Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and prepare a mini muffin tin by lightly spraying it with non-stick spray.
  2. In a large bowl, combine the pumpkin puree, eggs, and maple syrup. Whisk vigorously until smooth.
  3. In another bowl, whisk together the coconut flour, cinnamon, nutmeg, and a pinch of salt. Gradually add to the wet mixture, folding it until a thick batter forms.
  4. Fill each muffin tin cavity about three-quarters full with the batter.
  5. Bake for 15-18 minutes, until golden brown and a toothpick inserted comes out clean.
  6. Let the donut holes cool in the tin for about 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
  7. Mix the coconut butter with a splash of maple syrup until smooth and creamy for the glaze.
  8. Drizzle the glaze over each donut hole once completely cool.
