Cook Time 10 minutes
Servings: 12 donut holes
Course: Dessert, Donut, Snack
Cuisine: American

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:
  • 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!
