What if you could have your donuts and eat them too? Now you can with these amazing Chocolate Paleo Donuts. They’re delicious and you don’t have to quit eating Paleo to enjoy them.
Let’s breakdown how awesome these donuts truly are. First, there’s the chocolatey goodness coming from all that natural cocoa powder and dairy-free white chocolate. Next, there’s the added sweetness of applesauce, raw honey, and vanilla that is absolutely delicious in taste.
One of the great things about these donuts is that they’re light yet filling. It’s a great way to utilize coconut oil, which has a ton of health benefits like better skin care and brain health. The fact that you can eat donuts while still sticking to a healthy and clean lifestyle is a hack that’s totally worth making over and over again.
