FAQs: Your Guide to Perfect Paleo Donuts

Q1: Can I use a different type of flour? While almond and coconut flours stick to the paleo theme, feel free to try other gluten-free flours. Keep in mind it might change the texture and taste.

Q2: Can I substitute the maple syrup? Absolutely. Use honey or another liquid sweetener of your choice. Adjust the amount based on your preferred sweetness.

Q3: What if I don't have a donut pan? No worries. Make muffins instead and adjust the baking time. Same great flavors, different shape.

Q4: How should I store the donuts? Keep them in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days. For longer storage, pop them in the fridge and warm them up before serving.

  7. Make the Chai Spice Topping:While the donuts are baking, mix together the coconut sugar, cinnamon, ginger, cardamom, cloves, and nutmeg in a small bowl to create the chai spice topping.
  8. Coat the Donuts:Once the donuts are done baking and have cooled for a few minutes, remove them from the pan and dip each donut into the chai spice mixture to coat it evenly.
