Choc-Mint Grain-Free Donuts

We (as in Chris, lol) recently planted a new herb garden and it’s going gang-busters! We - including the kids - try to include the herbs in whatever we can. The other day I started making some grain-free donuts, and Poppy (10yo) came running in with a bunch of freshly picked mint. “Can we make the donuts choc-mint flavour Mum?” And so we did :)

Ingredients

• 3 eggs, separated
• ¼ tsp cream of tartar
• 100g almond meal

• 50g raw cacao powder

• ¼ tsp fine sea salt

• ¼ tsp bicarbonate of soda

• 1 tsp ground cinnamon

• 30g coconut oil

• 60g pure maple syrup

• Whisk/beat egg whites and cream of tartar in a mixing bowl until white a fluffy.
