Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups almond flour
- 0.25 cup coconut flour
- 0.5 teaspoons baking soda
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 0.25 teaspoon sea salt
- 3 eggs
- 0.5 cup coconut milk (full fat)
- 0.25 cup maple syrup
- 0.25 cup melted coconut oil
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 0.5 cup coconut sugar
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon (for topping)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and lightly grease a donut pan with coconut oil.
In a large bowl, whisk together almond flour, coconut flour, baking soda, ground cinnamon, and sea salt.
In a separate medium bowl, whisk the eggs, coconut milk, maple syrup, melted coconut oil, and vanilla extract until well combined.
Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, stirring until you have a smooth batter.
Carefully spoon or pipe the batter into the prepared donut pan, filling each cavity about two-thirds full to allow room for the donuts to rise.
Bake in the preheated oven for about 18-20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into a donut comes out clean.
While the donuts are baking, mix the coconut sugar and the additional teaspoon of ground cinnamon in a small bowl for the topping.
Allow the donuts to cool in the pan for about 5 minutes, then carefully remove them and place on a cooling rack.
While the donuts are still warm (but not hot), gently dip each donut into the cinnamon sugar mixture, coating all sides.
Let the donuts cool completely or enjoy them warm for a softer texture. Serve immediately or store in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
