Baked St. Patrick's Day Paleo Gluten Free Donuts

Happy almost St. Patrick's day! Even though I really don't care about this holiday, I had to make some green donuts! These have 2 cups of spinach packed into them too, so they're a healthy dessert.

• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• *Extras* I topped mine with Enjoy Life's mini (dairy, gluten, soy, everything free) chocolate chips and unsweetened coconut flakes. can also make a frosting with powdered sugar and water!

What you need to do:

1. Preheat over to 375
2. Grease a donut or muffin tray

7. Bake for 15-18 minutes or until tops start to brown slightly
8. Remove from oven and let sit 5-10 minutes to cool
9. Enjoy! These make your house smell AMAZING

Breakfast Yogurt Bowl

Here's another super easy, filling, healthy, delicious breakfast. Minimal sugar makes this a real winner if you're a refined sugar hater like myself. I made this when I was sick last week and it was perfect for one of those days. Can also be customized to your favorite yogurt, nut butter and dried fruit/trail mix blend!

Serving size: 1 bowl

What you need:

• 1/2 cup plain yogurt (I used Siggi's plain)
• 1 small spoonful nut butter (I used Nutty Novelties no salt added almond butter)
• 1/4 cup thawed, frozen berries (can use fresh!)
• sprinkling of Essential Living Food's Enlighten Trail mix which consists of pistachio's, coconut flakes and dried mango (any type of nut/seed/dried fruit trail mix will do)
• honey drizzle!

What you need to do:

1. I thawed my frozen berries in my yogurt the night before (thought I was gonna go to work sick as a dog! haha) that's how I got that great color swirl!
2. Spoon out your yogurt and top with berries, nut butter, trail mix and then drizzle that honey on.
3. Eat so fast cause it's delicious

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)

• 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!
