Instructions
Preheat & Prepare Pans
- Preheat your oven to 365°F and lightly oil two donut pans. Set aside.
- Prepare Coconut Milk Mixture
- In a small bowl, mix the coconut milk and apple cider vinegar (or lemon juice). Let it sit for a few minutes to thicken.
Mix Dry Ingredients
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk together almond flour, tapioca starch, baking powder, salt, and sugar.
Combine Wet Ingredients
- Stir in the thickened coconut milk, eggs, egg yolk, melted coconut oil, and vanilla extract until smooth and well-combined.
Make the Crumb Topping
- In a small bowl, mix almond flour, tapioca starch, softened coconut oil, sugar, and cinnamon. The mixture should be crumbly but slightly moist.
Assemble Donuts
- Pour the batter into the prepared donut pans, filling each mold about ⅔ full. Generously sprinkle the crumb topping over each donut.
Bake
- Bake for 15–20 minutes, or until the donuts are set and lightly golden.
Dust & Serve
- Once cooled, dust with powdered sugar, if desired.
Store
