Paleo Chocolate Donuts

I used to love donuts when I was a little girl but completely cut them out of my diet when I began my health journey. The best thing about following a healthy lifestyle is that I get to recreate recipes and make them with a healthier twist. Unlike other alternatives to wheat flour, almond flour is moist, delicious, NUTRITIOUS, and easy to use! When it comes to baking with almond flour, the finer the grind, the better your baked goods will turn out. These paleo donuts are so delicious, enjoy!
