Donut Holes

rawmama, mine were really gooey but probably because i soaked my dried pineapple so it would process more easily. i don't think they actually taste like donut holes, but still a really good little sweet treat. i didn't dehyrdate mine - left them all gooey.

In what form is the dried pineapple measured? It's a little vague as-is - the stuff I bought is in discs.

I tried these this morning. My stuff turned out very dry and the coconut wouldn't stick to it. Rather than throw it out (it smells wonderful!) I added a mashed banana to the "dough", rolled the balls into coconut, mashed them down a bit (so they resemble little biscuits) and placed them on a dehydrator. They taste good as is but the dehydrator will make them stick together a bit better. I'm taking them to the office tomorrow (if they last that long).

Killer recipe. I was skeptical, but I made it exactly to spec and it came out tasting just like I'd hoped it would.

So yeah, i´ve made these twice now and I LOVE them. As raw almonds are pretty expensive and I doubled the recipe I used a combination of raw almonds, hazelnuts, sunflower seeds, pumpkin seeds and hazelnuts. So don´t be afraid to try them with other nuts/seeds. Also because organic dried pineapple was ridiculously expensive, I dried my own YAY and it was wonderful- I also ran out of dates and substituted about 1/4 with raisins. Although Istorz and MYnutritionist- you have to try these WITH pineapple or it´s not the same! Delectable yummies!

What does it mean by "one scraped vanilla bean"?

I had everything but the pineapple, so added raisins and it was great, thanks! A book you might want to consider is Paul Pitchford Healing with Whole Foods, Asian Traditions and Modern Nutrition.

I liked these a lot -- I used raisins instead of pineapple, and they tasted great -- not too sweet but very satisfying. Mine definitely didn't taste like donuts, but that was fine by me.

these were only okay, not very sweet,don't really taste like donuts

Thanks cc78 :)

We made these and the only donut holes we think they taste like are those cheap little coconut ones you buy in gas stations (pre-packaged)??? I actually liked it best when I only had a little of the almonds rolled into it and some of the coconut, more gooey :) Am I supposed to dehydrate these?

omg - i just tried these last night and they are incredible! i love ani phyo's recipes :)

Wow!! I wasn't expecting tham to actually taste like real donuts, but they totally do, I am in heaven!

My husband loved these too! I highly recommend her book. I have tried several of her cheeses and her sunflower bread. Great stuff and easy to prepare!
