I remember when I was probably 6 years old we were building our new house and living with our grandparents while we were doing so. Every once in a while for a special treat Grandma would get though little mini vanilla doughnuts for us to enjoy with breakfast; they were so delicious!
These vanilla doughnuts are my paleo and low-carb version of that favorite breakfast treat. They are fluffy and vanilla-y with yummy cinnamon sugar on top. They’re perfect with a cup or three of black coffee!

Notes
Nutrition data calculated with butter as the fat, cashew milk for the milk, and erythritol as the sweetener for the topping. [br][br]Net carbs when recipe is made with erythritol = 2.4 g. [br][br]Net carbs when recipe is made with date sugar = 5.4 g.[br][br]”Carbs” from erythritol are not included in nutrition data because erythritol doesn’t really effect blood glucose. If you don’t use erythritol, date sugar or coconut sugar makes a very nice topping for these donuts.

Can you give me links to the different donut baking pans? And/or your preference, pros and cons on them?
-Thanks
The different pans that you use.
I think this is the one I have: http://www.amazon.com/Wilton-Nonstick-6-Cavity-Donut-Pan/dp/B004CYELOQ
You’ll want a standard size that batter doesn’t stick to.
I’m going to have to make these today! I’ll tag you on instagram if I succeed. 😉
I LOVE using coconut flour in donut recipes, it lends a nice texture! These are perfect for dunking in coffee!
