These Cinnamon Sugar Donuts are such a lovely sweet treat. I usually double the recipe and freeze a batch. I have found that my Basic Chocolate Recipe for Making Chocolates works really well as a dip for these (I recommend double-dipping). Have fun decorating these with chopped nuts, coconut flakes, or freeze-dried fruit!

Ingredients

eggs, large		3
maple syrup, (*see note for low carb)		¼ cup
vanilla extract		1 tsp
almond flour, blanched		1½ cup
baking soda		½ tsp
cream of tartar		1 tsp
sea salt		1 pinch
cinnamon (optional ingredient)		¾ tsp
nutmeg (optional ingredient)		⅛ tsp
optional garnishes: coconut flakes, freeze dried fruit, chopped nuts

Directions:

Preheat the oven to 350°F.
Whisk eggs. Add in the remaining ingredients, and mix well by hand.
Grease the donut pan thoroughly.
Spoon batter into a piping bag (or use a zip lock bag, then cut off the corner).
Pipe donut filling into a *full-sized donut baking pan with space for 9 standard donuts (or more if making mini-donuts).
Bake at 350°F for 10 to 16 minutes (cooking time varies depending on the type of baking pan used).
After baking, let the Cinnamon Sugar Donuts fully cool before removing them from the pan.

Notes:

I use a silicone donut pan and set it on a full metal baking sheet for ease in getting it in and out of the oven.
If you are going to top these with my Basic Chocolate Recipe for Making Chocolates put the donuts into the freezer to chill for 20 minutes while you make the glaze.
Low Carb: use ¼ cup Lakanto sweetener and add 3 Tablespoons of olive oil.
