Ingredient Notes

Cinnamon

Cinnamon is the star ingredient in this recipe, providing warm flavor while being commonly associated with anti-inflammatory eating patterns.

Turmeric

A small amount of turmeric adds subtle depth and contributes to the recipe’s anti-inflammatory profile.

Almond Flour

This gluten-free flour creates a moist, tender crumb while keeping carbohydrates lower than traditional flour.

Bacon

Crispy bacon adds a savory contrast that perfectly balances the sweet cinnamon coating.

Bourbon

The bourbon adds a sophisticated flavor note to the whipped cream without overwhelming the dessert.

Why These Ingredients Work

The combination of cinnamon, ginger, and turmeric creates layers of warm spice that complement the richness of almond flour and coconut oil. The bacon provides a crispy, salty contrast, while the bourbon whipped cream adds creamy indulgence.

Together, these ingredients create a donut that’s sweet, savory, fluffy, and unforgettable.

Step-by-Step Instructions

Step 1: Prepare the Oven and Pan

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).

Lightly grease a donut pan with nonstick spray or coconut oil.

This helps the donuts release easily after baking.

Step 2: Mix the Dry Ingredients

In a large bowl, whisk together:

Almond flour
Coconut flour
Baking powder
Cinnamon
Ginger
Turmeric
Sea salt

Mix thoroughly to ensure the spices are evenly distributed.

Step 3: Combine the Wet Ingredients

In another bowl, whisk together:

Eggs
Melted coconut oil
Monk fruit sweetener
Vanilla extract
Almond milk

The mixture should become smooth and creamy.

Step 4: Create the Batter

Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients.

Mix until a thick, smooth batter forms.

Avoid overmixing to maintain a light and fluffy texture.

Step 5: Fill the Donut Pan

Transfer the batter into a piping bag or spoon it into the donut cavities.

Fill each cavity about three-quarters full.

This allows room for the donuts to rise during baking.

Step 6: Bake Until Golden

Bake for 15-18 minutes.

The donuts should become lightly golden and spring back when gently touched.

Your kitchen will fill with the warm aroma of cinnamon and vanilla.

Step 7: Prepare the Cinnamon Sugar Coating

While the donuts cool slightly, mix monk fruit sweetener and cinnamon in a shallow bowl.

Lightly brush each donut with a small amount of melted coconut oil.

Roll the donuts in the cinnamon mixture until evenly coated.

Step 8: Make the Bourbon Whipped Cream

Using a mixer, beat:

Heavy whipping cream
Bourbon
Powdered sweetener
Vanilla extract

Whip until soft peaks form.

The texture should be light, airy, and creamy.

Step 9: Assemble the Donuts

Top each donut with a dollop of bourbon whipped cream.

Sprinkle generously with crumbled bacon.

Serve immediately for the best texture and flavor.

Serving Suggestions

These donuts are perfect for:

Weekend brunch spreads
Holiday breakfast tables
Special celebrations
Afternoon coffee breaks
Dessert platters
Fall and winter gatherings

Pair them with coffee, chai tea, or a sugar-free latte for an extra cozy experience.

Pro Tips & Variations

For extra spice, add a pinch of nutmeg or cloves to the batter. If you prefer a non-alcoholic version, replace bourbon with vanilla extract in the whipped cream. Chopped pecans or walnuts can be sprinkled over the top for added crunch.

Store the whipped cream separately if preparing ahead of time. For a dairy-free version, use coconut cream instead of heavy whipping cream. You can also drizzle sugar-free maple syrup over the finished donuts for even more indulgent flavor.

Store donuts in an airtight container for up to 4 days.
