Instructions

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 400F and spray a donut pan with cooking spray.

Step 2

Mix all the dry donut ingredients together in a bowl. Set aside.

Step 3

In a separate bowl, whisk together the wet donut ingredients until incorporated.

Step 4

Pour the wet ingredients into the dry and mix until combined. Do not overmix.

Step 5

Spoon the donut mixture into a piping bag.

Step 6

Pipe the batter into the pan filling 3/4 of the way full.

Step 7

Bake for 10-12 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean.

Step 8

To make the glaze, mix Florida Crystals® Organic Powdered Raw Cane Sugar and coconut milk together in a bowl. The mixture should be smooth and silky, but not too thin. (If yours is very thin, simply add a bit more sugar).

Step 9

Once the donuts are cooled, dip them in the glaze and then immediately dip them in a plate of shredded coconut.

Step 10

Let sit for 30 minutes for the glaze to set.
