Raw Gluten-Free Cinnamon Donut Hole
Treat yourself to some donut holes!
Who doesn't love donuts? I know I do, that's for sure!
Ever since I discovered I had a gluten intolerance in 2009 (and most recently an egg and soy allergy), donut life hasn't been the same. The gluten-free versions of the oh-so-loved fried confectionery aren't exactly the most decadent. And, that goes for 99.9% of gluten-free dessert food. I've come to terms with it, and I'm totally cool with it.
Luckily, with a bit of inspiration from Lee From America and Shut The Yam Up, I created these RAW GLUTEN-FREE CINNAMON DONUT HOLES! These donut holes definitely cure the craving for those fried, gluten-laden sweet treats, and are way better for you.
But, just because they're packed with so many good-for-you, wholesome ingredients, it doesn't mean eat'em all!
These are still a treat. Eat in moderation!
What You'll Need
4 dates, pitted*
3/4 cup raw unsweetened shredded coconut + 1/4 cup for rolling
1/2 cup almond pulp or super fine almond flour (I used this brand)
2 tbsp coconut oil, melted
10 drops Sakara beauty drops (or I used this brand)
2 tsp maca powder (I used this brand)
1/2 tsp ground cinnamon
1/8 tsp vanilla bean powder
Pink Himalayan salt, to taste
What You'll Need To Know
In a food processor add the ingredients and process them together creating a dough-like consistency.
Roll into 1" size balls (I used a tablespoon spoon to scoop out) and roll in 1/4 cup shredded coconut.
Place on parchment or wax paper and place in the refrigerator until the dough sets. (Roughly 30-60 minutes)
Dates*soaked dates ahead of time to soften up. They will blend a lot better!
The recipe makes roughly 9 balls.
