    There are few things in life that bring me more joy than a warm fluffy doughnut in the fall. I know apple cider doughnuts are supposed to be the queen of fall doughnut flavors but I think these Baked Cinnamon Coconut Sugar Doughnuts need to be a contender for the title. They taste and smell ahh-mazing! Plus, they’re super simple to make with the help of a doughnut pan so there’s no frying involved (hellooo health-ier doughnut).

    How to Make Healthy Baked Cinnamon Coconut Sugar Doughnuts

    The baking of the actual doughnut it pretty straight forward — mix the dry ingredients in one bowl and the wet ingredients in a separate bowl. Then, fold in the flour mixture in with the wet ingredients and pour into a doughnut tin (this one is my favorite). The trick part is the cinnamon sugar topping. I’ve got a couple options for you:

    1. The Ziplock Bag Method — This is the method I use and what I’ve found to work the best. Simply place your cinnamon and coconut sugar topping mixture in a ziplock bag. Then place a warm doughnut inside and shake. Repeat with the remaining doughnuts.
    2. The Dip Method — This is the easiest way to coat your doughnuts. You can wait for your doughnuts to cool completely before taking them out to the pan. Melt some coconut oil in a shallow bowl or on a plate (you can use butter here too if you’d like). Mix your coconut sugar and cinnamon and place on a plate. Dip the top half of the doughnut in the melted coconut oil then dip into your coconut sugar mixture. Repeat with remaining doughnuts.

      Hi, I stumbled across your site looking for almond flour recipes and like what I see! I try to do all my baking with almond flour and coconut sugar. I've used these ingredients for over a decade. I'm so happy I found a food blog site that uses these same ingredients. I will subscribe as I will be visiting often. Thanks, so much for all that you do. I greatly appreciate it.
