Recipe Steps:
Here’s everything you need for this recipe. Almond flour, vanilla extract, eggs, cinnamon, ginger, baking powder, honey/maple syrup, carrots, and pecans.
Preheat your oven to 350F. Grab a large mixing bowl and whisk 2 eggs. Then add in all of the other carrot cake donut ingredients. Mix everything together well with a spatula. Don’t use a mixer because you’ll blend the carrots and pecans too much.
Add to a greased donut pan, filling about 3/4 of the way. Put them in the oven and bake for 18-20 minutes. This recipe makes 7 donuts. Let the donuts cool before removing and top with some easy icing.
Icing Options:
Paleo option: coconut butter melted and mixed with 2 tbsp maple syrup
Other option: 1/2 cup powdered sugar + 2 tsp almond milk mixed together.
Wait for the donuts to cool then add the icing on top. You can let the icing harden or eat right away.
