Ingredients
- 2 cups whole wheat flour
- 1 1/2 tsp salt
- 1 tsp baking powder
- 1/2 cup maple syrup
- 6 tbsp dark cocoa powder
- 1 1/2 tsp baking soda
- 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 1/2 cup white sugar
- 3 eggs
- 1/2 cup coconut oil
- 2 cups grated zucchini
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup brown sugar
Topping:
- 1/2 cup white chocolate chips
- 4 tbsp maple syrup
Instructions
- In a medium bowl, use a fork to blend the dry ingredients together.
- In a larger bowl, beat together the white sugar, brown sugar, eggs, vanilla extract, coconut oil, maple syrup, and grated zucchini using a mixer.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture until a smooth batter forms.
- Spoon the batter into a greased and floured donut pan, filling each cavity about three-quarters full.
- Bake in a preheated oven at 350°F for 10-12 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the thickest part comes out clean. Be careful not to overbake to avoid dryness.
- Once baked, remove the donuts from the oven and transfer them to a cooling rack.
- For the glaze topping, melt the white chocolate chips in a glass measuring cup in the microwave, using 30-second intervals and stirring between each until fully melted (approximately 1 minute). Stir in the maple syrup, then drizzle over each donut.
- Add sprinkles immediately if desired, so they adhere to the glaze. For a thicker icing suitable for piping, use less maple syrup.
