Keto Cinnamon Sugar Donuts

A backstory: When you want a donut but don’t want the carbs sneaking up on you, these keto donuts come to the rescue. They’re light and fluffy, with a crunchy cinnamon-sweet coating. Perfect for dipping into your morning coffee!

Ingredients

• 1 cup almond flour
• 1/4 cup coconut flour
• 1/4 cup erythritol or preferred keto sweetener
• 1 tablespoon baking powder
• 1/2 teaspoon sea salt
• 3 large eggs
• 1/4 cup heavy cream
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• Oil for frying (e.g., coconut oil or avocado oil)

Cinnamon Sugar Coating

• 1/4 cup erythritol
• 1 tablespoon ground cinnamon

Instructions

1. In a mixing bowl, combine almond flour, coconut flour, erythritol, baking powder, and sea salt.
2. In a separate bowl, whisk together eggs, heavy cream, and vanilla extract.
3. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and mix until a dough forms.
4. Roll the dough into small balls and then shape them into donut forms.
5. Heat oil in a deep pan over medium heat. Test if the oil is ready by dropping a small piece of dough in – it should sizzle.
6. Fry the donuts in batches until golden brown – about 3-4 minutes on each side.
7. While donuts are cooling, combine erythritol and cinnamon for the coating.
8. Roll the warm donuts in the cinnamon sugar coating until evenly covered.
