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 a medium bowl, whisk together the wet ingredients: eggs, melted coconut oil or butter, maple syrup, coconut sugar or brown sugar, pumpkin puree, and vanilla extract.
- Gradually add the dry mixture to the wet mixture, stirring until just combined.
- Distribute the batter evenly into the muffin liners, filling them nearly to the top. You may have enough batter for six additional donut holes.
- Bake for 11-13 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Allow them to cool completely on a wire rack after removing from the oven.
- For serving, mix the ground cinnamon with sugar in a small bowl. Remove the liners and roll the donut holes in the cinnamon sugar. To maintain the texture, avoid rolling them too far in advance of serving.
- Store any leftovers in an airtight container for up to 2 days.
Notes
Make sure to let the donut holes rest for at least an hour before serving for the best texture.
For maximum freshness, roll in the cinnamon sugar no more than 8 hours before serving.
