I made these Paleo Double Chocolate Baked Donut Recipe on a whim. I got this bagel/donut pan a while back and I have been obsessed with making round baked goods in it. As you can tell by my other bagel post that was very popular.
These were super easy and a crowd pleaser at my essential oils 101 class that I taught yesterday. The kids and parents loved these healthy grain free baked donuts. I would fry them in a healthy fat but not sure if they would hold up without the starch so into the oven they went.
