Directions

• Preheat oven to 350*F.
• Mix ingredients together in a mixing bowl in the order they are listed. You can use a stand mixer if youd like, or sift the coconut first before using, to help eliminate clumps.
• Adjust the chai spices to your liking, I like to increase the cinnamon and cloves a little bit. Above I linked to my most favorite place on earth to source organic herbs and spices, which is Mountain Rose Herbs, their prices are much less expensive then you will find in any grocery store.
• Grease DONUT PAN WELL. I use this magical wonderful Donut Pan (its the 5th one Ive tried and the BEST by far!)
• Spoon batter into donut pan, makes 9 to 10 large donuts.
• Bake donuts 15 to 18 minutes at 350*F, until thoroughly cooked, and a toothpick test comes out clean.
• You can then simply cover the donuts in a chai sugar (mix a few Tablespoons of granulated sweetener with some of the chai spices in a small bowl, then dip the donuts into add extra flavor.) Or you can use my nutmeg icing recipe below. I did both for the donuts pictured.
• Nutmeg Icing:
• If glazing the donuts, I recommend putting the donuts into the freezer for 15 minutes or so, while you make the glaze. You dont want to totally freeze the donuts, but just chill the outside so the glaze hardens upon contact.
• Gently heat coconut oil over a double boiler. (I take a small mixing bowl and place it over a small pan of 1 inch deep hot water.)
• If using a granulated sweetener like maple sugar, I recommend powdering it first in a coffee grinder.
• The trick is to just barely melt the coconut oil while mixing in the maple sugar. If you get the coconut oil to hot, you will have to let it cool (in the fridge) for a few minutes so that its luke warm when you spoon it over the donuts, for the most evenly applied glaze.
• I just spoon the glaze over the chilled donuts, and it slowly hardens from clear into a nice white glaze.
