Prep Time: 10 mins
Cook Time: 15 mins
Total Time: 25 mins
Cuisine: American
Serves: 12 donuts
Ingredients
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup shredded coconut
- 1/4 cup sugar
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon ground ginger
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup coconut milk
- 1/4 cup melted coconut oil
- 1 egg
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease a 12-cavity donut pan with non-stick cooking spray or coconut oil to ensure easy removal of donuts.
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, shredded coconut, sugar, baking powder, ground ginger, and salt until well combined and no lumps remain.
- In a separate medium bowl, combine the coconut milk, melted coconut oil, egg, and vanilla extract. Whisk these wet ingredients thoroughly until they are completely integrated and smooth.
- Pour the wet ingredient mixture into the dry ingredients. Gently fold and mix with a spatula until just combined, being careful not to overmix. The batter should be slightly thick but pourable.
- Transfer the batter to a piping bag or a zip-top bag with a corner snipped off. Carefully pipe the batter into each donut cavity, filling them about 2/3 to 3/4 full.
- Place the donut pan in the preheated oven and bake for 12-15 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into a donut comes out clean and the tops are lightly golden.
- Remove the pan from the oven and let the donuts cool in the pan for 5 minutes. Then, carefully turn out the donuts onto a wire cooling rack to cool completely.
- Optional: Once cooled, dust with powdered sugar, drizzle with a coconut glaze, or top with additional toasted shredded coconut for extra flavor and texture.
- Serve and enjoy the donuts at room temperature. They are best consumed on the day they are made but can be stored in an airtight container for up to 2 days.
Tips
- Donut Pan Essentials: Ensure your donut pan is well-greased with non-stick cooking spray or coconut oil to prevent any sticking and make removal a breeze.
- Mixing Matters: When combining the wet and dry ingredients, be gentle! Overmixing can lead to dense donuts. Aim for a thick but pourable batter.
- Piping Perfection: For a mess-free transfer of batter into the donut cavities, use a piping bag or a zip-top bag with a corner snipped off. This helps achieve uniform shapes.
- Baking Time: Keep an eye on the donuts while they bake. Ovens can vary, so start checking at the 12-minute mark to avoid overbaking.
- Cooling Technique: Let the donuts cool in the pan for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack. This helps them set properly and maintain their shape.
- Flavor Boost: For an extra touch, consider adding a coconut glaze or a sprinkle of toasted shredded coconut on top once the donuts have cooled.
- Storage Tips: These donuts are best enjoyed fresh, but if you have leftovers, store them in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days to maintain their softness.
