This recipe yields soft, airy donuts that can be glazed, dipped, or simply enjoyed plain or rolled in sugar.
Ingredients
For the Donuts:
- 1 cup almond flour
- 1/4 cup coconut flour
- 1/4 cup granulated erythritol (or your preferred keto sweetener)
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 3 large eggs
- 1/4 cup unsweetened almond milk
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 tablespoons melted butter or coconut oil
For Frying:
- Avocado oil or coconut oil (enough for about 2 inches in your frying pan)
Instructions
Prepare the Donut Batter:
- In a mixing bowl, whisk together the almond flour, coconut flour, erythritol, baking powder, and salt.
- In a separate bowl, beat the eggs and then add the almond milk, vanilla extract, and melted butter or coconut oil. Mix until well combined.
- Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and stir until you achieve a smooth batter.
Heat the Oil:
- In a deep frying pan or pot, heat your chosen oil over medium heat until it reaches 350°F (175°C). Use a kitchen thermometer to keep an eye on the temperature.
Shape and Fry the Donuts:
- Spoon the batter into a piping bag or a resealable plastic bag with a corner snipped off for easy piping.
- Carefully pipe the batter into the hot oil, forming donuts. Avoid overcrowding the pan to ensure even cooking.
- Fry the donuts for about 2-3 minutes on each side, or until they are golden brown and cooked through. Use a slotted spoon to gently flip them as needed.
Drain and Cool:
- Once cooked, remove the donuts from the oil and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to absorb excess oil.
Optional Toppings:
- For a classic finish, roll the warm donuts in a mixture of erythritol and cinnamon.
Allow the donuts to cool slightly before enjoying. They’re best served fresh, but you can store any leftovers in an airtight container for a day or two.
Enjoy your delicious low-carb donuts!
