3. Add the eggs, vegan butter, honey, banana and vanilla extra to a medium bowl and combine using an electric mixer, about 1 minute.
4. In a separate bowl combine the oat flour, tapioca flour, baking soda, baking powder, and salt. Add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients and mix using the electric mixer until batter is smooth.
5. Using a large spoon, transfer the batter to the donut pan and fill until two-thirds full.

1. To melt the chocolate, fill the bottom of a saucepan with water, about 1 inch, and allow water to a simmer. Set a glass bowl in the mouth of the pot, making sure the water doesn't touch the bottom of the bowl.
2. Add the chocolate chips, and stir occasionally as it softens.
3. Once melted, remove from heat. Set aside and let cool.
4. Using a spatula, cover the tops of the donuts with the melted chocolate and decorate with shredded coconut.
