Low-Carb Cinnamon Sugar Donuts


Prep Time:   15 Minutes

Cook Time:  30 Minutes Baking, 3 Minutes Frying 
Servings:     6-8 Donuts

Ingredients:

  • 3/4 cup fine ground almond flour 
  • 1/4 cup coconut flour
  • 1/3-1/2 cup swerve
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • 1 tsp Xanthan Gum
  • 1 heaping tsp cinnamon
  • Pinch of salt
  • 2 eggs
  • 1 tsp Apple cider vinegar 
  • 1 tsp vanilla
  • 1/4 cup melted butter
  • 1/4 cup almond milk or two tbsp almond or heavy creamer and two tbsp water


For topping

  • 3 tbsp butter
  • 4 tbsp brown swerve
  • 1/2 tbsp cinnamon 


Instructions:

  1. Preheat oven to 350
  2. Spray oil on 6-8 donut molds (I use silicone ones that are a bit small. It created 7 thick donuts, next time I'll do 8)
  3. Mix dry donut ingredients in bowl
  4. Mix wet ingredients in another bowl
  5. Combine wet and dry ingredients together
  6. Fill molds about 3/4 full of mixture 
  7. Bake for 30 minute until quite brown (the inside needs to really cook). Take out and let rest for about five minutes


For the topping:

  1. Mix brown swerve and cinnamon in shallow bowl
  2. Melt additional butter in frying pan on medium high heat
  3. Place donuts in frying pan 30-90 seconds on each side and immediately dip them in sugar mixture and place on cooling rack. 
  4. Enjoy! 
*I recommend pan frying the donuts in butter even if you decide to top or glaze your donuts with other ingredients.
