After drooling over everyones gorgeously delicious looking donuts for months, i fiiiianllyy got around to baking up a batch!

yay!

Coconuty Donut Holes
makes 9
{adapted from tropical traditions}

- 1/4 cup extra virgin coconut butter [softened but not melted]
- 1/4 cup agave nectar 
- 1/2 t pure vanilla extract
- 1/8 teaspoon sea salt
- 1 room temperature egg
- 5 T coconut flour

- optional additions: coconut flakes, cocoa powder, powdered sugar, cinnamon sugar

 Preheat oven to 350F.
In a bowl cream together coconut butter, agave, vanilla extract, and salt.  Add in whisked egg and mix to combine.
Next, add coconut flour and stir until it all comes together.  
Let dough sit for a minute to allow everything to absorb.
Meanwhile, spray a baking dish with coconut oil cooking spray (or spray of choice).
Using a teaspoon, scoop out dough and roll into balls and place in baking dish.

The donut holes do not rise or spread so it is okay to place them close to one another.

Bake for 16-19 mins or until donut holes are a golden brown.

Allow donut holes to cool before rolling them in coconut flakes, cocoa powder, powdered sugar, or cinnamon sugar.

I rolled half of my donut holes in a cocoa powder + cinnamon combination and kept the others plain.  I think a coconut flake + cocoa powder combo would be quite delicious as well.

The end result is deliciously dense yet light, and not too overwhelmingly sweet [although its very easy to make it sweeter if preferred].

Of course, it’s not the same as a munchkin from dunkin donuts, but its more nutritionally friendly. and still delish

And since my oven was on…

I figured I may as well bake up those lavash chips i was talking about the other day.

I just cut up one sheet of lavash into little rectangles and baked them on the bottom rack [since the donut holes were in the center rack] for 10 mins at 350F and they were crispy, golden, and ready.

They’re already deliciously crunchy on their own, but they also taste great dipped in guacamole or hummus, or even topped with refried beans (which seems to have become a favorite of mine recently).

And you see all those chips up there?
Just 100 calories total.
A great snack!

Happy Baking! : )

Do you ever bake with coconut flour?
This was my first time using coconut flour, and omg, it smells amazinggg! It’s also delicious.

If yes, what else do you use it for?
