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.
1/2CupPowdered Erythritol SweetenerOr your favorite powdered sweetener
1/4CupHeavy Whipping Cream
1TeaspoonVanilla Extract
1TeaspoonSugar 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.
