Back to school after the holiday break is always rough, but winter classes mean the possibility of snow days. For me, snow days are always about baking (or making pancakes) or both and I wanted to share a healthier version of doughnuts. These are made like muffins, but roll them in cinnamon sugar and yum… doughnuts!
Donut Ingredients
Makes 24 mini donuts holes
1 ½ cups almond flour
½ tsp baking soda
1 tsp pumpkin pie spice
2 TBS coconut oil
2 TBS honey
2 large eggs
3/4 cup canned pumpkin
1 mashed banana
(I threw a handful of dark chocolate chips in my second batch because I had some to use!)
Mini muffin tin
Cinnamon Sugar (I used coconut sugar) for rolling
Pre-heat the oven to 325 degrees. In a mixing bowl combine almond flour, salt baking soda, and pumpkin pie spice then add the coconut oil, honey, eggs, pumpkin and banana until smooth.
Grease the mini-muffin pan (I used a tiny bit of coconut oil) and spoon in batter.
Bake at 325° for 15-20 minutes or until a tooth pick comes out clean.
Let cool, scoop out, then roll in cinnamon sugar.
Enjoy!

Happy holidays, Modern Mentees! What are you going to be up to? I’m excited to hang with my family, eat delicious food, catch up on sleep… and Netflix! I wanted to share today’s topic because it’s something I’m personally working on. I find, especially during the holidays, that we’re so so so busy and looking forward to lots of things that we totally forget the present moment. The present moment is so important because it’s really all we have! Check out today’s video to help you celebrate the average day.

There’s a big myth out there that most students love college right off the bat. If you’re still feeling iffy about the whole thing that’s totally normal. So many girls come home for the holidays freshman year feeling like they should have their friendships, classes, and relationships all figured out. That’s setting the bar way too high. Freshman year is a big transition. Check out the video to learn how to relax if you’re not in love with your college experience.

I don’t know about you, but by the time December rolls around, all I’m craving are my favorite holiday foods. Combine this with the school stress you might be facing, and your healthy routine flies out the window. In order to enter 2015 feeling awesome, we need to put a big emphasis on BALANCE. You can have it all, but not all at once! I want you to eat your holiday favorites, but make time for exercise. I want you to study for your exams, but face them without craziness. Here’s how to find balance during the crazy busy holiday season:
