Ingredients
  

  • 2 cups almond flour
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1/2 cup granulated erythritol
  • 1/4 cup unsweetened almond milk
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 2 tbsp melted butter
  • Coconut or avocado oil for frying

Instructions
 

  • In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the almond flour, baking powder, salt, and granulated erythritol to ensure an even texture and distribution of ingredients.
  • In a separate bowl, beat the eggs, almond milk, vanilla extract, and melted butter until fully combined and smooth. This helps create a uniform mixture and prevents lumps.
  • Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry mixture, stirring continuously until a soft dough forms. If the dough feels too sticky, let it sit for a few minutes to thicken or add a tiny bit more almond flour.
  • Lightly flour a surface with almond flour and roll out the dough to about ½-inch thickness. If the dough sticks, use parchment paper to roll it out smoothly.
  • Use a donut cutter or two round cookie cutters (one large for the donut shape and a smaller one for the center hole) to cut out the donuts. Gently lift them and place them on a lined tray.
  • In a deep, heavy-bottomed pan, heat coconut or avocado oil to 350°F (175°C). Use a thermometer to maintain the right temperature, as too hot will burn the donuts and too low will make them absorb oil.
  • Carefully drop a few donuts into the hot oil, frying in batches to avoid overcrowding. Let them cook for about 1-2 minutes per side until golden brown and crispy.
  • Use a slotted spoon to remove the donuts from the oil and transfer them to a plate lined with paper towels to absorb excess oil. Let them cool slightly before adding toppings.
  • Dust the donuts with keto-friendly powdered sweetener, coat with a cinnamon-erythritol mix, or dip them in a sugar-free chocolate glaze for extra flavor.
