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, whisk together the wet ingredients—eggs, melted coconut oil or butter, maple syrup, coconut sugar, pumpkin puree, and vanilla extract.
- Mix the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients until just combined.
- Distribute the batter evenly among the muffin liners, filling each almost to the top. You should have enough batter for an additional six donut holes.
- Bake for 11-13 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Cool the donut holes on a wire rack for at least an hour before serving.
- For serving, mix cinnamon with sugar in a small bowl. Remove donut holes from liners and coat them in the cinnamon sugar mixture. To retain texture, roll them no more than 8 hours before serving.
- Store in an airtight container for up to 2 days.
Notes
Let donut holes rest for at least an hour before serving to enhance flavor and texture.
For the best results, roll in cinnamon sugar closer to serving time to avoid moisture issues.
These donut holes are quite moist, so make sure to store them properly.
