Baked Honey Whole Wheat Donuts

These are not Krispy Kremes! As yummy as they would taste, that would mean loading them with shortening, sugar, and white flour, and then frying them. These donuts are still light and sweet, but carry nutritional value instead of being nothing more than empty calories. If you don't have a donut pan, try using a muffin pan. They would still taste just as good. 
 
1/4 C Butter
1/4 C Coconut Oil
1 C Honey
2 Eggs
1 C Almond Milk
4 1/2 tsp Baking Powder
1/2 tsp Salt
1/2 tsp Nutmeg
2 Scoops Plant Based Protein Powder (If you leave this out, just increase flour by 1/2 cup)
2 1/2 C Whole Wheat Flour
 
Beat together butter, oil, and sugar. Add remaining ingredients and mix until well combined. Spoon into donut pan.
 

Bake @ 350 degrees for 15-18 minutes


Immediately enjoy hot with butter and cinnamon sugar. We make our cinnamon sugar with equal parts cinnamon and coconut sugar.

Dairy Free Fudge bars


It's finally warm around here, and my kids are demanding popsicles. Normally, I would have just bought a big bag of otter pops, but since artificially flavored sugar is now out I had to come up with a different solution. While I was in Oregon visiting family recently, my mom and I made some coconut milk ice cream and even though there was a division among everyone as far as who liked it and who didn't, I thought it was great, so I decided to try a popsicle version.

Puree in a food processor or blender...

1 Can full fat coconut milk
1/3 C. Almond milk
1/4 C. Cocoa powder
1/3 C. Coconut sugar

Pour the mixture into popsicle molds, pop them into the freezer for a few hours, and you are done!
