Paleo Donuts (High Protein, Low Carb)

When it comes to your health, there’s probably nothing WORSE than a donut.

Made with little more than sugar and white flour – high glycemic, nutrient void, inflammatory ingredients – and then fried in omega-6 rich vegetable oil or trans fat –  even a “once in a while” indulgence in donuts can be harmful to your waistline and your long term health.

Paleo Donuts: An Oxymoron?

We’ve made over this coffee shop favorite using high-fiber almond flour and protein-packed pastured eggs for a healthy breakfast recipe that’s reminiscent of your old favorite. And because these Paleo donuts are just lightly sweetened with stevia, they’re low carb and promote blood sugar balance too.

Be sure to look for a good donut pan that doesn’t contain endocrine-disrupting PFOA (or PFTE). We like USA Pans which are PFOA/PFTE free and contain an environmentally-friendly non-stick silicone coating for easy removal and cleanup.
