Originally this was supposed to be for just donuts, but I could not find a donut tray anywhere in town so a normal muffin tin was used. Now I have claimed it as donut muffins! Well, it’s actually more of a donut texture but it looks flat like a muffin. Sometimes we just have to roll with it!
These are great for an afternoon treat or the kids lunch box – even a party as they look so deliciously naughty! They actually aren’t though! The trickery is real and I’m not ashamed to say that I love to fool small children into eating healthier! Mwahaha.
Have fun with the toppings too. I will give you a few idea’s but really it’s all about what you like and how creative you can get!
This recipe takes about 5-10 mins to prep, 10 mins to bake and is all done in a blender. Easy, quick and yum is how this EAT blog rolls.
These are G/F and D/F -depending on your topping.
What You Will Need
- 1 can of Black Beans – rinsed and drained
- 3 free range eggs

- 2 teaspoons of Coconut Flour
- 1 teaspoon of baking powder
- 1 teaspoon of Pure Vanilla Extract
- Pinch of Himalayan Salt
Icing
I used our Loving Earth Dark Chocolate, but most dark chocolate is fine (but make sure it is over 70% cocoa).
- 60 grams of Dark Chocolate
- 2 Tablespoons of Pure Maple Syrup
- 2 Tablespoons of Coconut Oil
How To
- Preheat the oven to 170°C and grease your baking tray.
- Place your wet ingredients into blender and blend until smooth.
- Add remaining ingredients to blender and continue to blend to they are smooth and combined well.
- Pour mixture into your tray and place it in the oven for 8-10 minutes OR until you can stab it with a knife and it comes out clean.
- Allow to cool before icing.
Icing
- Place all ingredients into a saucepan on low heat, continue to stir until melted and smooth.
- Ice your donut muffins!
Toppings!
Time to get creative!
