Ingredients
Scale
- 3/4 cup (75 grams) finely ground blanched almond flour
- 1/2 cup (66 grams) coconut flour
- 3 1/2 teaspoons pumpkin pie spice
- 1 1/4 teaspoons baking soda
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 4 large eggs 50 grams each out of shell, room temperature
- 7 tablespoons (98 grams) refined coconut oil or unsalted butter, melted
- 1/2 cup (120 ml) maple syrup
- 2 tablespoons coconut sugar or brown sugar
- 1/2 cup (120 grams) canned pumpkin puree
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 1/3 cup (67 grams) coconut sugar or granulated sugar
- 1 1/2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350 °F and line a mini muffin pan with 24 muffin liners.
- In a large bowl, combine the dry ingredients: almond flour, coconut flour, pumpkin pie spice, baking soda, and salt.
- In another medium bowl, whisk the wet ingredients: eggs, melted coconut oil or butter, maple syrup, coconut sugar, pumpkin puree, and vanilla extract.
- Combine the dry mixture into the wet mixture and stir until just blended.
- Evenly fill each muffin liner with the batter, leaving a little space at the top. You may have extra batter for six more holes.
- Bake for 11-13 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Allow cooling on a wire rack for at least one hour before serving.
- To serve, mix the ground cinnamon with sugar in a small bowl. Remove the muffin liners and roll each donut hole in the cinnamon sugar mixture. For best results, roll the donut holes in sugar no more than 8 hours before serving as they retain moisture.
- Store in an airtight container for up to 2 days.
Notes
Make sure the ingredients are at room temperature for better batter consistency.
For a sweeter flavor, adjust the amounts of coconut sugar or brown sugar to taste.
These donut holes are best enjoyed fresh but can be stored for a short period.
