Healthy Donuts!

Healthy Cinnamon and "Sugar" Donuts

Donuts
1.5 cups almond flour
3 organic eggs
3 tsp organic pure vanilla extract
1/2 tsp baking soda
2 tbsp local pure organic honey

Topping:
4 tbsp organic butter, melted
3 tbsp granulated Swerve brand sweetener or coconut sugar
(use erythritol and xylitol sugars like Swerve sparingly)
1 tbsp cinnamon (or to taste)

Donuts:
In a bowl, mix all ingredients together until smooth.  Fill a greased (I use organic butter to grease) donut pan approximately 3/4 full.  Bake at 300 degrees F for approximately 10-15 minutes (keep a close eye on them, do not let them overcook or they will be dry) or until slightly light brown on top.  Allow to cool for 5 minutes before taking them out of the donut pan.

Topping:
Melt the butter and set aside.  Mix the sugar substitute and cinnamon in a bowl. Dip the top of the donut into the butter, just enough to coat the top.  Then dip the top of the donut into the sugar mixture. 

I recommend eating these donuts ASAP while they are still slightly warm for the best tasting!  If you choose to leave some for the next day or two I would wait to top/coat those donuts until you are ready to eat them.  I prefer the cinnamon and "sugar" topping but some love a good frosting on top!  Try the frosting recipe below!

Optional Frosting Topping: 
6 tbsp coconut butter, melted
1 tsp vanilla extract
2 tbsp Swerve sweetener
4-6 tbsp non-dairy milk (almond milk) until thin and frosting-like
Slowly melt the coconut butter on low heat.  Remove from the heat and add vanilla and sweetener.  Add the milk one tablespoon at a time, stirring in between until a smooth, frosting-like consistency.
