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.
- Combine the dry ingredients: almond flour, coconut flour, pumpkin pie spice, baking soda, and salt in a large bowl.
- In another bowl, mix the wet ingredients: eggs, melted coconut oil or butter, maple syrup, coconut sugar or brown sugar, pumpkin puree, and vanilla.
- Stir the dry ingredients into the wet mixture until just combined.
- Distribute the batter evenly into the muffin liners, filling each almost to the top. You should have enough for 6 more donut holes.
- Bake for 11-13 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean. Allow them to cool on a wire rack.
- Let the donut holes rest for at least an hour before serving to enhance taste and texture.
- To serve, mix cinnamon with sugar in a small bowl. Roll the cooled donut holes in the mixture. For best results, do this no more than 8 hours before serving as the sugar may liquefy if left too long.
Notes
These donut holes are best enjoyed fresh.
For a sweeter touch, adjust sugar levels in the cinnamon sugar coating.
Store in an airtight container for up to 2 days for optimal freshness.
