Serves 6
Serving size 1 donut
Prep time: 10 min.
Cook time: 22-28 min.
Ingredients:
Donuts:
- 1 cup almond flour
- ⅓ cup erythritol
- 2 tsp gluten-free baking powder
- 1 tsp cinnamon
- ⅛ tsp sea salt
- ¼ cup butter (unsalted; measured solid, then melted)
- ¼ cup unsweetened almond milk
- 2 large organic eggs
- ½ tsp vanilla extract
- Optional: ½ tsp apple extract
Cinnamon Coating:
- ½ cup erythritol
- 1 tsp cinnamon
- 3-4 tbsp butter (unsalted; measured solid, then melted)
Instructions:
- Preheat the oven to 350°F
- Grease a donut pan well. In a large bowl, stir together the almond flour, erythritol, baking powder, cinnamon, and sea salt.
- In a small bowl, whisk together the melted butter, almond milk, egg, and vanilla extract. Whisk the wet mixture into the dry mix.
- Transfer the batter evenly into the donut cavities, filling them ¾ of the way. Bake for about 22-28 minutes (or longer for a silicone pan!), until dark golden brown. Cool until donuts are easy to remove from the pan.
- Meanwhile, in a small bowl, stir together the erythritol and cinnamon for the coating.
- When the donuts have cooled enough to easily remove from the molds, transfer them to a cutting board. Brush both sides of one donut with butter, then press/roll in the sweetener/cinnamon mixture to coat.
- Repeat with the remaining donuts.
Nutition:
This is awesome! I have an ages-old electric donut maker and I am going to make these. I think I will do just a cinnamon donut, and maybe add maple extract, which I happen to have on hand.
I am thinking of making these for Xmas. Wonder if I can freeze them so I can make them ahead of time.
