Gluten and Grain Free Donuts

When it comes to baking,  I’m definitely not the best. I try, but I just get confused with all the ratios of gluten-free flours and the proper combination. And some times that delicious gluten-free cake I had in mind doesn’t look exactly the same way when it comes out of the oven. Hahaha!

BUT Today I had a vision – Nostradamus style

What if I make gluten free donuts without gluten free flour?!?

So guess what I used instead? – Sweet potatoes!

This treat is completely free of gluten, grain, refined sugars and soy! AND also guilt-free! – Lovely, isn’t it?

If you’re a chocolate lover, then my friend, you’re certainly in for a treat. Get those tastebuds ready and get cooking!

So without further ado scroll down to see the recipe.
