Ingredients Method

Ingredients

  

• ½ cup almond flour
• 5 tablespoon coconut flour
• ¼ cup tapioca flour
• 1 egg
• 2 tablespoon honey
• 2 tablespoon lemon juice
• ¼ cup coconut oil melted
• ¼ teaspoon baking powder
• ¼ teaspoon baking soda
• zest of ½ lemon

For a paleo-friendly glaze:

• ¼ cup coconut butter melted
• 3 tablespoon maple syrup

For a regular glaze (not paleo!):

• ½ cup powdered sugar
• water to thin

Method

 

1. Preheat oven to 400℉ and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. In a bowl, mix together all of the donut hole ingredients until you have a dough. Fold in lemon zest. Let the dough sit for about 10 minutes to allow the coconut flour to absorb excess moisture.
3. Roll your dough into bite-size balls and place on your baking sheet. Bake for about 6-8 minutes and let cool.
4. Mix together your glaze of choice and dip each donut hole until completely coated. Top with optional additional lemon zest. Let harden and enjoy!
