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 the 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 bowl, mix the wet ingredients: eggs, melted coconut oil or butter, maple syrup, coconut sugar or brown sugar, pumpkin puree, and vanilla extract.
- Combine the dry mixture with the wet mixture, stirring until just combined.
- Fill each muffin liner with the batter, almost to the top. You may have enough batter for an additional six donut holes.
- Bake for 11-13 minutes, or until a toothpick comes out clean. Allow to cool completely on a wire rack. They should rest for at least an hour before serving for optimal taste and texture.
- Mix cinnamon with sugar in a small bowl. Once cool, remove the liners and roll the donut holes in the cinnamon sugar. It’s best to roll them in the sugar no more than 8 hours before serving to avoid moisture issues.
- Store in an airtight container for up to 2 days.
Notes
Ensure the eggs are at room temperature for better mixing.
The donut holes can be stored for a couple of days, but for best taste, enjoy them fresh.
Roll in cinnamon sugar close to serving time to maintain texture.
