- 1 tsp vanilla
- 1 tsp baking powder

Preparation
Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
Whisk 2 eggs in a bowl.
Add almond flour, maple syrup (or honey), cinnamon, ginger, nutmeg, vanilla, baking powder, shredded carrots, and chopped pecans (if using). Mix everything together well.
Grease a donut pan and fill each cavity about 3/4 of the way with the batter.
Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into a donut comes out clean.
While the donuts are baking, prepare the icing. For the paleo option, melt coconut butter and mix it with maple syrup. For the other option, mix powdered sugar and almond milk together.
Once the donuts are done, remove them from the oven and let them cool.
Once the donuts are completely cooled, add the icing on top.
