Ingredients
  

  • 1 1/2 cups blanched almond flour
  • 2 tablespoons coconut flour
  • 1/4 cup granular erythritol or a monk fruit-erythritol blend (plus more for coating)
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder (aluminum-free)
  • 1/4 teaspoon fine sea salt
  • 2 large eggs, room temperature
  • 3 tablespoons unsweetened almond milk (or heavy cream for richer texture)
  • 2 tablespoons melted butter or coconut oil, plus 2 tablespoons for brushing
  • 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon (plus 1 teaspoon for coating)
  • Optional: pinch of nutmeg for classic donut flavor

Method
 

  1. Preheat and prep: Heat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. If air-frying, preheat your air fryer to 320°F (160°C) and line the basket with parchment cut to fit.
  2. Mix dry ingredients: In a medium bowl, whisk almond flour, coconut flour, sweetener, baking powder, salt, 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon, and the optional nutmeg.
  3. Add wet ingredients: Stir in eggs, almond milk, 2 tablespoons melted butter or coconut oil, and vanilla. Mix until a soft, slightly sticky dough forms. If too sticky to roll, chill for 10 minutes.
  4. Shape the donut holes: Use a small cookie scoop or spoon to portion the dough into 16–20 pieces. Roll each between your palms to form smooth balls, about 1 to 1 1/4 inches wide.
  5. Bake or air-fry: Oven: Bake 12–15 minutes, until lightly golden and set. They should feel springy, not wet.
  6. Air fryer: Cook 8–10 minutes, shaking basket halfway. Watch closely to avoid over-browning.
  7. Make the coating: In a shallow bowl, combine 2–3 tablespoons granular sweetener with 1 teaspoon cinnamon.
  8. Brush and coat: While warm, lightly brush donut holes with the remaining melted butter or coconut oil. Roll each in the cinnamon “sugar” until evenly coated.
  9. Cool slightly: Let them rest 5–10 minutes. This helps the coating set and the texture finish.
