Ingredients
Donuts
Glaze
Instructions
  1. Preheat oven to 350F. Generously grease a donut pan with coconut oil (see notes for the one I use).
  2. In a food processor or blender combine all ingredients for donuts until smooth (the minced sweet potato gets blended raw with the other ingredients).
  3. Transfer batter to a pastry bag and pipe the batter into the donut pan.
  4. Bake on 350F for about 15-18 minutes until a toothpick when inserted comes out clean. Cool before spooning out of pan and cooling on a cooling rack.
  5. Melt ingredients for glaze over low heat in a double boiler. Remove as soon as coconut oil is melted and whisk until smooth. Allow to cool slightly to thicken before pouring over donuts.

    These look delicious: clearly I’m going to have to free up 30 minutes to make them this evening! I made the pumpkin donuts a few weeks ago (with a regular orange sweet potato) and they were so good, I had to send the recipe to my daughter with a couple donut pans! I’m not sure if I should be thanking you or blocking you from my inbox! ; )

    These look incredible and I’m going to make them for Thanksgiving weekend brunch! Any idea in weight in grams or ounces of sweet potato that you used? Thanks for sharing the recipe!

    I too am wondering about the quantity of sweet potato. There seems to be such a wide range of sizes in the grocery store. Is there perhaps a cup measurement that you can share?

    I’ve got everything I need and will wing it for my first batch. Your recipes have always turned out well for me!

    Hi! Is it critical to use BOTH arrowroot flour AND coconut flour? If it’s possible to sub 2 tablespoons of one for the other, which do you recommend? Thanks!

    So I’m interested in making these but don’t understand about the donut pan you have to get a particular pan that makes donuts? I wasn’t clear how it’s done? Is there a way to do it maybe just using muffin tins what can I put in the middle of each indentation for the hole?

    I tried doing the donuts and they look as good and smell very yummy, for the glaze I had a hard time so i had to modify the recipe to get it right.

    Kaylie, can you give me the weight for the sweet potato? Did not find a small one at the market si I tried to calculate but don’t know if I am right. For tge glaze in your video you use cocoa powder and maple syrup and in the written version you use chocolate chips? One better than the other?
    I aporeciate your assistance.

    I just made this! To be honest I was VERY surprised how delicious this was it taste just like a chocolate lava cake. I did substitute arrow root for 2tsp cornstarch and filled my cupcake pan half full and they came out perfect! Definitely saving this recipe.

    Hey Kaylie,
    I am so excited to make these decadent looking donuts!
    I have a question though. What are your thoughts if I use Almond flour in place of the Coconut flour?

    I was wondering if I can omiit the coconut sugar in this recipe. I noticed in your video that you didn’t put in the coconut sugar so I am a bit confused. I really want to make these donuts, they look so amazingly chocolaty!

    This recipe is certainly a keeper!
    My whole family loved it, even though only my sister is on the Paleo diet.
    I did add an extra 1/4 tsp of baking powder, and they rose beautifully and were very light and fluffy. They had a delicious chocolate flavor and were super moist! I did use raw cacao powder instead of cocoa and they were amazing.
    Thank-you so much!!

    Can I use another type of oil besides coconut oil? I’d think the nutrition profile might get a bit less saturated fatty if I used, say, avocado oil?

    The first time we made it was absolutely perfect and delicious! Love the recipe so much we made it again in a few days.
    This time I could tell the mix was very wet. That’s when I realized the sweet potato was bigger than the first time I made it. It was too late to extract some of the sweet potato fr the mix. So I added ingredients. (Added 1T rice flour,1T garbanzo flour, extra egg) It still taste good, but didn’t bake well. Too moist. Also didn’t rise like the first time.
    PLEASE give us the proper size of the sweet potato by weight so we can make your donuts again and again and again perfectly!!
    Thank you!

    I Googled ‘small sweet potato’ and it showed 6 oz as the weight, so used that much of my potato and the recipe worked well. Noticed you left yours unpeeled in the video, so I did as well. More fiber. Thanks for a great recipe.
