Directions
- In a medium bowl, combine all of the dry ingredients.
- In a separate bowl, combine the wet ingredients and add them to the dry ingredients. Mix until the batter is thick. Then spoon the batter into a ziploc and create a piping bag out of this corner.
- Add the batter into a greased doughnut pan.
- Bake for 8-10 minutes at 350 degrees or until a toothpick comes out clean.
- Meanwhile the donuts are baking, make the glaze.
- For the glaze, prepare a small saucepan over medium heat and combine the sugar, coconut, coconut oil, maple, and salt. Bring to a simmer for about 4 minutes. Remove from heat and let cool.
- Once the glaze is cool, dip the doughnuts into glaze and garnish with Rancho Pecana pecans.
