Ingredients
Method
- Preheat the oven to 425°F and line a baking pan with parchment paper.
- In a large bowl whisk together almond flour, coconut flour, baking powder, psyllium husk, xanthan gum, and a pinch of sea salt.
- In a small saucepan bring the water to a boil, then reduce heat to medium low and add avocado oil and 3 tbsp erythritol, whisking until mostly dissolved.
- Gradually add the dry flour mixture to the saucepan, stirring constantly until a thick, sticky dough forms and pulls from the sides of the pan.
- Remove the pan from the heat and let the dough cool for 5 minutes.
- Gradually add the beaten eggs to the warm dough, stirring vigorously after each addition until the mixture becomes smooth, glossy, and elastic.
- Stir in the pure vanilla bean paste, then let the dough rest at room temperature for 15 to 20 minutes to firm up.
- Dust your hands lightly with almond flour, then roll the dough into 1 inch balls and place them on the prepared baking pan, leaving space between each one.
- Bake at 425°F for 15 minutes, then reduce the oven temperature to 350°F and bake for 10 to 15 minutes longer, until the donut holes are golden and feel set.
- Remove the pan from the oven and let the donut holes cool on the pan for 10 minutes.
- In a shallow plate combine granulated low carb sugar substitute and ground cinnamon.
- Place powdered erythritol on a separate plate.
- Brush the warm donut holes with melted butter, roll each one first in the powdered erythritol, then in the cinnamon sugar substitute mixture until evenly coated, and serve.
Notes
- If the dough feels too sticky to roll, dust your hands and the dough lightly with almond flour.
- Allowing the dough to rest before shaping helps the psyllium and coconut flour hydrate and makes rolling easier.
- Let the donut holes cool for at least 10 minutes before coating so they hold their shape.
- Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days, or freeze for up to 2 months.
