Gluten-Free Chocolate Matcha-Glazed Donuts
We’re celebrating brighter days ahead with these gluten-free, dairy-free chocolate matcha-glazed donuts infused with Philosophie superfoods! These were created by Cheryl (@cherylshealthylife) using Cacao Magic. They're wonderfully light, packed with nutrients and fiber, and won't overwhelm your body with a crazy sugar rush!
Cacao is naturally energizing, as it contains a stimulant called theobromine that gradually releases energy throughout the day, instead of creating the same sort of energy spike as caffeine. And these little donuts are super easy to make—simply blend up all the ingredients, pour the batter into your donut iron, and you’re done! You'll have beautiful, superfood donuts that taste (& look!) delightful dressed up in a matcha glaze & tasty toppings!
