  3. Sift in coconut flour and baking powder, stir gently until just combined.
  4. Fill each cavity of the donut hole pan halfway with the batter and smooth the tops.
  5. Bake for about 15 minutes, or until they spring back when pressed and a toothpick comes out clean.
  6. Cool in the pan for 5 minutes, then carefully transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
  7. Mix together coconut butter and maple syrup in a small bowl until smooth.
  8. Once cooled, dip the tops of the donut holes into the glaze and allow excess to drip off.
