Paleo Donuts- Bacon Banana Almond Butter



Today the kids and I are going to the pumpkin patch with Mema and Papi, however I wanted to start this morning off with something different than the pancake batch I made and froze on Sunday for the kids breakfast for the week.

I searched paleo recipes on Pinterest and found this one:
Bacon Banana Almond Butter Donuts

Once again, I didn't want to leave the recipe as is, I needed to make it my own and it was a great success. The kids loved these donuts.

I gave them each 2 donuts and a banana and they gobbled them up. I have leftovers for Jack for the next few day and I know he will enjoy them since there's bacon in them. He doesn't have to feel bad about eating them either since they're paleo and healthier than a normal donut.

Ingredients

1/2 cup coconut flour
1/2 tsp. baking soda
1 tsp. cinnamon
1 tsp. pumpkin spice
1/2 cup almond butter
1 mashed banana
5 eggs, beaten
2 tbs. honey
1 tbs. maple extract
3 bacon slices, cooked and chopped
Frosting of Choice (Just use Almond Butter!)
 
Instructions: 
Combine the coconut flour, baking soda, and cinnamon.

With an electric mixer, cream the almond butter,  eggs, banana, maple extract, and honey. Slowly add the dry ingredients and beat until fluffy. Fold in the bacon bits.

 

Spoon batter into a greased donut pan (you can definitely use bacon grease in pan if you prefer, but I did not use any grease since I used my donut maker).

For donut pan: Bake at 325 degrees for 15-20 minutes or until a toothpick inserted comes out clean.
For donut maker: Spoon 2 tbs. batter into donut pan and cook according to packaging directions.

Spaghetti Squash with Southwest Chicken

Image
After years of cooking and sharing recipes, I have finally put together my blog site. Its been a long journey in cooking for friends and family. It wasn't until recently that I was given the confidence to actually create a blog and share everything I have learned and am still learning in the kitchen. I recently was given the opportunity to air on live tv with Good Day Sacramento.  It was quite the experience. Friends and family told me I was a natural on tv, but what they didn't see on tv was how extremely nervous me. My mom and my husband were there calming me down.  After each take, I would let out a big "Whew" and ask how I did.  Apparently my nervousness did not show when the camera was rolling. Thank Goodness! I would like to share the recipe of my dish on Good Day Sacramento with all of you. Spaghetti Squash is that ingredient that we all seem to forget about. It's amazing and very good for you to eat. I think when people look at a spaghetti squash, ...

Mommy's Yummy Lunch Salad

Image
I don't always have time to make a gourmet lunch for myself, but sometimes my kiddos nap around the perfect time and I am able to whip something yummy up. I try and eat healthy during the day because with all this baking I do, I could definitely just give into to the temptation to eat an entire batch of sweets, but luckily I have good self control and don't eat it all. Today I wanted to make myself a salad, but I wanted a little carbs too and luckily I had some quinoa I had cooked already and I could just throw it in the salad. It was a yummy salad and hit the spot. Ingredients: 4 assorted baby bell peppers, sliced 1 yellow onion, sliced 4 mushrooms, sliced 1 tbs olive oil 2 tbs balsamic vinegar 2 morning star vegan burger patties, cooked and cut into cubes (I like the black bean burgers best) 1 slice swiss cheese, cubed 1 head romaine lettuce, chopped 1/4 cup cooked quinoa Directions: In a large skillet, warm olive oil over medium heat. Add onions, mushrooms,...

Our Sourdough Adventure - The Skinny on a Starter.

Image
 To say I love bread would be an understatement. This year we decided on more than one occasion to take up the joy of undertaking the art of sourdough. Earlier in the year, my little starter went rancid because I forgot to feed my baby, but this time around, I am committed and I plan on keeping my starter for years.  This time around with my, or should I say our Sourdough Starter, because I wanted to teach my kids some life skills and what better way to teach them these amazing life skills, then with the art of making this amazing sourdough starter. It's fun too!!!! Nicholas was totally into it! He wanted to be the "SOURDOUGH MASTER" as he called it.  So, I let him join me in the kitchen for this fun little adventure. And it's been quite the adventure of feeding our little Sourdough Baby/babies... I'll get into the babies later... Just don't do what I did and go overboard. I had I think about 6 starters at once going. I didn't think it through. LOL I have ...
