Directions

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and lightly grease a donut pan with coconut oil.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the almond flour, tapioca flour, coconut flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.

In a separate bowl, beat the eggs with a whisk and add the maple syrup, vanilla extract, almond milk, and melted coconut oil. Mix well.

Step 5

Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined and a thick batter forms.

Step 6

Spoon the batter into the prepared donut pan, filling each well about 3/4 full.

Step 7

Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into a donut comes out clean.

Allow the donuts to cool in the pan for 5 minutes, then remove them and place on a wire rack to cool completely.

Step 9

To make the glaze, mix the powdered sugar with 2 tablespoons of water until smooth. Add more water if necessary to reach the desired consistency.
