Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1.5 cups almond flour
- 0.25 cup coconut flour
- 0.5 teaspoons baking soda
- 0.25 teaspoons sea salt
- 3 large eggs
- 0.25 cup coconut oil
- 0.25 cup honey
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 0.5 cup coconut sugar
- 0.25 cup full-fat coconut milk
- 2 tablespoons ghee
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a donut pan with coconut oil.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the almond flour, coconut flour, baking soda, and sea salt. Stir to combine.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the eggs, melted coconut oil, honey, and vanilla extract until smooth.
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and mix until a smooth batter forms.
Spoon the batter into the greased donut pan, filling each cavity about 3/4 full.
Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the donuts are golden and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Allow the donuts to cool in the pan for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
To make the caramel topping, combine the coconut sugar, coconut milk, and ghee in a small saucepan over medium heat.
Stir constantly until the mixture reaches a boil, then reduce heat and simmer for about 5-8 minutes, or until it thickens and darkens slightly.
Remove from heat and let the caramel sauce cool for a few minutes.
Once the donuts are cooled, drizzle the caramel sauce over them.
Let the caramel set slightly before serving.
