Maple donuts from one of the grocery stores in our town was a popular pick in our house when I was growing up. After developing my Low Carb Glazed Donut Recipe I was inspired to recreate some of the classic donut variations I loved as a kid, and maple was first on the list!

Though this sugar-free glaze has more of a caramel twist than most maple frostings, the caramel flavor is what makes it the bomb in my opinion!

Be prepared to get messy and love life when indulging in these delicious caramel-coated, low-carb donuts!

Ingredient List

4 Large Eggs

1/4 Cup Water

1/4 Cup Heavy Whipping Cream

1 Teaspoon Vanilla Extract

1/2 Cup Vanilla Mölk

1 1/2 Cups Almond Flour

1/4 Cup Monk Fruit/Erythritol blend

1/4 Teaspoon Salt

How to Make Low Carb Caramel Maple Glazed Donuts

Preheat the oven to 325° Fahrenheit and heavily grease a 12 cavity donut pan with either olive oil or avocado oil cooking spray.

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, water, and vanilla and mix again until well combined. Whip the batter for a couple of minutes either by hand or 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 18-20 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 Caramel Maple Glaze

Begin by melting your butter in a small saucepan over low heat. While it is melting use a whisk to stir the butter, helping it melt more evenly.

Once melted, add the sweetener and maple. Boil for about 3 minutes, stirring the mixture constantly, until the butter and sweetener have begun to brown and the sweetener has fully dissolved and begun to caramelize.

Next, add the cream and whisk until you have a smooth caramel sauce. Remove the pan from heat, and let the sauce cool.

Once it has cooled dip the tops of each donut in the glaze coating the tops and sides. Set the donuts aside on either a wire rack or plate and let the glaze set for a few minutes before serving.

After the donuts have set, grab yourself a napkin, a cup of coffee, and enjoy!
