Directions
Step 1
In a medium-sized bowl, combine the almond flour, arrowroot starch, coconut flour, baking soda, and salt. Mix well and set aside.
Step 2
In a separate large bowl, whisk together the eggs, unsweetened applesauce, maple syrup, and vanilla extract until well blended.

Gradually add the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients, stirring gently until a thick dough forms.
Step 5
Heat the remaining coconut oil (about 1 quart) in a deep fryer or deep, heavy-bottomed pot to 350°F (175°C).
Step 6
Scoop out tablespoon-sized portions of dough and roll into smooth balls using your hands.
Step 7
Carefully place the dough balls into the hot oil, frying in batches for about 2-3 minutes per side until golden brown and cooked through.

Remove the fried doughnuts using a slotted spoon and drain on a paper towel-lined plate.

Using a piping bag fitted with a small nozzle, fill each cooled doughnut with sugar-free fruit preserves.
