Although these almond flour donuts are baked in a mini muffin tin, you could use a regular donut tin for these. They are a delicious low carb and gluten free treat. A baked donut is much healthier than a deep fried one too.
I saw the cutest mini donut pan in a supermarket that sang to me like a siren. So an almond flour recipe for donuts was made and a happy husband taste tested to his hearts content. I then made two batches, one with the regular recipe below, the other batch had changed 1/4 cup cocoa powder added. Chocolate mini donuts were in the house! The bunting was put up and the balloons blown. The Chief Taster shed a tiny tear.
I must make another batch of these almond flour donuts and dip them in cocoa powder and coconut oil for a chocolate glaze too! The recipe below is just for a plain donut flavoured with cinnamon. If you want to make the chocolate donuts, add 1/4 cup cocoa flour to the mix. You may need a little bit of water to smooth the batter.
Almond Flour Mini Donuts
Serve these almond flour donuts plain or dipped in melted chocolate than a double dip in unsweetened coconut flour. I’ve been more creative with my coconut flour donuts but should give these almond flour donuts some more attention.
- 1 cup (96g) Almond flour
- 4 eggs
- 1/4 cup erythritol or sugar substitute
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/4 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
-
Preheat the oven to 160C/300F degrees.
-
Grease the donut pan well with butter.
-
Whisk the eggs, vanilla extract and erythritol together
-
Add the almond flour, baking powder, salt and cinnamon and whisk until smooth.
-
Pour into the donut pan and bake for 20 minutes.
-
Eat and enjoy!

April 19, 2018 at 9:33 pmJust a friendly FYI. Do a search for the word great in your recipe and replace it with grease. I just made another recipe for donuts and they were light , fully, and stuck to the pan. I used to have a great almond flour donut recipe that perfectly made 6 donuts for my 6 cavity pan but that was 2 computers ago and I’ve seem to have lost it. I plan on trying this one as it doesn’t have the liquid the one I just tired has. Thank your for posting this recipe.

January 29, 2012 at 10:12 amHi, I brought mine from Amazon.com….I did buy mini ones from a large supermarket too (Geant). I would hope that specialist stores would have them too, but have not searched in them all.
