Ingredients

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 3/4 cup sugar
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 3/4 cup unsweetened coconut milk
  • 2 eggs lightly beaten
  • 1/2 teaspoon coconut extract
  • 2 tablespoons butter melted
  • 1/4 cup coconut oil melted
  • 1 1/2 cups powdered sugar
  • 3 tablespooons unsweetened coconut milk
  • 3/4 teaspoon coconut extract
  • toasted coconut for topping

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 325F. Spray a donut baking pan with nonstick baking spray.
  • In a large bowl, combine the flour, sugar, baking powder and salt. In another bowl, combine the coconut milk, eggs, coconut extract, butter and coconut oil. Stir the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients, stir until just combined.
  • Transfer the batter to a large zip top bag and cut off one corner. Pipe the batter into the donut pan, filling each about 2/3 full.
  • Bake the donuts for about 10 minutes, until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Remove to a wire rack to cool.

Once the donuts are cool, make the icing:

  • In a bowl, whisk together the powdered sugar, coconut milk and coconut extract. Carefully dip the tops of the donuts into the icing.
  • Immediately dip into toasted coconut. Return the donuts to a wire rack for the icing to set up.
