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 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.
- Gradually add the dry mixture to the wet mixture, stirring until just combined.
- Distribute the batter evenly into the muffin liners, filling them almost to the top. You will likely have enough batter for an additional six donut holes.
- Bake for 11-13 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Allow them to cool on a wire rack.
- Before serving, mix the ground cinnamon with the remaining sugar in a small bowl. Once cooled, remove the liners and roll the donut holes in the cinnamon sugar. It is best to do this no more than 8 hours before serving as the sugar may liquify overnight.
- Store any leftovers in an airtight container for up to 2 days.
Notes
Letting the donut holes rest for at least an hour before serving enhances both taste and texture.
These donut holes are gluten-free and dairy-free, making them a healthier treat option.
