Perfect Low-Carb Donuts
Delicious gluten/grain-free baked donut
Equipment
- donut pan, piping bag (or ziplock bag)
Ingredients
- 1 cup ground blanched almond flour
- 1/3 cup coconut flour
- 1/3 cup granulated mont fruit sweetener
- 1/2 tsp xanthan gum
- 1 1/2 tsp baking powder
- 1/2 tsp baking soda
- 1/4 tsp sea salt
- 3/4 cup almond milk
- 2 tsp vanilla extract
- 2 eggs, lightly beaten
- 2 tbsp melted butter (plus more for greasing pans)
Ganache Glaze
- 1 cup sugar free chocolate chips (like Lily's)
- 2/3 cup heavy cream
Instructions
- In a large bowl, combine the dry ingredients. Add in the rest of the ingredients, one at a time and mix with a hand mixer or vigorously by hand until the ingredients are well incorporated.
- Brush the insides of the donut pan generously with melted butter. Transfer the donut batter into a large piping bag or ziplock bag, cut a 3/4" hole in the corner and pipe the batter into the pans.
- Bake at 350 degrees for 13-15 minutes until the middle is cooked and a toothpick inserted comes out clean. Cool in pan for 5 minutes then use the tip of a rubber spatula to gently remove the donuts from the pan. Cool on a wire rack for 15 minutes
- To make the ganache glaze, measure out 1 cup of sugar-free white chocolate chips into a large glass bowl or measuring cup. Heat the heavy cream in a saucepan on the stove top on medium heat until it almost begins to scald. Pour the hot milk over the chocolate chips and let sit for 5 minutes. Then, stir with a rubber spatula until you get a smooth mixture. Dip the top of each donut in the mixture and set on a wire rack. Top with sprinkles while the glaze is still wet. Let the glaze set for at least 30 min.Enjoy!
Notes
In this recipe, I used my preferred baking ingredients. It's important to use the same flours that the recipe calls for. But, you can substitute any milk and 1:1 granulated sweetener in this recipe and get a similar result.
I use Lily's sugar-free white chocolate chips, but you can use milk chocolate chips. They would be very pretty and delicious!
