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 separate medium bowl, whisk together the wet ingredients: eggs, melted coconut oil or butter, maple syrup, coconut sugar, pumpkin puree, and vanilla extract.
- Pour the dry mixture into the wet mixture and mix just until combined.
- Spoon the batter into the muffin liners, filling each almost to the top. You should have enough batter for about six additional donut holes.
- Bake for 11-13 minutes until a toothpick inserted comes out clean, then cool completely on a wire rack. Allow at least one hour of resting time before serving.
- Mix ground cinnamon and coconut sugar in a small bowl. Carefully remove the liners and roll the cooled donut holes in the cinnamon sugar, ideally no more than eight hours before serving to maintain texture.
- Store in an airtight container for up to two days.
Notes
These donut holes should be rested for an hour before serving to enhance flavor and texture.
For best results, roll the donut holes in cinnamon sugar no more than 8 hours before serving.
Store them in a cool area to maintain freshness.
