    If you love carrot cake, you are going to LOVE these carrot cake donut holes! By now, I've made various flavors of these donut holes (funfetti, cinnamon sugar, classic glazed, chocolate, chocolate espresso, strawberry) and all are always a hit. I used super simple and healthy ingredients, and they taste wonderful. They're paleo, gluten-free, dairy-free, refined sugar-free, easy to make, and so delicious!

    Prep Time 5 minutes mins
    Cook Time 10 minutes mins
    Servings: 12 donut holes
    Course: Dessert, Donut, Snack
    Cuisine: American
    Ingredients Method

    Ingredients
      

    For the donut holes:
    • 1 egg
    • ¼ cup coconut oil melted
    • 2 tablespoon honey can sub maple syrup
    • splash of vanilla extract
    • ½ cup almond flour
    • 4 ½ tablespoon coconut flour
    • ¼ cup tapioca flour
    • ¼ teaspoon baking powder
    • ¼ teaspoon baking soda
    • ½-1 teaspoon cinnamon (depends how strong you want the cinnamon flavor! I did closer to 1 tsp)
    • ¼ teaspoon ground nutmeg
    • ½ cup shredded carrots
    For the glaze (non-paleo version!)
    • ½ cup powdered sugar
    • 1-2 teaspoon water to thin
    For the paleo glaze:
    • ⅓ cup coconut butter melted
    • 3 tablespoon maple syrup

    Method
     

    1. Preheat oven to 400℉ and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
    2. In a bowl, combine the donut hole ingredients (except for the carrots) until you have a dough. Fold in the shredded carrots.
    3. Let the dough sit for 10 minutes to allow the coconut flour to soak up extra moisture. Scoop and roll the dough into about 12-14 donut holes and place on the prepared baking sheet.
    4. Bake the donut holes for about 8-10 minutes, or until they are turning golden brown. Let them cool completely before adding glaze.
    5. Mix up your glaze of choice and dip each donut hole until fully coated. Let harden and enjoy!

      I wanted to check and see if I could just use extra coconut flour if I didn't have any tapioca flour? Do you think it will change the consistency?
      Thanks!

      Hey Sami—would it be possible to sub an AP GF flour instead of the almond/coconut/tapioca? Any idea on how much to use if so? Thanks!

      I used arrowroot in place of tapioca, works great!
