- Serves:12-15
- Time: Prep 15 min., Cook 10-12 min.
Ingredients
- 1 ½ cup almond flour
- ½ cup tapioca flour
- 2 scoops Great Lakes Chai Collagen
- 3 tsp baking powder
- ½ tsp salt
- 1 tbsp pumpkin spice
- 1 tsp cinnamon
- 2 pastured eggs
- ½ cup pure maple syrup
- 1 tsp pure vanilla extract
- ¾ cup coconut milk
- 3 tbsp coconut oil or melted butter
MAPLE GLAZE
- ½ cup coconut butter
- 2-4 tbsp maple syrup
- 4-6 tbsp non-dairy milk to thin out glaze
Directions
- Preheat the oven to 375 F degrees.
- In a large mixing bowl or stand mixer , combine the almond flour, tapioca flour, collagen powder, baking powder, pumpkin spice, cinnamon and salt. Mix until combined.
- In a smaller mixing bowl, add the eggs, pure maple syrup, vanilla extract, and coconut milk. Using a hand mixer, blend ingredients until smooth.
- Pour the wet ingredients into the dry, and blend all ingredients with your mixer until smooth.
- Add your softened coconut oil to the batter, and blend again until all ingredients are combined evenly.
- Liberally grease your donut pan with coconut oil, and spoon about a cup of batter into a ziplock bag.
- Snip one of the corners off of the ziplock bag, and pipe the batter into the donut mold. More batter makes a fluffy donut, but you will have less total donuts. Filling the molds ¾ full will yield about 12-15 donuts.
- Smooth the tops of the batter by carefully banging the donut pan on the counter, and smoothing any uneven spots with a spoon or your finger.
- Bake the donuts for 12 minutes, making sure to check then after 8-10 minutes. Remove donuts from oven, and allow to cool on a wire rack.
- Grease donut pan again, if you did not make them all in one batch and repeat.
- While the donuts are cooling, make your maple glaze. Warm the coconut butter until it softens. Mix all of the glaze ingredients in a small bowl and whisk together.
- Once donuts are completely cool, dip them into the glaze. It helps to have the glaze in a shallow bowl to dip to donut. Place donuts in the fridge for a few minutes to help the frostings set before serving.
