Apple Cinnamon Mini-Donuts

Original recipe from Diane SanFilippo's The 21-Day Sugar Detox

 2 tablespoons of melted coconut oil or unsalted butter3 tablespoons coconut oil, divided1 green apple, peeled and shredded on the big holes of a cheese grater3 eggs1/2 teaspoon pure vanilla extract5 tablespoons full-fat coconut milk1/2 teaspoon apple cider vinegar1/4 cup unsweetened coconut flour1/3 cup almond flour1/2 teaspoon baking soda1 teaspoon ground cinnamon1/2 teaspoon sea salt

• 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.
