Chocolate Raspberry Donuts
One of my absolute favorite combinations is chocolate and raspberries. I had this amazing idea to make some paleo-vegan Chocolate Raspberry Donuts and they truly are what dreams are made of! They have a soft fluffy texture and a creamy coconut butter based icing that is low in sugar and tastes fabulous! Not only do they taste amazing but they look absolutely gorgeous too! I definitely believe you can live a healthy balanced diet while enjoying donuts!
