Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1.5 cups almond flour
- 0.25 cup coconut flour
- 0.5 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 3 large eggs
- 0.25 cup maple syrup
- 0.25 cup coconut oil
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon apple cider vinegar
- 2 tablespoons coconut sugar
- 0.5 teaspoon additional 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 mixing bowl, combine the almond flour, coconut flour, baking soda, ground cinnamon, and salt. Stir well to mix the dry ingredients thoroughly.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the eggs, maple syrup, melted coconut oil, vanilla extract, and apple cider vinegar until well combined.
Slowly add the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, stirring until the batter is smooth and free of lumps.
Using a spoon or piping bag, evenly distribute the batter into the prepared donut pan, filling each cavity about two-thirds full.
Bake in the preheated oven for about 10-12 minutes, or until the donuts are lightly golden and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
While the donuts are baking, mix together the coconut sugar and additional ground cinnamon in a small bowl for the topping.
Once the donuts are done, allow them to cool in the pan for about 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack.
While the donuts are still warm, gently press the tops into the cinnamon sugar mixture to coat.
Serve the donuts warm or at room temperature. Enjoy your Paleo Old Fashioned Donuts!
