Ingredients:
- 1 ½ cups Superfine Almond Flour (180 g)
- 2 Tbsp Coconut Flour (15 g)
- ½ cup Erythritol/Monk Fruit Sweetener Blend (Granulated, 100 g)
- 1 tsp Baking Powder (5 g)
- 1 tsp Ground Cinnamon (5 g)
- ½ tsp Ground Nutmeg (2.5 g)
- ¼ tsp Allspice or Cloves (optional, 1 g)
- 4 Tbsp Unsalted Butter, Melted (56 g), cooled slightly
- 2 Large Eggs, room temperature (100 g)
- ¼ cup Unsweetened Almond Milk (60 ml)
- 1 tsp Apple Cider Vinegar (ACV) (5 ml)
- 1 tsp Vanilla Extract (5 ml)
- ½ tsp Apple Extract (Natural Flavouring, 2.5 ml, optional)
- 2 Tbsp Unsalted Butter, Softened (28 g, for coating)
- 4 Tbsp Erythritol/Monk Fruit Sweetener Blend (Powdered, 50 g, for coating)
- 1 Tbsp Ground Cinnamon (15 g, for coating)
Instructions:
- Preheat oven to 175°C (350°F). Lightly grease a 12-well mini-muffin or donut hole pan.
- In a large bowl, whisk together the almond flour, coconut flour, sweetener, baking powder, cinnamon, nutmeg, and allspice until thoroughly combined and lump-free. Set aside.
- In a separate medium bowl, whisk the eggs until foamy. Whisk in the melted butter, almond milk, ACV, vanilla extract, and apple extract (if using).
- Pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients. Use a rubber spatula to gently fold and combine until just mixed. Do not overmix. The batter will be thick.
- Using a small scoop, fill each well of the prepared pan about three-quarters full. Bake for 12 to 14 minutes, or until the bites are golden brown, spring back lightly when touched, and a toothpick inserted into the centre comes out clean.
- Remove the pan from the oven. Let the donut bites cool in the pan for 2 minutes before carefully transferring them to a wire rack.
- Prepare the coating: While the bites are cooling, combine the powdered sweetener and cinnamon for the coating in a shallow dish. Melt the softened butter in a separate small bowl.
- Working quickly while the bites are still warm, brush each bite generously with the melted butter. Immediately transfer the buttered bite to the cinnamon-sugar mix and roll thoroughly to coat all surfaces.
- Place the coated donut bites back on the wire rack to set briefly before serving.
