Apple Cider Donuts

This recipe is inspired by the amazing apple orchards found throughout my adopted state of New Jersey. Apple cider donuts are a traditional treat at farm stands, primarily in the autumn, and are usually served with piping-hot glasses of apple cider. These donuts are grain free, gluten free, dairy free and soy free, and contain only natural sugars, so they’re a genuine Paleo treat that goes great with coffee at breakfast or as an after-school snack.

Makes 12 mini donuts

½ cup (56 g) coconut flour

½ teaspoon baking soda

½ teaspoon ground cinnamon

⅛ teaspoon finely ground sea salt

2 large eggs, at room temperature

2 tablespoons liquefied coconut oil

2 tablespoons honey

½ cup warm apple cider

CINNAMON-SUGAR COATING

2 tablespoons ghee or unsalted pastured butter, or liquefied coconut oil

½ cup granulated coconut sugar, or ¼ cup coconut sugar plus ¼ cup maple sugar

1 tablespoon ground cinnamon

1. Preheat a mini donut maker, or if using a standard oven, preheat the oven to 350°F and grease a standard donut pan.

2. In a small bowl, whisk together the coconut flour, baking soda, cinnamon and salt.

3. In a medium-size bowl, whisk together the eggs, oil and honey.

4. Add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients and stir until combined.

5. Add the apple cider and mix until fully incorporated into the dough. Allow the dough to rest for about 3 minutes to ensure the moisture is absorbed by the coconut flour.

6. Scoop the donut batter into the preheated donut maker. (A cookie scooper makes it easy; use one that measures about 1½ tablespoons.)

7. Close the lid and cook for 2 to 3 minutes. If baking in an oven, bake in a prepared donut pan for 20 minutes. Remove from the oven and allow to cool for another 20 minutes before removing from the pan.

8. Carefully remove the cooked donuts from the pan.

9. Either brush the donuts with melted ghee or dip them in to cover both sides. Toss the donuts with the cinnamon-sugar mixture until coated.
