Christmas is getting ever closer so this gingerbread chocolate doughnut recipe is perfect for the upcoming festive season.
This gingerbread chocolate doughnut recipe is so easy and will make your whole house smell like Christmas thanks to the fragrant spices of ginger, cinnamon, nutmeg and cloves. Mind you, you don’t have to eat these only at Christmas time, I personally love these anytime of the year, but most of all as a wintertime breakfast recipe! Let’s not forget to mention that these doughnuts are baked, not fried, so you can eat more and still stay healthy.
Just a couple of notes before we get to the recipe. I’ve used both almond and cashew nut butter and both work well. However, you can use peanut butter or any other nut butter. If you have a nut allergy, swap it out for pumpkin nut butter or tahini. Just remember to add a touch more sugar because seed butters have a slightly bitter and earthy taste.
Here's the gingerbread chocolate doughnut recipe
