How to Make Pumpkin Spice Mölk Donuts

Often times a person thinks low-carb baking, or baking in general is a complicated process.

Can I let you in on a little secret?

It’s not complicated at all!
This recipe may have a fairly long list of ingredients, but the actual steps are ridiculously easy!

1. Preheat the oven to 350° Fahrenheit, and heavily grease a donut pan. 

2. Combine all the dry ingredients in a mixing bowl. (Almond flour, protein powder, sweetener, baking powder, salt, and pumpkin spice.) Mix these together until evenly combined.

3. Add the wet ingredients. ( Vanilla, melted butter, pumpkin puree, cream, and eggs) Mix everything together until you have a smooth, thick, cake-like batter.

 

4. Spoon the batter into the donut cavities. Using a spoon, spread it out as evenly as possible, but don’t stress it if it’s not perfect! They will even out as they bake.

5. Bake for 15 to 20 minutes or until the edges have begun to brown and the tops are firm to the touch.

6. Let the donuts cool in the pan for about 20-30 minutes then gently remove from the pan.

7. In a small bowl combine your sweetener and cinnamon. Mix together until evenly combined.

8. Roll the tops and sides of the donuts in the sweetener until evenly coated.

9. Serve and enjoy!

Tips and Tricks

Don’t have a donut pan? Try making them in a muffin tin instead! Bake for 20-25 minutes, and roll the tops in cinnamon and sugar when done! They won’t be quite the same, but they will still be delicious!
