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 through salt) in a large bowl.
- In a separate medium bowl, whisk together the wet ingredients (eggs through vanilla).
- Fold the dry mixture into the wet mixture, stirring until just combined.
- Distribute the batter evenly among the muffin liners, filling each almost to the top. You may have enough batter for six more donut holes.
- Bake for 11-13 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Allow cooling on a wire rack for at least an hour before serving.
- To serve, mix cinnamon and sugar in a small bowl. Remove liners and roll donut holes in the cinnamon sugar. Roll them in the sugar no more than 8 hours before serving to maintain texture.
- Store in an airtight container for up to 2 days.
Notes
For a lighter texture, make sure your eggs are at room temperature before mixing.
These donut holes can become moist, so avoid rolling in cinnamon sugar too soon to prevent liquefying overnight.
If you prefer a sweeter taste, adjust the coconut sugar amount according to your preference.
