Coconut “Doughnut Holes”


VEGAN/PAELO/VEGETARIAN/DAIRY FREE/GLUTEN FREE/COCONUT OIL

I found the original recipe for this on Pinterest. The name for these was “coconut lemon melt-aways”, but thanks to my husband’s strange humor he convinced several of our paleo-eating friends to call them doughnut holes, because it annoyed me. Now it doesn’t annoy me and because I changed the recipe…by accident I’m ok with calling them doughnut holes now.

Normally when I “follow” a recipe I never follow it perfectly. I’ll add something extra and substitute something else. In this case I had not intentions of going off the recipe, but realized only on my third time making these I forgot a critical step. Turns out, the step wasn’t so critical because when I made them the correct way they didn’t taste as good.

The original recipe calls for coconut oil, and I forgot to add this the first two times. The coconut oil did make rolling the holes into balls a lot easier, but it tastes too greasy and took away from the rest of the flavors. I will only make these sans coconut oil from now on.

Ingredients & Recipe
Because I followed this recipe to the ‘t’ except for adding the coconut oil I suggest just going to the site for the recipe.

DON’T FORGET to FORGET the COCONUT OIL. J
