Total Time: 35 mins
Cuisine: American
Serves: 12 donuts
Ingredients
- 2 cups almond flour
- 1/4 cup coconut flour
- 1/2 cup erythritol or sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 1/2 cup unsweetened almond milk
- 1 tbsp baking powder
- 1 tbsp cinnamon
- 1/4 cup melted coconut oil
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and lightly grease a 12-cavity donut pan with coconut oil or non-stick cooking spray.
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk together almond flour, coconut flour, erythritol, baking powder, and ground cinnamon until well combined and no lumps remain.
- In a separate medium bowl, beat the eggs and then add unsweetened almond milk and melted coconut oil. Whisk these wet ingredients until fully incorporated.
- Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredient mixture and stir thoroughly until a smooth, consistent batter forms. The batter should be thick but still slightly pourable.
- Use a piping bag or a spoon to carefully fill each donut cavity about 3/4 full with the batter, ensuring an even distribution.
- Smooth the tops of the batter with the back of a spoon or a small spatula to create an even surface.
- Place the donut pan in the preheated oven and bake for 18-20 minutes, or until the donuts are golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Remove from the oven and let the donuts cool in the pan for 10 minutes before carefully transferring them to a wire cooling rack.
- Optional: While still warm, dust the donuts with additional cinnamon and erythritol or drizzle with a low-carb glaze for extra sweetness.
- Allow donuts to cool completely before serving. Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
Tips
- Ensure all ingredients are at room temperature for the most consistent batter texture.
- Use a piping bag or a ziplock bag with the corner cut off for the most precise donut filling.
- Don't overmix the batter - this can lead to dense, tough donuts.
- For extra moisture, you can add a tablespoon of Greek yogurt to the wet ingredients.
- Make sure to grease your donut pan thoroughly to prevent sticking.
- Check donuts a few minutes before the recommended baking time, as oven temperatures can vary.
- Let donuts cool completely before adding any glazes or toppings to prevent sogginess.
- For a dairy-free version, substitute almond milk with coconut milk.
- Store donuts in an airtight container to maintain their soft texture.
- These donuts freeze beautifully - just wrap individually and thaw at room temperature.
