Author's Notes

Makes 9 donuts.
Cooking InstructionsHide images
step 1
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (180 degrees C). Grease a donut pan really well with avocado oil.
step 2
Sift Coconut Flour (1/2 cup) into a large bowl before whisking in Coconut Sugar (1/2 cup), Ground Cinnamon (2 tsp), Cream of Tartar (1 tsp), Baking Soda (1 tsp), Ground Cardamom (1 tsp), Ground Nutmeg (as needed), and Salt (as needed).

step 3
Make a well in the center of the dry ingredients and add Eggs (6), Avocado Oil (4 Tbsp), and Vanilla Extract (1 tsp). Using a wooden spoon, stir the batter together until well combined. Spoon into the prepared donut pan.

step 4
To toast the Sweetened Shredded Coconut (4 Tbsp), 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.
step 5
Bake until a wooden toothpick inserted in a donut comes out clean, about 15–18 minutes.
step 6
Let donuts cool in the pan for 10 minutes before turning out onto a wire cooling rack to cool completely at room temperature.
step 7
In a small pot on the stove, combine Coconut Butter (4 Tbsp) and Coconut Oil (2 Tbsp). Melt on low heat until a creamy liquid. Coconut butter burns very easily so be sure it let it melt slowly.
step 8
Spoon the melted coconut glaze over top of each donut. Sprinkle toasted coconut shreds on top.
