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, mix the almond flour, coconut flour, pumpkin pie spice, baking soda, and salt together.
- In another bowl, whisk the eggs, melted coconut oil (or butter), maple syrup, coconut sugar (or brown sugar), pumpkin puree, and vanilla extract until combined.
- Combine the dry ingredients with the wet ingredients, stirring gently until just mixed together.
- Distribute the batter evenly among the muffin liners, filling them almost to the top. You may have enough batter for six additional donut holes.
- Bake for 11-13 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean when inserted into the center. Cool completely on a wire rack, allowing at least an hour before serving for optimal taste and texture.
- To serve, mix the cinnamon with the sugar in a small bowl. Carefully remove the liners and roll the donut holes in the cinnamon sugar mixture. It’s best to do this no more than 8 hours before serving to prevent liquification of the sugar.
- Store the donut holes in an airtight container for up to 2 days.
Notes
These donut holes taste best after letting them rest for at least an hour after baking.
For a sweeter flavor, feel free to adjust the amount of coconut sugar used in the rolling mixture.
Store leftovers in an airtight container to maintain freshness.
