Prep Time 10 minutes
Cook Time 15 minutes
Total Time 25 minutes
Servings: 12 servings

Ingredients
  

  • Dry Ingredients: 1 1/2 cups fine blanched almond flour
  • 2 tablespoons coconut flour
  • 1/2 cup granular erythritol or monk fruit erythritol blend (plus more for coating)
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon (plus 1 1/2 teaspoons for coating)
  • 1/4 teaspoon fine sea salt
  • Wet Ingredients: 3 large eggs, room temperature
  • 1/3 cup Greek yogurt or sour cream
  • 1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted and slightly cooled (or refined coconut oil)
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 2–3 tablespoons unsweetened almond milk, as needed
  • For the Cinnamon “Sugar” Coating: 1/3 cup granular erythritol or monk fruit erythritol blend
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
  • 2 tablespoons melted butter (for brushing)

Method
 

  1. Prep the pan and oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease a 6-cavity donut pan with butter or nonstick spray. If using a silicone pan, place it on a baking sheet for stability.
  2. Mix dry ingredients: In a medium bowl, whisk together almond flour, coconut flour, sweetener, baking powder, cinnamon, and salt until no lumps remain.
  3. Whisk wet ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk eggs, yogurt, melted butter, and vanilla until smooth. The mixture should be creamy and uniform.
  4. Combine and adjust: Stir the dry ingredients into the wet mixture. Add 2 tablespoons almond milk and fold until just combined. If the batter seems very thick, add another tablespoon of almond milk. It should be scoopable, not runny.
  5. Fill the pan: Spoon the batter into the donut cavities, filling each about 3/4 full. For cleaner edges, pipe the batter using a zip-top bag with the corner snipped.
  6. Bake: Bake for 14–17 minutes, or until the tops are set and a toothpick comes out clean. The donuts should spring back lightly when touched.
  7. Cool completely: Let the donuts rest in the pan for 5 minutes, then transfer to a cooling rack. Cool fully before coating to avoid melting the sweetener too quickly.
  8. Make the coating: In a shallow bowl, mix the erythritol and cinnamon. In a separate small bowl, have the melted butter ready.
  9. Coat the donuts: Brush each donut lightly with melted butter, then dip and roll in the cinnamon “sugar” mixture until well coated. Tap off excess.
  10. Serve: Enjoy right away or let the coating set for 10–15 minutes for a less tacky finish.
