Notes:
Coconut flour absorbs slightly more moisture than all-purpose flour, so you might be surprised if this is your first time working with coconut flour. Also, coconut flour can vary slightly by brand, so depending on the brand you’re using, you may need to add a little more liquid or flour. The dough should be fairly stiff, but still scoop able. And the dough should spread as you fill the donut tray and tap it on the table a few times.
