    These were really good! I fried them in coconut oil after they cooled and sprinkled a little splenda on them. They were even good warmed up the next day! Thanks for recipe! - 9/22/14

    Couldn't help myself, allergic to almonds, I substituted Oat Flour -- which is also no-carb and fewer cals -- they turned out great! - 9/26/17

    Sounds delicious. I have been trying to stay away from most carbs but I have been slipping. If I plan out some low carb treats like this then maybe I can slip less often! - 7/1/20

    Butter not needed. If extra moisture is needed, an equal amount of applesauce. Then plant milk. Voila! Vegan donuts! I will do it!!!! - 1/19/20

    I will try this recipe and add, contra to one comment, oats are not carb free. One cup of oatmeal contains 28-32 grams of carbs and four grams of fiber. T]While that might be considered low carb for some diets that isn't no carb. - 8/28/19

    Great idea but why use junk like Splenda Stevia could be used which is what I will do - 4/29/19
