Ingredients

• 1.5 cups Almond flour
• 0.25 cups Coconut flour
• 0.5 cups Granulated erythritol or sweetener of choice
• 2 teaspoons Baking powder
• 2 teaspoons Ground cinnamon
• 0.5 teaspoons Salt
• 0.5 cups Unsweetened applesauce
• 0.5 cups Almond milk
• 3 Large eggs
• 1 teaspoons Vanilla extract
• 0.25 cups Coconut oil, melted
• 0.5 cups Chopped apple, preferably tart
• 0.25 teaspoons Ground nutmeg

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease a donut pan with non-stick spray or a little melted coconut oil.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, combine almond flour, coconut flour, granulated erythritol, baking powder, ground cinnamon, salt, and ground nutmeg. Whisk until well combined.

Step 3

In a separate mixing bowl, whisk together unsweetened applesauce, almond milk, eggs, vanilla extract, and melted coconut oil until thoroughly combined.

Step 4

Gently fold the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients using a silicone spatula until the batter is smooth and well combined.

Step 5

Fold in the chopped apple pieces until evenly distributed throughout the batter.

Step 6

Spoon the batter evenly into the prepared donut pan, filling each cavity about two-thirds full to allow for rising.

Step 7

Bake in the preheated oven for 16-18 minutes, or until the donuts are golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

Step 8

Remove the donuts from the oven and let them cool in the pan for about 5 minutes. Then, transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.

Step 9

Once cooled, you can dust the donuts with additional cinnamon or a mixture of erythritol and cinnamon, if desired, before serving.
