I’m not a lot of a carrot cake fan. I discover it a bit too candy and there’s simply one thing I don’t like about carrot and pineapple collectively. I’m extra of a butter/chocolate frosting gal.

However coconut + carrot? Carry it.

Final 12 months, I lastly purchased a donut pan. I instantly made Gretchen @kumquat ‘s Completely Coconut Donuts after which went on a little bit of a baked donut spree

However since then, the donut pan has been dormant for some time so I figured it was time to mud it off. And with spring lastly within the air, I figured I’d do a tackle carrots and coconut after seeing a couple of carrot fast bread recipes and a bunch of Easter coconut desserts.

So, these are my “Not Carrot Cake” Carrot Coconut Donuts.

I like baking with coconut flour because it produces a young, fluffy outcome, is gentle in taste and is tremendous wealthy in fiber (coconut flour has double the quantity of fiber in comparison with entire wheat pastry flour!) It’s additionally an excellent choice for individuals who must comply with a gluten-free eating regimen. (Notice: this recipe is NOT gluten-free as I did a mixture of coconut and wheat flour.)

Between the flours, carrots and shredded coconut, every of those donuts gives over 6 grams of fiber. 

Not too shabby for a donut.
