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 dry ingredients from almond flour to salt.
- In another medium bowl, whisk together wet ingredients from eggs to vanilla.
- Incorporate the dry mixture into the wet mixture until just blended.
- Evenly distribute the batter into the muffin liners, filling them nearly to the top. You should have enough batter for six more donut holes.
- Bake for 11-13 minutes, checking with a toothpick until it comes out clean. Let them cool completely on a wire rack after turning them out.
- Allow the donut holes to rest for at least an hour before serving for the best taste and texture.
- To prepare for serving, combine cinnamon and sugar in a small bowl. Remove liners and roll the donut holes in the cinnamon sugar. For best results, roll them no more than 8 hours prior to serving to prevent the sugar from liquifying. Store in an airtight container for up to 2 days.
Notes
Let the donut holes cool completely on a wire rack to achieve the best texture.
For maximum freshness, roll in cinnamon sugar right before serving.
These donut holes can be made ahead and stored for a convenient treat.
