Healthy Donuts Glazed with Easy Date Caramel Sauce

These donuts are very healthy as they are only sweetened with dates. I try not to use refined sugar in my recipes and I find that dates work really well most of the time.

To make the caramel sauce, I used dates, coconut milk, maple syrup and peanut butter to give it this nice golden caramel color. Again, simply place all the ingredients in a high-speed blender and blend until smooth.

Now it’s time to dip your donuts in the sauce and take a bite!

    I just made these today – So good!! I used regular flour and instead of coconut milk, I used the Silk Coffee Creamer and it still turned out really well! I had more than 6x donuts so the rest of the batter was good for 7x mini cupcakes 🙂 Thank you for sharing – A keeper!!
