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!
