Ingredients:
- 2 cups (224g) Superfine blanched almond flour
- 1/2 cup (96g) Granulated erythritol or monk fruit sweetener
- 1 tsp Baking powder
- 1/4 tsp Fine sea salt
- 2 large Eggs (room temperature)
- 1/4 cup (60ml) Unsweetened almond milk
- 2 tbsp (28g) Butter, melted and cooled
- 1 tsp Vanilla extract
- 1/4 cup (48g) Granulated sweetener (for coating)
- 1 tbsp Ground cinnamon
- 2 tbsp (28g) Butter, melted (for exterior dip)
Instructions:
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease a standard 6-cavity non-stick donut pan with avocado oil spray or butter.
- In a large mixing bowl, sift the almond flour to remove clumps. Whisk in 1/2 cup granulated sweetener, baking powder, and sea salt until evenly distributed.
- Add the eggs, almond milk, 2 tablespoons of melted butter, and vanilla extract to the dry ingredients. Use a silicone spatula to fold the mixture until a thick, uniform batter forms.
- Transfer the batter into a piping bag or a large Ziploc bag with the corner snipped. Pipe the batter evenly into the 6 donut cavities.
- Bake for 15 minutes or until the edges are golden brown and the tops spring back when lightly touched.
- Remove from the oven and let the donuts rest in the pan for exactly 5 minutes to allow the almond proteins to set. (Note: The article mentions 15 minutes passive time, but only 5 minutes are accounted for in the instructions).
- While cooling, combine the 1/4 cup sweetener and 1 tablespoon cinnamon in a small bowl. Melt the remaining 2 tablespoons of butter in a separate bowl.
- Carefully remove the donuts from the pan. Dip each donut into the melted butter, then toss in the cinnamon-sugar mixture until fully coated.
