Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1.5 cups almond flour
- 2 tablespoons coconut flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder (grain-free)
- 0.5 teaspoon cinnamon
- 0.25 teaspoon sea salt
- 3 large eggs
- 0.25 cup coconut oil, melted
- 0.25 cup pure maple syrup
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 0.25 cup unsweetened almond milk
- 0.25 cup pure maple syrup (for glaze)
- 0.25 cup coconut butter
- 0.5 teaspoon vanilla extract (for glaze)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and lightly grease a donut pan with coconut oil.
In a large mixing bowl, combine almond flour, coconut flour, baking powder, cinnamon, and sea salt. Mix well to ensure no lumps remain.
In a separate medium-sized bowl, whisk together the eggs, melted coconut oil, maple syrup, vanilla extract, and almond milk until fully blended.
Gradually add the wet ingredients to the flour mixture, stirring gently until the batter is smooth and well combined.
Spoon or pipe the batter into the prepared donut pan, filling each mold about 3/4 full.
Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the donuts are golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Remove from oven and allow to cool in the pan for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
For the glaze, gently heat the maple syrup and coconut butter in a small saucepan over low heat, stirring occasionally until smooth. Stir in the vanilla extract.
Once the donuts are cool, dip the tops in the warm glaze, allowing any excess to drip back into the saucepan.
Place the glazed donuts back on the wire rack to set, or serve immediately if you prefer a warm glaze.
