Ingredients
Scale
- 3/4 cup blanched almond flour (like this)
- 2 TBS coconut flour (like this)
- 1/2 tsp baking soda
- 1/4 tsp unrefined sea salt (I use this one)
- 1/2 tsp cinnamon powder
- 1/4 tsp ginger powder
- pinch of clove
- 1/4 cup unsweetened shredded coconut (like this)
- 2 eggs
- 6 TBS coconut oil (like this), melted
- 4 TBS REAL maple syrup OR raw honey
- 1/2 cup grated carrot, packed
- 1/2 cup raisins, soaked in water for 10 minutes and roughly chopped
- 1 TBS grated fresh ginger
FOR LEMON GLAZE:
- 1/4 cup coconut butter, softened (I use this one)
- 1/4 cup full fat coconut milk (where to buy BPA and additive free coconut milk)
- 1 tsp lemon juice
- 1 and 1/2 tsp raw honey
- water to thin , if necessary
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350’F and grease your donut pan (like this) with a titch of coconut oil.
- Combine dry ingredients (almond flour, coconut flour, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, ginger, clove and shredded coconut) in a large bowl.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together eggs, coconut oil and sweetener of choice. Fold in grated carrots, raisins, and fresh ginger.
- Add wet to dry and mix until well incorporated. Allow to sit for a couple of minutes to let the coconut flour absorb.
- Place the batter in a piping bag (like this) or a large ziploc bag with the end cut off the end so there’s about a 1/2-inch opening.
- Fill each cavity in donut pan 3/4 full. Give the pan a little shake or two to let the batter settle.
- Bake for 18 minutes, or until toothpick inserted comes out clean and edges are just beginning to brown.
- Remove from oven. Let cool for 5 minutes then tip over onto a cooling rack. Allow to cool completely before adding glaze.
To make glaze:
- Place all glaze ingredients into high speed blender. Process until smooth and creamy. Add water a tiny bit at a time if it’s too thick to pour. Pour into shallow bowl. Dip each donut into glaze with a twisting motion to let extra run back into bowl OR just drizzle over the donuts in any fashion that you desire. Place back onto cooling rack.
- Enjoy!
