Baked Donut Holes
I’ll start with the good news: if you’ve stumbled upon this post in search of a recipe for Refeed Day, you’ve come to the right place!
The bad news: with this recipe, 1 serving = 1 donut hole.
I know. I know. Let’s take a moment and weep together, shall we?
This recipe is adapted from the Fixate recipe available on Beachbody On Demand. I didn’t have gluten-free flour or mini muffin tins, so I made do with what I had on hand.
This recipe is the portion container equivalent of 1 supplemental yellow and should only be used for Refeed Days if following the 80 Day Obsession nutrition plan.
Otherwise, eat as many as your little heart desires. Then tell me about it so I can live vicariously through you.
