Preheat an air fryer to 350°F for about 5 minutes. If you don't have an air fryer, preheat your oven to 350°F.

Lightly grease eight donut molds. If you don't have donut molds, you can use ramekins or silicone muffin cups, or roll into donut holes, but they may spread without a mold.

In a large mixing bowl, combine 56 g coconut flour, 25 g granulated sweetener, 38 g brown sugar sweetener, 15 g baking powder, 4 teaspoons salt, and 1 tablespoon pumpkin pie spice. Sift together until fully combined with no lumps.

Add 4 large room temperature eggs to the dry ingredients and stir until fully combined.

Add 4 oz pumpkin puree, 60 g sour cream, 2 tablespoons cooled melted butter, and 1.5 teaspoons maple or vanilla extract. Stir until fully combined and you have a thick wet dough.

Divide the dough evenly between the donut molds, roughly 3 to 4 tablespoons of dough in each mold. Optionally, create a hole in the center of each donut with your finger.

Air fry at 350°F for 6 to 10 minutes, or bake at 350°F for 20 to 25 minutes, until brown and a tester comes out clean.

Let the donuts sit in the fryer or oven for about 5 minutes to cool slightly before removing from the molds.

Transfer the donuts to a wire rack and allow to cool in their molds for 20 to 30 minutes until firm enough to remove without falling apart.

For the glaze, combine 100 g powdered sweetener, 15 mL keto maple syrup, and 15 mL keto milk in a medium bowl. Add 1/4 teaspoon maple or vanilla extract and whisk until smooth. Adjust consistency with more milk or sweetener as desired.

Spoon the glaze over the cooled donuts and let sit for 10 to 15 minutes until the icing is set.
