- Making Donuts

- Use a spoon or a pastry bag to fill the greased silicone donut pan ** all the way leveled with the pan.
- Bake 15 - 17 minutes. Remove from the oven and let it cool for 5 - 10 minutes, then move the donuts to a cooling rack.
- Drizzle extra almond butter and chocolate chips on top if desired.
- Enjoy with a glass of homemade nut milk or some ice cream!
Notes
- * You can sub with peanut butter
- ** I recommend placing a baking pan underneath the silicone donut pan to make it easier to take in and out of the oven.
- If you prefer sweeter, add 2- 3 tablespoons of coconut sugar to the batter.
