Ingredients

Donuts:

  • 1 ⅓ cups almond flour
  • cup coconut flour
  • ¾ cup low carb sugar substitute or other low carb sweetener
  • 2 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • ½ teaspoon xanthan gum may not be needed
  • 1 tablespoon butter melted (coconut oil for dairy-free)
  • 4 large eggs beaten
  • ¾ cup almond milk or other low carb milk
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • ¼ teaspoon nutmeg
  • ¼ teaspoon cinnamon

Frosting:

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 325F. Grease donut pan well.
  • In bowl, mix together flours, sweetener, baking powder, salt, and xanthan gum. Add butter, eggs, almond milk, vanilla, nutmeg and cinnamon. Beat until well blended. Fill each donut mold about ⅔ full.
  • Bake 18-20 minutes or until tops spring back when lightly touched. Cool in pans about 15 minutes then remove from pans to finish cooling on racks.
  • Spread frosting on top of each donut. Donuts may also be dipped into a mix of cinnamon and sweetener instead of the frosting.

Notes

The batter should be relatively thick and will get thicker the longer it stands due to the coconut flour. Therefore, an electric mixer is recommended, but a hand whisk should work.
If you find it difficult to spread into the donut molds, try putting the batter into a plastic bag and cut a hole in the corner to pipe it into the molds.
