Step One

Preheat oven to 350°F and prepare two donut pans.

Step Two

Prepare your flax eggs in a large bowl and allow to sit for a few minutes to gel. Next, add the maple syrup, applesauce, and almond milk and stir to combine.

Step Three

Sift in the oat flour, all-purpose flour, baking powder, and cacao powder and stir again to combine.

Step Four

Spray the donut pans with coconut oil spray or lightly grease with coconut oil. Add batter to fill each donut. Carefully shake the pan to distribute the batter evenly.

Step Five

Bake for 15 minutes, until firm to the touch.

Step Six

While the donuts are baking, prepare your chocolate hazelnut ganache. Add the Hazelnut Butter Chocolate Bars to a pan over medium low heat, stirring often until chocolate is fully melted. Transfer to a glass bowl and add almond milk. Whisk to combine and refrigerate until ready for use.

Step Seven

When the donuts are done, remove from the oven and allow to cool for 15-20 minutes until icing.

Step Eight

Remove the donuts from the pan, transfer to a wire cooling rack, and “frost” with chocolate hazelnut ganache.

Step Nine

Add an optional chocolate drizzle. Melt 1 chocolate bar over medium heat. Add a small amount of coconut oil if needed to thin out. With a spoon, drizzle melted chocolate over frosted donuts before serving.

Step Ten

Store leftovers in the fridge for 5-7 days .
