DOUGHNUTS

Alright y'all... These.  Make them and THANK me later!!! Doughnut Ingredients:  4 eggs (preferably room temperature) 1/2 cup almond milk (I suppose you could use coconut milk, but I did not) 1/3 cup grade A maple syrup 1/2 cup pumpkin puree (if using an actual pumpkin puree, non-canned, make sure it you take out the excess liquid) 3 tablespoons melted coconut oil 2 tablespoons almond butter 1 teaspoon vanilla extract 3/4 cup almond flour  1/4 cup coconut flour 1 teaspoon baking soda 2 teaspoon pumpkin spice 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon (I used a slight more) 1/4 teaspoon salt For the cinnamon "sugar" coating Melted coconut oil (I used about 2 large tablespoons) A handful of fine coconut sugar (about 1/4 cup). You do not need to do this but I blended the coconut sugar in a food processor to make it a finer crystal than how you purchase it Cinnamon to "taste" (about 1 Tablespoon) Directions: Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
