Keto Apple Cider Donuts
Original recipe: sugarfreelondoner.com
INGREDIENTS:
Batter – dry ingredients
- 1 cup almond flour
- 1/4 cup coconut flour
- 1 1/2 tsp baking powder
- 2 tsp cinnamon optional add-ons: see notes
- 1/4 cup granulated sweetener white or golden (Lakanto brand works well for low carb option)
Batter – wet ingredients
- 3 eggs large, room temperature
- 1/3 cup butter melted
- 2 tbsp apple cider vinegar
- 1 apple measured after it is peeled, cored and chopped (circa 1 cup chopped)
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
Coating
- 2 tbsp butter melted
- 1/4 cup granulated sweetener white or golden (Lakanto brand works well for low carb option)
- 1-2 tsp cinnamon
DIRECTIONS:
- Preheat the oven to 180 C / 350 F. Grease a silicone donut pan with melted butter or oil.
- Peel the apple and chop it into small pieces. Put these in a bowl, cover and cook in a microwave until soft (mine took 4 minutes at 900W). Alternatively, simmer on the stove with a splash of water until very soft. ***see recipe notes
- In a food processor or high-speed blender, blend the eggs until fluffy, pale in color and double the size.
- Add the melted butter, sweetener, apple cider vinegar, vanilla extract and cooked apple and blend.
- Now add all remaining dry ingredients – almond flour, coconut flour, spices and baking powder. Blend until a smooth batter.
- Fill into the prepared donut pan. Don’t over-fill or you’ll lose the hole! Bake for 14 minutes.
- Let the donuts cool completely before removing from the pan.
- Mix together the “cinnamon sugar” mixture. Brush the donuts lightly with melted butter and roll in the mixture until coated all over.
NOTES:
Net carbs: 1.9g per donut. Makes 16 donuts.
Optional add-ons to the cinnamon (optional but recommended):
- ¼ teaspoon ginger
- ¼ teaspoon nutmeg
- ? teaspoon allspice
- ? teaspoon cardamom
***I started out with 125 grams of apple and ended up with 90 grams after microwaving.
*** Additional step if you DON’T have a high-speed blender: Puree the cooked apples before adding them to the batter. This way you ensure that you have a smooth batter without apple bits.
