The cutest, little ice cream sandwich you ever saw

Yes, the title is a little gratuitous, but it really is so cute.  This tiny sandwich came about because Luke wanted donut holes, and I wanted him to have salmon and broccoli.  So, we settled in the middle, with this easy recipe for grain-free, dairy-free donuts (so Mom could eat them, too).  They popped out so perfectly, and then I noticed that a slice of frozen banana would fit just right, and voila!  Clean ice cream sandwich.  Tiny things make me happy.

Clean Donuts (makes 24 donut holes)

1/2 cup coconut flour

1/2 tsp baking powder

1/2 tsp sea salt

6 eggs

1 tsp pure vanilla extract

3/8 cup coconut oil (melted and cooled)

32-40 drops liquid stevia (or sweetener of choice: 1/2 cup honey, or 1/2 cup organic cane sugar)

Optional: add in chopped pecans, walnuts, chocolate chips…all would be yummy.

Note: I went light on the stevia (as compared to honey/sugar equivalent measurement), because if you overdo it, it can have a bitter aftertaste.  Also depends on brand – I used the Whole Foods generic brand.

Instructions

1. Preheat oven to 350 F.
2. Blend all dry ingredients together, work out lumps as much as you can.
3. Whisk together wet ingredients.
4. Combine dry and wet ingredients together and whisk until there are no more lumps.
5. Scoop into mini muffin tin with a mini-ice cream scoop.  This part is fun.
6. Bake for 15 minutes. Let cool completely.
7. Eat as is, or slice in half, spread on nut butter, and add a slice of frozen banana.  YUMMO.
