with 1 tsp of red wine, only add this prior to serving)

Instructions
 

  • Preheat oven to 350F. Grease donut pan and set aside.
  • Add all dry ingredients (flours through sugar) into a medium mixing and stir to combine. Add wet ingredients (earth balance/oil through wine) bowl and stir together gently.
  • Spoon batter into prepared donut pan and smooth with spatula or press down gently. Bake donuts at 350 F for about 15-16 minutes (should be moist but also cooked through).
  • Let cool in pan for at least 5 minutes before gently removing.
  • To prepare glaze, add chocolate and oil/shortening in a double broiler, stir often until chocolate is melted. Carefully dip tops of donuts into the melted chocolate, sprinkle/drizzle with other toppings if desired and enjoy!
