Cooking Times

Ready in: 35 minutes
Prep time: 20 minutes
Cook time: 15 minutes

Ingredients

  • 2 1/4 cups almond flour
  • 1/2 cup coconut sugar
  • 3/4 tsp baking soda
  • 1 1/2 tsp pumpkin pie spice
  • 3 large eggs
  • 1/4 cup milk
  • 2 tbsp melted coconut oil
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 3/4 tsp apple cider vinegar
  • 1 cup Shredded Carrots
  • 8 oz cream cheese, softened at room temp
  • 1/4 cup Greek yogurt
  • 1/4 cup pure maple syrup
  • 1 1/2 tsp vanilla extract

Directions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F. Lightly grease a donut pan with coconut oil.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together the almond flour, coconut sugar, baking soda, and pumpkin pie spice.
  3. In another bowl, beat the eggs. Add the milk, melted coconut oil, vanilla extract, and apple cider vinegar. Mix until well combined.
  4. Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and mix until just combined. Fold in the shredded carrots.
  5. Transfer the donut batter into a piping bag and snip a corner of it. Gently squeeze out the donut batter directly into the donut pan, filling each cavity about 3/4 full.
  6. Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into a donut comes out clean.
  7. Allow the donuts to cool in the pan for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
  8. In a small bowl, whisk together the softened cream cheese, Greek yogurt, pure maple syrup, and vanilla extract until smooth.
  9. If the glaze is too thick, add a little more Greek yogurt to reach your desired consistency.
  10. Dip the tops of each cooled donut into the glaze or drizzle on with a fork.
  11. Place the frosted donuts on a wire rack and let the frosting set. Enjoy!
