Ingredients:
For the donuts:
- 1 cup almond flour
- 1/4 cup coconut flour
- 1/4 cup granulated erythritol (or your preferred keto-friendly 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 for frying (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, then add almond milk, vanilla extract, and melted butter or coconut oil. Mix well.
- Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and mix until you have a smooth batter.
- Heat the Oil:
- In a deep frying pan or a pot, heat your chosen frying oil over medium heat until it reaches 350°F (175°C). Use a kitchen thermometer to monitor the temperature.
- Shape and Fry the Donuts:
- Spoon the donut batter into a piping bag or a resealable plastic bag with a corner snipped off. This will make it easier to shape the donuts.
- Carefully pipe the batter into the hot oil, forming donuts. Be cautious not to overcrowd the pan, as this can affect the cooking process.
- 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 the donuts as needed.
- Drain and Cool:
- Once the donuts are cooked, remove them from the oil and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to drain any excess oil.
- Optional Toppings:
- For a classic touch, you can roll the donuts in a mixture of granulated erythritol and cinnamon while they are still warm.
- Enjoy:
- Allow the donuts to cool slightly before enjoying. The donuts are best when served fresh, but you can store any leftovers in an airtight container for a day or two.
