Ingredients
- 1/2 cup coconut flour Ingredients
- 1/2 cup coconut sugar Ingredients
- 1 tsp cream of tartar or baking powder Ingredients
- 1 tsp baking soda Ingredients
- 1/4 tsp salt Ingredients
- 2 tsp cinnamon, ground Ingredients
- 1/4 tsp nutmeg, ground Ingredients
- 1 tsp cardamom, ground Ingredients
- 6 eggs, lightly beaten Ingredients
- 1/4 cup avocado oil or melted coconut oil Ingredients
- 1 tsp vanilla extract, divided Ingredients
- 1/4 cup coconut butter ICING
- 2 tbsp coconut oil ICING
- 1/4 cup shredded coconut, toasted TOPPING
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350F. Grease a donut pan really well with avocado or coconut oil.
- Sift coconut flour into a large bowl before whisking in coconut sugar, cream of tartar (or baking powder), baking soda, salt, cinnamon, nutmeg and cardamom. Make a well in the centre of the dry ingredients and add eggs, oil and 2 tsp of vanilla extract.
- Using a wooden spoon, stir batter together until well combined. Spoon into the prepared donut pan and bake until a wooden toothpick inserted in a donut comes out clean, about 15–18 minutes.
- Let donuts cool in the pan for 10 minutes before turning out onto a wire cooling rack to cool completely at room temperature.
- In a small pot on the stove, combine coconut butter and coconut oil. Melt on low until a creamy liquid. Coconut butter burns very easily so be sure it let it melt slowly.
- To toast the coconut shreds, place on a baking sheet and bake at the same time as the donuts for 3-4 minutes. Watch carefully to make sure it doesn't burn.
- Spoon the melted coconut glaze over top of each donut. Sprinkle toasted coconut shreds on top.
