Equipment
- 1 Doughnut pan (6- or 12-count)
- 2 Mixing bowls (1 for dry ingredients, 1 for wet ingredients)
- Whisk
- Measuring Cups and Spoons
- Spatula
- Cooling rack
- Oven
Ingredients
- 2 cups almond flour finely ground
- 1/2 tsp baking powder
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 1/4 cup sweetener of choice such as erythritol, coconut sugar, or honey
- 3 large eggs
- 1/4 cup melted butter or coconut oil
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1/4 cup unsweetened almond milk or any non-dairy milk
Instructions
- Preheat the oven: Set your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease your doughnut pan with butter or cooking spray.
- Mix dry ingredients: In a medium-sized bowl, whisk together almond flour, baking powder, salt, and sweetener until well combined.
- Mix wet ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk the eggs, melted butter (or coconut oil), vanilla extract, and almond milk until smooth.
- Combine wet and dry ingredients: Pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients and stir until fully combined. The batter should be thick but smooth.
- Fill the doughnut pan: Spoon the batter into each doughnut well, filling them about 3/4 full to allow for rising.
- Bake: Place the pan in the oven and bake for 15-18 minutes, or until golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Cool: Let the doughnuts cool in the pan for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
