Baked Coconut Donuts

Step 1

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, stir together the flour, baking soda, salt, and desiccated coconut.

Step 3

In a smaller bowl, whisk together the maple syrup, coconut milk, melted coconut butter, lemon juice, and vanilla extract.

Step 4

Pour the wet ingredients into the dry and stir until combined. Transfer dough into a large plastic bag or piping bag. Cut off one corner about 1 inch wide, then squeeze the dough into a circle in each donut well.

Step 5

Bake 19-21 mins until tops are dry and golden. Allow to cool in pan 10 mins, then flip out onto a cooling rack to cool completely.

Step 6

Whisk together glaze ingredients or icing ingredients. Add more coconut milk to thin the glaze OR melted coconut oil to thin the icing. DO NOT add liquids other than oil to the icing because they will cause the icing to seize up.

Step 7

When the donuts are cool, place them and the cooling rack over a sheet of wax paper for easy cleanup. Then drizzle the glaze or dip the donuts in the icing. Sprinkle tops with coconut shreds, if desired.

Step 8

Enjoy with a hot cup of coffee!
