Glazed Protein Donuts
We all love a good donut, and these low-carb glazed, protein donuts are a personal favorite of mine. The soft almost bread like texture of this classic donut recipe, paired with a simple vanilla glaze is guaranteed to leave your tastebuds wanting more than just one.
Ingredients
- 4 Large Eggs
- 1/4 Cup Water
- 1/4 Cup Heavy Whipping Cream
- 1 Teaspoons Vanilla Extract
- 1/2 Cup Vanilla Mölk
- 1 1/2 Cups Blanched Almond Flour
- 1/2 Cup Monkfruit/Erythritol Blend
- 2 Teaspoons Baking Powder
- 1/4 Tsp Salt
For the Glaze
- 1/2 Cup Powdered Erythritol Sweetener Or your favorite powdered sweetener
- 1/4 Cup Heavy Whipping Cream
- 1 Teaspoon Vanilla Extract
- 1 Teaspoon Sugar Free Maple Syrup
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 325 F and heavily grease one 12 cavity donut pan.
- In a medium-sized mixing bowl mix together the protein powder, almond flour, sweetener, baking powder, and salt until evenly combined.
- Next, add the cream, eggs, vanilla, and water and mix again until well combined. Whip the batter for a couple of minutes, by hand or with mix well with a stand mixer, until you have a smooth slightly airy batter.
- Spoon or pour the batter into the prepared pan, filling each cavity about two-thirds full. Bake for 18-24 minutes or until set and firm to the touch. Remove from the oven and let them cool completely before turning them out on a wire rack.
To Make the Glaze
- While the donuts are cooling whisk together your sweetener, cream, vanilla, and syrup until smooth.(If your glaze is too thick add more cream a teaspoon at a time, until the desired consistency has been achieved)
- Dip the tops of each donut into the glaze and place on a wire rack until set.
