Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup almond flour
- 2 tablespoons coconut flour
- 0.5 teaspoon baking soda
- 0.5 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 0.25 teaspoon sea salt
- 2 large eggs
- 0.25 cup coconut sugar
- 2 tablespoons coconut oil
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 0.25 cup coconut milk
- 0.5 cup coconut oil for frying
- 2 tablespoons for the glaze - honey
- 1 tablespoon for the glaze - coconut oil
- 0.5 teaspoon for the glaze - vanilla extract
Instructions
In a medium bowl, whisk together the almond flour, coconut flour, baking soda, cinnamon, and salt.
In a separate large bowl, beat the eggs and add in the coconut sugar, melted coconut oil, and vanilla extract. Mix well to combine.
Add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients and blend until a thick batter is formed.
Heat the coconut oil in a deep frying pan over medium heat.
Using a small cookie scoop or your hands, form small balls from the dough.
Once the oil is hot, carefully drop the dough balls into the oil, a few at a time, ensuring not to overcrowd the pan.
Fry the donut holes for about 2-3 minutes on each side, or until golden brown. Remove them with a slotted spoon and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.
For the glaze, in a small saucepan over low heat, combine honey, coconut oil, and vanilla extract. Stir until fully melted and homogeneous.
Dip each donut hole into the glaze, completely coating them. Place on a wire rack to let the glaze set.
Serve the glazed donut holes warm or allow them to cool completely.
