INGREDIENT NOTES AND THEIR KETO SUBSTITUTION:
COCONUT FLOUR:
- The use of this flour retains moisture. It adjusts the almond flour, preventing the dough from becoming too gooey. We can replace it with one additional tablespoon of almond flour, but the texture will be softened because almond flour does not absorb liquid as well.
HEAVY CREAM:
- We use heavy cream to provide wetness and creaminess. If you prefer a lighter donut, you can use unsweetened almond milk, but the result will be light.
ALMOND FLOUR:
- Almond flour provides the donut shape and a soft crumb. It keeps carbs low while giving a nutty flavor. A viable replacement is finely ground pecan flour, which has a slightly richer taste.
POWDERED ERYTHRITOL:
- This provides sweetness without increasing carbs or blood sugar. The powdered forms mix well and reduce stickiness. You can use powdered allulose as a replacement for an additional pure caramel-like sweetness, but it will brown quickly after cooking.
INSTRUCTIONS:
Include all the dry ingredients in a bowl.
Stir it well till well combined.
Put the melted coconut oil, egg, vanilla extract, and heavy cream.
Mix properly till a tender dough firms up.
For a half-inch of thickness, press the dough with your hands.
To provide a shape to the donuts, use a donut cutter.
Hold the donuts and set them on parchment rounds.
Leave it for five to seven minutes in the air fryer at 350 degrees Fahrenheit or till it is browned.
Place the coconut oil in the pan on a very low flame to heat up slightly.
Add the donuts to the pan and put it on a medium flame to cook for two to three minutes.
Stir some erythritol powder or cinnamon.
Sprinkle the mixture on warm donuts.
Before serving, leave the donuts to chill lightly.
TIPS:
Allow it to chill for ten minutes if the dough is too thick.
If you want a glaze variation, combine powdered allulose with a teaspoon of cream till creamy.
We don’t have to mix the dough too much, because it will become dry and crumbly.
The air fryer produces more even results than stovetop frying.
