Apple Cinnamon Mini-Donuts
Original recipe from Diane SanFilippo's The 21-Day Sugar Detox

- Preheat oven to 350F. Brush a mini-donut pan with the melted coconut oil or butter.
- In a skillet over medium heat, melt 1 tablespoon of the coconut oil. Saute the shredded apple until soft, about 5 minutes. Scoop onto a plate and allow to cool.
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk the eggs, vanilla, remaining 2 tablespoons of coconut oil, coconut milk, and vinegar until combined. Add the coconut flour, almond flour, baking soda, cinnamon, cooked apples, and salt to the egg mixture and whisk until smooth.
- Pour the batter by spoonful into the oiled donut holes, filling each about 2/3 of the way full. The donuts will puff up while baking.
- Bake for 20 minutes or until the donuts are puffed up and golden brown, about 15 minutes.
