Valentine’s Day Donuts With White Chocolate Frosting

February 8, 2022 by Gina +

A fun and healthy treat!

These cute little Valentine’s day donuts with white chocolate frosting are the perfect healthier treat to whip up for friends, family, or yourself. Baked not fried and only a few ingredients make this a great little nibble.

Jump to Recip

Admittedly I am not a big Valentine’s day person, but I’m probably not alone in this sentiment. But with kiddos, I’ve gotten a little more into it. The best part is probably the flowers, I’m a sucker for a beautiful bouquet. And the treats. I try to maintain balance, and part of that is being able to enjoy treats from time to time. But holidays can really load on the sugar, which isn’t terrible, but having a healthy option is always nice.

So let’s talk about these Valentine’s Day Ingredients needed for the Thai-Inspired Chicken Salad

  • Napa cabbage, shredded. You could also use a full bag of pre shredded cabbage
  • Carrots
  • Bell pepper – red is the best in this salad
  • Cilantro
  • Green onion
  • 2 cooked chicken breasts, shredded
    • For the Dressing
  • Peanut butter
  • Rice vinegar
  • Tamari
  • Garlic
  • Honey
  • Sesame oil
  • Ginger – fresh but dried works in a pinch
  • Lime

How to make Chicken Tacos

  • Start by mixing the dry ingredients together in a bowl
  • In a larger bowl, whisk the wet ingredients.
  • Add the flour to the wet ingredients and stir until just combined.
  • Spoon into donut tin and bake

Why we love this recipe…

  • A hearty, filling salad
  • Full of tons of fresh vegetables to make you feel good and stay full.
  • Protein packed too!
  • Easy and makes plenty of leftovers if needed.

Tips for the Chicken Salad

  • Grind the oats as finely as possible. I find adding a several cups of oats helps the blades blend more finely.
  • This pan is great. It’s non stick and holds the perfect amount.
  • I love the white chocolate for the top but you could use just a little powdered sugar, regular chocolate, or whatever you like!
