Equipment

Ingredients

palm shortening or similar, for greasing the donut mold

Dry ingredients

1-1/4 cups tiger nut flour
1/2 cup arrowroot
5 Tablespoons coconut flour
2 Tablespoons coconut sugar
1 Tablespoon gelatin
2 teaspoons spices 1 teaspoon dried ginger powder, 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon, 1/4 teaspoon allspice, 1/8 teaspoon each: cloves and cardamom -- For AIP: Omit allspice and cardamom.
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 teaspoon sea salt

Wet ingredients

1 cup + 1 Tablespoon milk of choice: use coconut milk for AIP (or another compliant milk)
1/3 cup coconut oil melted
1/3 cup dates or raisins, minced small (if dates are extra gooey, fine to just dice small)
1/4 cup pineapple crushed canned, or minced small if using fresh, most of the juices strained out, so you're mostly using the juicy solids; okay to sub with applesauce if preferred
1/4 cup pure maple syrup
1 cup carrot grated
2 Tablespoons lemon juice or lime juice, fresh

Garnish

2 Tablespoons maple sugar + 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon

Instructions

Preheat oven to 325℉. Grease donut pan. Set aside.
In large bowl, add all dry ingredients. Stir to mix, making sure to break up any clumps.
In small saucepan, combine: milk, oil, dates or raisins, pineapple and maple syrup. Stir over low heat until it's just warmed but not hot.
To large bowl with flour, add saucepan ingredients, grated carrot and lemon juice. Mix well to combine (without over mixing); I use handheld electric beaters.
For best (prettiest) results, use pastry bag (with no tip) to pipe batter into donut pan. Or use two spoons to scoop it in.
Bake 20 minutes in preheated oven, or until puffed, very golden brown and toothpick inserted into one comes out with a crumb or two adhering.
Cool completely on rack before gently unmolding each donut.
In small bowl, stir together maple sugar and cinnamon. Dip each donut into sugar (it sticks great); you can roll it over and dust both sides, or I like to dip about 2/3 of the donut, so the very bottom doesn't have sugar. Dip all the donuts, and set on serving plate. Eat, and enjoy with tea or Hot Carob Drink.
