Whole Wheat Vegan Lemon Chia Berry Donuts

These are so good! And seriously satisfying if you love lemon poppy seed because these taste pretty darn close. These can also be muffins if you don't have a donut tray.

Serving size: This made 12 muffins and 6 mini muffins....

What you need:

• 2 cups flour (I like King Arthur's whole wheat)
• 3 tablespoons chia seeds
• 3/4 cup coconut sugar (I use Wholesome)
• 2 teaspoons baking powder
• 1 1/2 cups nut milk (I used almond)
• 1 teaspoon vanilla
• zest of one medium sized lemon
• 1 cup frozen berries

What you need to do:

1. Preheat your oven to 400
2. Grease your tray
3. Add all the dry ingredients first. Flour, chia seeds, coconut sugar, baking powder. Mix well
4. Next add in your milk, vanilla and lemon zest. Stir well then fold in frozen berries.
5. Be sure not to add too much donut mixture to your baking tray as these expand.
6. Bake 15 minutes or until tops are browned slightly.
7. Let cool for 10 minutes then enjoy!

Paleo Lemon Donuts

If you like sweets, and you like easy, then this recipe is for you! These took one bowl, minimal cleanup, hardly any time, but they DO NOT disappoint in taste! They're also paleo friendly, gluten free and refined sugar free. 

Serving size: 8 donuts, I added waaay too much batter so probably could make all 12. Not sure how many muffins this could make..12?

What you need:

• 1 tablespoon oil (I used Nutiva's coconut oil)
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 4 tablespoons maple syrup or honey (I used a mix of both, could sub agave for veg/vegan)
• 3 eggs (can sub flax eggs for veg/vegan)
• 1/2 cup milk (I used almond milk)
• 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
• lemon zest of 1/2 a fresh lemon
• 1/4 cup cassava flour (I used Otto's) 
• 1/2 cup coconut flour
• 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
• powdered sugar for sprinkling on top (I recommend Swerve's confectioners "sugar")

What you need to do:

1. Preheat oven to 350 ℉.
2. Mix together oil, vanilla, sticky sweetener, eggs, milk, lemon juice, lemon zest until combined.
3. Add in your cassava and coconut flour and baking soda
4. Grease up your donut/muffin tin
5. Fill halfway, as these rise quite a bit!
6. Bake for 20 minutes
7. Remove from oven and let sit
8. Sprinkle with powdered sugar
9. Enjoy!
