Coffee doughnuts baked with coconut flour are a healthy way to start the day and get your caffeine kick!

One morning I had a hankering for a doughnut and a coffee so thought why don’t I combine the two? I was driving past Dunkin Donuts at the time, so that’s probably what put the idea into my heat. A coffee doughnut would make a great breakfast on the go whilst giving you that kick you need.

I must be careful with my caffeine intake as it will keep me up all night if I have any after 2pm. So, this is a breakfast treat for me. Unless I am up late trying to write up a recipe then I need all the help I can get. Especially when being interrupted by the mini zoo.

The donut mixture is a great recipe and if you are not too keen on coffee, have a play around with it and use another flavour instead of the coffee. Cocoa powder works well too. Baked donuts are a healthier alternative to the deep-fried ones. Well, let’s all be honest, it’s a type of cake baked into a donut shape tin! It’s a mind over matter approach!

The topping is a delicious cream cheese topping that I wanted to imitate an iced doughnut topping. But without the powdered sugar. I initially mixed all the topping ingredients together, but the mixture was too thick. So, I melted it in the microwave until it was between liquid and soft. Dunked the coffee doughnuts into the topping and voila! A shiny and tasty coffee topping too!
