Paleo Maple Bacon Mini Donuts Recipes

Steps:

• For the coconut "bacon": Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
• Mix together the coconut chips, soy sauce, liquid smoke and maple syrup in a medium bowl. Spread in a single layer on a parchment paper-lined baking sheet. Bake, stirring halfway through, until the coconut is golden brown, 8 to 10 minutes. Set aside to cool. The "bacon" will crisp up as it cools.
• For the doughnuts: Melt the butter in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Add the almond milk and coconut oil. Remove from the heat and set aside.
• Pour the peanut or canola oil halfway up the sides of a cast-iron skillet and heat to 350 degrees F.
• Whisk together the flour, cane sugar, baking powder and salt in a medium bowl. Make a well in the center and pour the hot milk mixture in the well. Mix until a thick dough forms. Roll portions of dough into 12 balls and use your thumb to make holes in the centers.
• Fry the doughnuts, in batches, until golden brown, 3 to 5 minutes on each side. Let drain on paper towels.
• Meanwhile, make the maple glaze: Stir together the confectioners' sugar, maple syrup, maple extract and salt in a small bowl. Dip the doughnuts in the glaze and sprinkle with the coconut "bacon" before serving.
