Maple Glazed Paleo Mini Donuts

If you know me or ask anyone in my family they will all tell you that growing up I had a serious weakness for Donuts!!!  I could not pass up an opportunity to stop in a Dunkin Donuts or a Krispy Cream shop if I saw one.  So when I went 100% gluten free back in 2000 donuts and beer were the two most difficult things for me to give up and along my gluten free path I have come across some ok GF donuts but they were just ok so I thought what's the point in eating them, right?  If I'm going to cheat on a treat I want it to be amazing and a big bowl of GF Cinnamon Chex wins every time.  On to the next chapter of living my life 90 to 100% Paleo I have yet to even bother taking a bite into a donut until Cyrstal Oliphant brings these little mini gems into the gym last week.  OMG Paleo is right.  These little guys satisfied my longtime craving for donuts.  Shhhhh don't tell my boys because this momma didn't even share, bad mommy!  Maybe she will make another batch or two so you can pick them up at  your local Reebok CrossFit STT Box and my kids can partake this time.  Thank you Crystal for sharing your amazing recipe with us all.
