Equipment

  • Silicone Donut Pan or non-stick donut pan
  • Flat Baking Sheet
  • Whisk or hand mixer
  • Large Bowl
  • small bowl
  • Small saucepan

Ingredients
  

Gluten Free Maple Donuts

  • 1 1/4 cup almond flour
  • 2 Tablespoons coconut flour
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 2 large eggs room temperature or warmed so it does not coagulate the butter
  • 4 Tablespoons heavy cream or coconut milk for dairy free
  • 4 Tablespoons keto maple syrup nutritional figures are based on using my homemade keto syrup
  • 4 Tablespoons butter melted
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract

Maple Glaze

  • 2 Tablespoons keto maple syrup
  • 2 Tablespoons butter room temperature
  • 2 Tablespoons heavy cream or coconut cream
  • 2 Tablespoons keto brown sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 teaspoon maple extract
  • 3/4 cup confectioners erithrytol

Instructions
 

Gluten Free Maple Donuts

  • Preheat oven to 350F and set your donut pan on a baking sheet so it is ready.
  • In a small bowl, combine dry ingredients: almond flour, coconut flour, salt, and baking soda. Whisk well and set aside.
  • In a large bowl combine wet ingredients: eggs, heavy cream, keto maple syrup, melted butter and vanilla.
  • While whisking the wet ingredients, slowly add in the dry ingredients. Whisk well until batter is smooth.
  • Now put all of the batter into a piping bag, or use the corner end of a gallon ziploc bag. Pipe batter evenly into each donut well in your pan. Smack pan on the counter to release any bubbles in batter and to make it even.
  • Bake 20-25 minutes until it is set and lightly golden.
  • Let donuts cool in pan for 5 minutes before slowly turning onto a cooling rack with a pan underneath.

Maple Glaze

  • In a small saucepan add all of the glaze ingredients and heat over medium heat while whisking until it is completely smooth and thin.
  • In a quick motion, drizzle glaze over each donut. It works best to follow the golden circle on the donut so you cover it as evenly as possible. You MUST do this in a swift motion as the glaze will harden and crystallize in the pan before you are able to coat them all if you take too long. If it hardens in the pan before you are able to coat them all, reheat and try again with the remaining amount.
  • Donuts keep on the counter for 1-2 days. For longer storage keep in fridge up to 5 days or freeze 1 month, glazed, or 3 months unglazed.

Will store bought keto maple syrup or pure maple syrup work in this recipe?
Yes, store bought will work. Keto maple syrup from the store is usually thinner than my homemade version, so keep that in mind. You can also use pure maple syrup if you are not concerned with the sugar content. It calls for 6 tablespoons maple syrup total for the donuts and the maple glaze. To figure out the grams of sugar for that amount would be simple. 
How can I ensure that my donuts don't stick to the pan?
My best advice to prevent the donuts from sticking is to generously grease your donut pan with melted butter or non-stick cooking spray before filling it with batter. I have found that using a silicone donut pan is the easiest as I do not have to grease the pan and the donuts always come out.
Can I make these donuts dairy free?
Yes, you can make these donuts dairy free when you use vegan butter instead of regular butter and coconut milk instead of heavy cream. The creamy textures of the substitutes will still result in a delicious maple glazed donut.
What is the best way to store leftover donuts?
To keep your donuts fresh, store them in an airtight container at room temperature for up to two days. If you wish to store them for longer, you can freeze the donuts up to 3 months and thaw them as needed. For best results, keep frosted donuts frozen up to one month, past this the glaze may not taste as fresh.
