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 your oven to 350 °F and line a mini muffin pan with 24 muffin liners.
- In a large bowl, combine the almond flour, coconut flour, pumpkin pie spice, baking soda, and salt.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the eggs, melted coconut oil (or butter), maple syrup, coconut sugar (or brown sugar), pumpkin puree, and vanilla extract.
- Pour the dry ingredients into the wet mixture and stir until just combined.
- Distribute the batter evenly into the muffin liners, filling each almost to the top. You should have enough for about six more donut holes.
- Bake for 11-13 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Let them cool on a wire rack before removing from the pan, allowing them to rest for at least an hour before serving.
- When ready to serve, mix the cinnamon with the sugar, then remove the liners and roll the donut holes in the cinnamon sugar. For best results, roll them no more than 8 hours before serving as the sugar may liquify overnight due to the moisture.
- Store any leftovers in an airtight container for up to 2 days.
Notes
For added sweetness, roll the donut holes in cinnamon sugar shortly before serving.
These donut holes are best enjoyed fresh; however, they can be stored effectively for a couple of days in a sealed container.
Experiment with different spices like nutmeg or adding chocolate chips for variegated flavors.
