Preheat your oven to 350Β°F (175Β°C) and lightly grease a doughnut pan with coconut oil.
In a small saucepan, bring the apple cider to a boil. Reduce the heat and let it simmer until the volume is reduced to about half (120 ml). This should take around 10-15 minutes. Set aside to cool.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together almond flour, coconut flour, baking soda, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt.
In another bowl, beat the eggs. Mix in the cooled apple cider reduction, maple syrup, vanilla extract, and melted coconut oil until well combined.
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and mix until just combined.
Spoon the batter into the prepared doughnut pan, filling each well about 3/4 full.
Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the doughnuts comes out clean.
Allow the doughnuts to cool in the pan for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Optional: For extra flavor, brush the top of cooled doughnuts with a little more melted coconut oil and sprinkle with a mixture of cinnamon and coconut sugar.
