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, whisk together the wet ingredients: eggs, melted coconut oil or butter, maple syrup, coconut sugar or brown sugar, pumpkin puree, and vanilla extract.
- Pour the dry mixture into the wet mixture, stirring gently until just combined.
- Distribute the batter evenly into the muffin liners, filling each almost to the top. You may have enough for six more donut holes.
- Bake for 11-13 minutes until a toothpick inserted comes out clean. Let them cool on a wire rack completely and rest for at least an hour before serving.
- Before serving, mix cinnamon and sugar in a small bowl. Remove the liners and roll the donut holes in the cinnamon sugar. It's best to do this no more than 8 hours before serving to maintain the sugar's texture.
- Store in an airtight container for up to 2 days.
Notes
These donut holes are moist, so avoid rolling them in cinnamon sugar too early to prevent liquefaction.
You can substitute refined coconut oil with unsalted butter if preferred.
Ensure to rest the donut holes for the best flavor and texture.
