- Add apple cider vinegar, eggs yolks and vanilla to the coconut oil/honey mixture.
- Add dry ingredients and stir until combined.
- Gently fold in egg whites until mixture is homogenous.
- Evenly distribute the batter between the 6 donut cavities. Smooth out the tops of each donut.
- Bake at 350 for 12-15 minutes or until the tops are set and golden brown.
- Allow donuts to cool in pan for 5-10 minutes, then transfer to a cooling rack to cool completely.
White Chocolate Glaze:
- While donuts are cooling, make the glaze.
- Melt coconut oil and cocoa butter together in the microwave or on the stove over medium heat.
- Stir until smooth and let cool for about 5 minutes.
- Add powdered sugar and stir until combined.
Putting it together:
- Pour glaze over cooled donuts and let stand at room temperature or in the refrigerator until hardened.
- Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days!
Notes
*This recipe makes enough glaze coat the donuts twice. If you want a classic, thin glaze, halve the glaze recipe and only apply one coat. If you'd like a thicker glaze, make the full recipe. Then glaze each donut once, let the glaze cool and harden, then apply a second coat!
**Regular white chocolate disks or a bar {not paleo} can be used in place of raw cocoa butter. Be sure to choose a variety that contains cocoa butter and does not contain corn syrup.
***Use this recipe to make your own paleo powdered sugar!
