Ingredients
  

For the Donuts
  • 1 cup Almond flour a great gluten-free base that adds a nutty flavor.
  • 1/4 cup Coconut flour helps absorb moisture and gives the donuts a light texture.
  • 1 tbsp Baking powder ensures your donuts rise beautifully for that fluffy bite.
  • 1/4 cup Maple syrup naturally sweetens and enhances the flavor while keeping it refined sugar-free.
  • 2 Eggs bind all ingredients together and provide richness; for a vegan option, use flax eggs.
  • 1/2 cup Unsweetened applesauce adds moisture and a hint of sweetness, making these donuts wonderfully soft.
For the Glaze
  • 1 cup Powdered sugar gives the glaze its sweet and smooth finish.
  • 2 tbsp Almond milk adds creaminess to the glaze; any plant-based milk works well here.
  • 1 tsp Vanilla extract brings depth of flavor to your glaze.

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat your air fryer to 350°F.
  2. Mix the dry ingredients in a large bowl: almond flour, coconut flour, baking powder, and maple syrup. Whisk until well combined.
  3. Combine the wet ingredients in another bowl: eggs, almond milk, and vanilla extract. Stir until nicely blended.
  4. Fold the wet mixture into the dry ingredients until just mixed; the batter should be thick yet pourable.
  5. Spoon the batter into a greased donut mold, filling each cavity about halfway.
  6. Air fry the donuts for 8-10 minutes or until golden brown and spring back when touched.
  7. Cool the donuts in the mold for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack.
Glazing
  1. Whisk powdered sugar and almond milk in a small bowl until smooth and glossy.
  2. Dip each cooled donut into the glaze, letting excess drip off before setting them back on the rack.
