• 1/2 cup white rice flour 80 gr
• 1/2 cup shredded unsweetened coconut 42 gr
• 1/4 cup potato starch 40 gr
• 1 teaspoon baking powder
• 1/2 teaspoon baking soda

Wet ingredients:

• 3/4 cup blueberries 120 gr
• 1 large ripe banana (120 gr)
• 1/4 cup coconut milk canned or coconut cream (60 gr)
• 1/4 cup maple syrup or agave syrup 80 gr
• 2 tbsp lemon juice or lime juice 28 gr
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Lemon glaze (keto)

• 1/4 cup Erythritol or white sugar for a non-keto version 50 gr (*see recipe notes)
• 1-2 tbsp coconut milk or any other plant milk *see recipe notes
• 1 tbsp lemon juice or lime juice

Instructions

 

For the Donuts:

• Preheat your oven to 190°C (370°F) and lightly grease a donut pan with oil.
• Pulse the shredded coconut in a coffee or spice grinder for 10-20 seconds until fine, then transfer to a mixing bowl.
• Sift the remaining dry ingredients into the bowl with the coconut.
• In a blender or food processor, blend all wet ingredients—except the blueberries—and pour the mixture over the dry ingredients.
• Gently whisk the batter just until combined, being careful not to overmix. You should see bubbles forming as the baking soda reacts with the lemon or lime juice.
• Fold in the blueberries, then spoon the batter into the donut molds. Bake for 12-15 minutes, then allow the donuts to cool completely.

For the Lemon Glaze:

• Blend the erythritol or sugar in a coffee grinder until it becomes a fine powder, like icing sugar.
• In a small bowl, whisk the powdered sweetener with coconut milk and lemon juice. Adjust the consistency by adding more milk or lemon juice if needed.
• Once the donuts have cooled, drizzle the lemon glaze over the top. Store the donuts in the fridge and enjoy!.

Notes

• Glaze Tip: For a thicker glaze, use 1 tablespoon of milk; for a thinner glaze, use 2 tablespoons.
