Trous de beignets à la farine d'amande
Ingrédients
- 1 tasse Farine d'amande - (remarque 1)
- 2 Cuillères à soupe Farine d'arrow-root - (remarque 2)
- 3 Cuillères à soupe Yaourt sans produits laitiers - (remarque 3)
- 3 Cuillères à soupe de sirop d'érable - (remarque 4)
- ½ cuillère à café La cannelle - (remarque 5)
- 1 cuillère à café Extrait de vanille
Enrobage de sucre à la cannelle
- 3 Cuillères à soupe Sucre de canne non raffiné - (remarque 6)
- 1-2 Cuillères à café La cannelle - (remarque 5)
To coat the baked donut hole/stick cinnamon sugar
- 2-3 spray of Huile d'olive au goût doux - (remarque 7)
Instructions de Pose et d'Entretien
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (180°C). Line a mini-muffin pan with 10 mini paper liners, or line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Grease them using a cooking oil spray. Set aside.
- In a mixing bowl, stir almond flour, arrowroot flour, yogurt, maple syrup, cinnamon, and vanilla extract. Stir with a rubber spatula until it forms a sticky, firm dough. If too dry, add a bit more yogurt. If too liquid, add a bit more almond flour.
- Oil your hands with a mild-flavor oil and roll the dough into small balls – I made 10 of them – and place them on the prepared baking sheet or tray.
- Bake the mini donuts for 16-18 minutes at 350°F (180°C) until the outsides are golden brown, and dry.
- Let the bites cool down on the tray for 10 minutes, then gently transfer them to a cooling rack. I used a teaspoon to remove them from the muffin pan without breaking. They are still a bit soft and will firm up as they cool down.
- Meanwhile, prepare the cinnamon sugar. In a small bowl, stir sugar and cinnamon.
- Let the donut holes cool down for 30 minutes, then spray mild-taste oil around the donut holes and roll them into cinnamon sugar.

Ingrédients et substitutions
Il vous suffit de quelques ingrédients simples pour réaliser cette recette. Voici comment les choisir et les interchanger.

- Farine d'amande – This is the main ingredient that gives the donut holes their structure and a naturally moist, dense texture. Using almond flour gives these a richer flavor compared to classic donuts.
- Farine d'arrow-root – This acts as a thickener and binder, helping to give the donut holes a chewy texture. You can also use tapioca flour or cornstarch.
- Yaourt sans produits laitiers – This ingredient adds moisture and a slight tanginess to the dough. Any dairy-free yogurt works, or you can use regular yogurt if you like.
- de sirop d'érable – This provides the primary sweetness for the donut holes. You can also use other liquid sweeteners, like agave or date syrup.
- La cannelle – This spice adds a warm, classic flavor that pairs perfectly with the almond flour and maple syrup. Pumpkin pie spice is a great substitute.
- Extrait de vanille – This enhances the overall flavor with a sweet, aromatic note.
- Unrefined Sugar – This is used for the cinnamon sugar coating and adds sweetness and a bit of crunch. Any granulated sweetener works well here, including coconut sugar or a sugar-free alternative like allulose.
- Huile d'olive au goût doux – This is used to make the cinnamon sugar stick to the baked donut holes. You can also use a different mild-flavored oil or melted refined coconut oil.
How to Make Almond Flour Donut Holes






Conseils de pâtisserie de Carine
Let me share a few more tips for perfect donut holes.
- Know the Flavor – This recipe has a distinct almond taste and a chewy texture, not the light, fluffy texture of a traditional donut. If you prefer a classic donut, you might like my wheat-based donut hole recipe à la place.
- Vary the Flavor – You can swap the yogurt for other ingredients like applesauce, pumpkin puree, or mashed banana to create different flavors.
- Boost Chewiness – For an even more chewy texture, you can swap the arrowroot flour for a tablespoon of whole psyllium husk.
- Keep the Starch – It’s important not to skip the arrowroot or other starch. This is what gives the donut holes their chewy texture. Without it, they will be crumbly and end up like an almond cookie.







I miss donuts! Being gluten free and animal protein milk free (vegan), you can’t find donuts anywhere! I did everything listed above and even added a scoop of my vegan Ghost protein powder that is Cinnabon flavored. Let me tell you, *chef’s kiss* so good!!! Adding my protein powder didn’t change any aspects of the consistency (I tried the Kitchen’s version first before subbing in my protein powder). Highly recommend for anyone missing donuts!!
Thank you so much for this lovely review. I love how you adapted the recipe too.
