My Paleo Valentine

My friend, Kindra, is a paleoista and an amazing blogger.  With Valentine's Day around the corner, this is perfect timing.  I'm super grateful.  Thanks, friend!




My Paleo Valentine! 12 Chocolate Recipes to Melt Your Lover’s Heart!

Standard Warning: CHOCOLATE ON THE BRAIN!
Let’s talk Valentine’s Day, shall we? It’s about a week away, and since my hubby will be gone the 13th and 14th, we’ll be celebrating even earlier. Never too soon to be thinking of your one true love on a completely manufactured, made-up, marketing scheme of a holiday. All skepticism aside, I will be making him some fun goodies to take to the fire station to share. Here’s a few ideas I gathered that could all be thought of as Valentine treats, which dials down to “chocolate covered.”

Pumpkin Spice Donuts

My blogger friend at Write From The Farm inspired me to make donuts again.  Her recipe for bacon, butternut, pumpkin donuts looks awesome.  I will try it.  This time, though, I was working with limited time and wanted to make some donuts for the kids and my mom visiting from Texas.  Here's my variation on the recipe I found at Edible Harmony.


Ingredients:
½ cup pumpkin puree
½ cup of pitted dates (about 10 dates)
6 eggs

1/3 cup of softened coconut oil
1 tsp of vanilla extract
2 tablespoon pumpkin pie spice
½ cup of coconut flour
½ teaspoon baking soda
5 tablespoons coconut milk or raw whole milk

Glaze: (optional)
2 tablespoons softened coconut oil
2 tablespoons softened butter
1 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice
2 tablespoons raw honey

Directions:
• Preheat oven to 350 F.
• Using a food processor or blender, combine the pumpkin puree, dates, eggs, oil and spices until the dates are completely ground.
• Add the rest of the ingredients and run the food processor for a few more seconds
• Grease the donut pan and pour the batter into the molds
• Bake for about 25 minutes or until donuts are golden brown and a toothpick inserted in the middle comes out dry.
• Set on a cooling rack to cool then frost with the glaze.
