Do you think i could use gluten free quinoa flour??
I am not sure how that absorbs but you can totally try it and let me know!!
Hi! I made these this morning but they did not come out with a batter consistancy, more dough like, so when I put it in the donut pan they were clumpy. I used canned coconut milk, should I have used a box container type? I don’t know what else it could have been as I followed it exactly.
Hi Jenn! That is so strange!! Did you use just the milk part and not the solid cream part?
Hi! I actually opened the can of coconut milk and stirred it. I didn’t realize it was just supposed to scoop out the liquid. It was solid on top and liquid at the bottom when I poured it into a bowl. This must be what happen. I am a Paleo newb. 🙂
Ah okay good to know!! I will clarify in the notes!!
JUst made these this morning and they are delicious! Thanks for the recipe.
Awesome!! So glad you liked them!! 🙂
These look Delicious ! I have them baking in the oven as we speak..
Awesome!! 🙂
Hi, these look amazing! Can I use stevia/erythhritol instead of maple syrup? Thank!
I haven’t used that but you can try!!
I know it wouldn’t be paleo anymore, but could I replace the almond flour with regular flour and the coconut milk with regular milk? I have a tree but allergy but would love to try these!
I am not sure about the regular flour, but the milk would be fine! Let me know if you try it!
These were so yummy! Light and moist. Just a touch of sweetness to give that sweet breakfast feel without sugar overload. Even the kids loved them!!
That is great!!
