Total Time: 25 minutes
Servings: 6 donuts
Donut Ingredients
- 1.5 cups almond flour
- 3 organic eggs (*see below for the egg-free substitute!)
- 3 tsp organic pure vanilla extract
- 1/2 tsp baking soda
- 2 tbsp local pure organic honey
Donut Directions
- In a bowl, mix all ingredients together until smooth.
- Fill a greased (I use organic butter to grease) donut pan approximately 3/4 full.
- Bake at 300 degrees F for approximately 10-15 minutes (keep a close eye on them, do not let them overcook or they will be dry) or until slightly light brown on top.
- Allow cooling for 5 minutes before taking them out of the donut pan.
Topping Ingredients
- 4 tbsp organic butter, melted
- 3 tbsp granulated Swerve brand sweetener or coconut sugar
- (use erythritol and xylitol sugars like Swerve sparingly)
- 1 tbsp cinnamon (or to taste)
Topping Directions:
- Melt the butter and set it aside.
- Mix the sugar substitute and cinnamon in a bowl.
- Dip the top of the donut into the butter, just enough to coat the top.
- Then dip the top of the donut into the sugar mixture.
*I recommend eating these donuts ASAP while they are still slightly warm for the best tasting! If you choose to leave some for the next day or two I would wait to top/coat those donuts until you are ready to eat them. I prefer the cinnamon and “sugar” topping but some love a good frosting on top! Try the frosting recipe below!
Egg and Dairy Free Alternatives:
*Egg-Free Option – Flax Egg Substitute
- 3 tbsp flax seeds (ground up)
- 9 tbsp water
- Grind 3 tbsp of flax seeds in a coffee grinder (can buy pre-ground also)
- Mix 3 tbsp ground flax seeds with 9 tbsp water, stir, let sit in the fridge for approximately 30 minutes. Use these flax eggs instead of eggs!
Optional Vegan Frosting Topping
- 6 tbsp coconut butter, melted
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 2 tbsp Swerve sweetener
- 4-6 tbsp non-dairy milk (almond milk) until thin and frosting-like
Slowly melt the coconut butter on low heat. Remove from the heat and add vanilla and sweetener. Add the milk one tablespoon at a time, stirring in between until a smooth, frosting-like consistency.
