DOUGHNUTS

Alright y'all...

These. 

Make them and THANK me later!!!



Doughnut Ingredients: 

  • 4 eggs (preferably room temperature)
  • 1/2 cup almond milk (I suppose you could use coconut milk, but I did not)
  • 1/3 cup grade A maple syrup
  • 1/2 cup pumpkin puree (if using an actual pumpkin puree, non-canned, make sure it you take out the excess liquid)
  • 3 tablespoons melted coconut oil
  • 2 tablespoons almond butter
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 3/4 cup almond flour 
  • 1/4 cup coconut flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 2 teaspoon pumpkin spice
  • 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon (I used a slight more)
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
For the cinnamon "sugar" coating
  • Melted coconut oil (I used about 2 large tablespoons)
  • A handful of fine coconut sugar (about 1/4 cup). You do not need to do this but I blended the coconut sugar in a food processor to make it a finer crystal than how you purchase it
  • Cinnamon to "taste" (about 1 Tablespoon)

Directions:

  1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
  2. Beat eggs, Almond milk, maple syrup, pumpkin, coconut oil, almond butter and vanilla... Mix well. I used my kitchen aid, you could also use a hand mixer. Blend until smooth...
  3. Add the remaining ingredients and mix with a spatula until combine
  4. Spoon batter into well greased doughnut pan 
  5. Bake about 20 minutes (until a toothpick comes out clean)
  6. Let cool for 10ish minutes
  7. While you are waiting for it to cool... Combine the coconut sugar and cinnamon in a shallow dish
  8. Brush melted coconut oil all over the doughnut and then coat with with cinnamon and sugar mixture
  9. SERVE

Enjoy!

10 Years....

Mason, It is amazing how time passes by in the blink of an eye after you have kids…. It seems like just yesterday, yet this week, 10 years have passed since our life was turned upside down. The day our world took a turn we never saw coming. Each year leading up to the anniversary, I get anxious, emotional, sad, scared, and angry. I WISH 10 years later I felt differently. But I don’t. It almost feels just as raw as the day we were told…. This year. I am consciously recognizing what it is… MONDAY FEBRUARY 11 th ,2008. We sat in a room where a Doctor carefully articulated and explained to us about your special heart. There is one detail about this day I have seemed to forget in time. That is the name of the doctor who told us about our fate…. I could describe to you in details about anything else you might want to know, who was there, what we were wearing, what the Doctor himself looked like and the conversation we had. Yet his name, which used to be

Loaded Diaper?!?!?

Today's post title comes to you from the one and only Greg Garka... Thanks for the idea babe! As far as Mason is concernced today was another good day for our little man! We made our goal and got up and went on a total of three walks. The last walk of the night he spotted the “playroom” and was interested so we stopped and visited with our neighbors while he played. It was the highlight of the day. His appetite decreased today but that is to be expected since he hadn’t yet had a bowel movement (in 6 days)– however about 60 minutes ago things changed in that department and I am happy to report his bowels are working and back in action… During his echo he was again a crowd pleaser and was on his best behavior. The technician said that he was the best 3 year old she has done. It is so funny; he gets upset when something is about to happen and he doesn’t understand what. He tells us he is scared and then after we explain to him what they are going to do and that it won’t hurt –

Update 7/1

Mason is out of surgery!! Kelsey and I finally got some good news. Dr. McMullen told us the surgery went as expected with no surprises. He told us Mason's heart is "vigorous" and is doing well. Hearing that word was like music to my ears. We have not been able to see him yet, but we know it will be a tough sight to see. However, we are so thankful that God has kept His hand on our little boy and got him through the first step. The next 24-48 hours will be critical for Mason as he is still at risk for several issues to arise. We will keep you posted on his progress. Praise God for His protection on our son. Greg & Kelsey
