Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and lightly grease a donut pan with coconut oil.
In a food processor or blender, grind the raw pistachios until they form a fine flour-like consistency.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground pistachios, almond flour, coconut flour, baking soda, ground cinnamon, and salt. Stir until well combined.
In a separate bowl, whisk the eggs together. Add the coconut milk, unsweetened applesauce, vanilla extract, and melted coconut oil to the eggs, mixing thoroughly.
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and mix until just combined, being careful not to overmix.
Fold in the chopped pistachios gently into the batter.
Spoon the batter into the prepared donut pan, filling each mold about 3/4 full.
Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, or until the donuts are set and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Allow the donuts to cool in the pan for about 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Serve the donuts as is, or with a light dusting of additional chopped pistachios for extra texture and flavor.
