These healthy no sugar added donuts are the perfect snack, dessert or even breakfast!
I’ve been on a mission to top my first doughnut recipe ever since I made it a few months back. You know, the Vegan Blender Chocolate Hazelnut Donuts. The ones that are all sorts of life changing.
Since then I’ve made Healthy Pumpkin Spice Maple Donuts (V, GF) , Chocolate Pumpkin Spice Donuts and now these glorious ones…
I think my work here is done.
Just Kidding!
It’s never going to be done. Making doughnut recipes are just way too much fun. Actually, making all these recipes are too much fun.
There is something to be said about doing something you love every single day. Creating recipes and typing up blog posts. More importantly, interacting with people who I would never in a million years be able to if it wasn’t for the interwebz…. yeah, it’s pretty dang fulfilling.
Happiness has an odd way of filling cracks that you never knew you had. I won’t get on my soapbox but if you haven’t done something that makes you happy today, what are you waiting for?
PSSSST
In case you are wondering, these donuts will make you happy. Pinky promise.
They were made with zero added sugars, grains and oils. I used heavenly creamy tahini which gives them a flavor profile like none other. Words for the wise… not all tahini brands are created equally! I like to use Soom tahini ( I love it so much it’s on my Pantry Staples Page).
I’d be doing a disservice to the dates if I didn’t give them a mention. They practically melt into little balls of caramel like bites throughout each doughnut.
Honestly, I’ve talked enough. If you want to add a little happy into your life… these doughnuts will do the trick!
