Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup organic, grass-fed butter softened
  • 1/2 cup powdered coconut sugar
  • 1 cup + 2 T. Bob's Red Mill tapioca flour
  • 1 medium pasture-raised, organic egg
  • 3/4 cup coconut flour
  • 2 T. organic blackstrap molasses
  • 1/2 tsp. ground ginger
  • 2 tsp. ground cinnamon
  • pinch of sea salt
  • 2 T. ground cinnamon rolling mixture
  • 2 T. coconut sugar rolling mixture

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 350° F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  • In a large mixing bowl, combine the softened butter, powdered coconut sugar, sea salt, molasses, cinnamon, and ginger. Stir until smooth.
  • Stir in the coconut flour. Add the 1 cup of tapioca flour and stir until the batter is crumbly. Add the egg and stir until the dough forms a ball. Sprinkle the 1 T. of tapioca flour over the dough and stir until incorporated.
  • You should be able to handle the dough by now and be able to shape it into balls. If it is still too sticky, let it set for a few minutes or add a little bit more tapioca flour.
  • Pinch off tablespoon size pieces of the dough and roll them into balls. Place them on the baking sheet or on a plate. Freeze the balls for 10 minutes.
  • Bake for 12-15 minutes. The bottoms should be lightly browned. Cool on a wire rack.
  • Mix the coconut sugar and cinnamon reserved for the rolling mixture together. Roll each donut hole in the cinnamon sugar mixture. Enjoy!
