The Power of the Crunch
The idea for these donuts started the moment I opened a bag of Grandy Organics Coffee Crunch Coconola.
I have a confession to make. I love cereal. I'm talking take the box away from me before I devour it love.
From the first bite of this granola I was struck by the irresistible crunch. I knew it would make the perfect topping for a coffee cake.
Grandy Organics has a full line of granola, including their grain free Coconola varieties. Certified Gluten Free, coconut is the first ingredient and the base for their amazing flavors. Packed with organic ingredients like hazelnuts, pecans, and sunflower seeds, each bag packs maximum flavor and crunch.
Putting the Coconut in Gluten Free Coconut Granola Coffee Cake Donuts
Because coconut is the first ingredient in Grandy Organics Coconola, I wanted to play up that coconut flavor in these Gluten Free and Dairy Free donuts. Using both coconut milk and coconut extract, you get a burst of coconut in every bite.
Donuts are one of my favorite things to make. Not only are these healthier, but you have control of all of your ingredients and can play around with flavors, like this coffee cake crumble granola topping.
