Process

Note, these instructions are written assuming the standard serving size, since you have modified the number of servings, these steps may need to be modified for best results

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.
Grease donut pan then set aside.
To make the donuts, combine the flour, carob powder, banana, honey and vanilla extract in a large mixing bowl until smooth.
Spoon the batter into donut pan or pipe into pan using a plastic bag. Then place in the oven for about 12 minutes.
Remove from the oven, place the donuts on a wire rack and let cool.
While the donuts are cooling, make the glaze. To make the AIP Berry Glaze, combine the maple syrup, coconut butter, juice in a bowl and heat in the microwave for 30 seconds. Stir until combined. If you’re using the Coconut Free Berry Glaze, combine the powdered sugar, juice and vanilla extract. Stir until combined.
Drizzle the glaze over the donuts, then immediately sprinkle the freeze dried strawberries over the wet glaze. Serve.

Notes

Cocoa powder is a good substitute for cacao powder. // Carob is a good substitute for cacao if you are AIP elimination stage. // If you prefer vanilla powder to vanilla extract, you only need 1/2 teaspoon and add with the dry ingredients.
