Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups almond flour
- 1 quarter cup tapioca starch
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 0.5 teaspoon sea salt
- 0.25 cup coconut oil, melted
- 0.33 cup honey
- 1 teaspoon apple cider vinegar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 3 large eggs
- 0.5 cup pistachios, finely chopped
- 0.25 cup unsweetened almond milk
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 12-cavity donut pan with a bit of coconut oil.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the almond flour, tapioca starch, baking soda, and sea salt.
In a separate mixing bowl, combine the melted coconut oil, honey, apple cider vinegar, and vanilla extract.
Add the eggs to the wet ingredients and whisk until smooth and well combined.
Gradually fold the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, stirring until just combined.
Slowly mix in the unsweetened almond milk until the batter is smooth and no lumps remain.
Gently fold in the chopped pistachios, being careful not to over-mix.
Spoon the batter evenly into the prepared donut pan, filling each cavity 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 the donuts from the oven and allow them to cool in the pan for about 5 minutes.
Carefully transfer the donuts to a wire rack to cool completely before serving.
