Coconut Sugar Cacao Baked Cassava Donuts
With the news this week, we were in need of a little homemade treat – these were perfect.
Check out the layer of coconut sugar on these! Spiced with cinnamon – it’s such a great combination.
The cacao flavor is subtle but the prefect combination with cinnamon, coconut sugar & maple syrup. They were moist, chewy & eaten within a few minutes.
My girls loved the butter & dipping part at the end. Such a good way to involve the kids in the kitchen.
I used Cassava Flour in this recipe.
3 facts about Cassava Flour.
Cassava Flour is Gluten, Grain and nut- free. YAY! It’s 100% Yucca & Water. It can be used in so many gluten free recipes.
It can boost a person’s gut health by helping nurture beneficial gut bacteria. Resistant starches remain relatively unchanged as they pass through the digestive tract.
Cassava is a good source of vitamin C, thiamine, riboflavin, and niacin.
I love Otto’s Naturals I’ve used it in all of my cassava flour recipes. AND I love Siete’s Cassava Flour Tortillas.
