FAQs
1. Can I use different types of flour?
Almond flour works best for a keto diet, but you can try coconut flour in smaller amounts. Remember that coconut flour absorbs more moisture, so adjust the liquid in the recipe accordingly.
2. What can I use instead of eggs?
You can use flax eggs as a substitute. Mix 1 tablespoon of ground flaxseed with 3 tablespoons of water per egg and let it sit until it thickens.
3. How can I tell when the donuts are done baking?
Insert a toothpick into a donut. If it comes out clean or with a few crumbs, they are ready. Be careful not to overbake, as this can make them dry.
