Low Carb Chocolate Glazed Donuts


Print Friendly and PDF

My Glazed Donuts are by far the most popular recipe on my blog, so it was time to try some variations. Here is the chocolate-twist (lemon-twist coming soon!). It's a super close call if I like these or the original ones more. 

Ingredients:

Donuts
2 eggs
½ cup almond flour
¼ cup egg white protein powder
3 tbsp unsweetened cocoa powder
2 tbsp coconut flour
¼ cup Swerve
¼ tsp salt
2 oz cream cheese, softened
2 tsp baking powder
1 tsp vanilla
½ cup unsweetened cashew milk (or brewed coffee for a more chocolatey flavor)

Glaze
4 tbsp butter
1/4 cup Swerve
2 tbsp heavy whipping cream
1 tsp vanilla

Instructions:

1) Pre-heat the oven to 350 degrees. 

2) Separate 2 eggs. Set aside the egg yolks. Whip the egg whites to stiff peaks in a standing mixer and set aside.

3) In a large mixing bowl, mix together the dry ingredients (almond flour, egg white protein powder, cocoa powder, coconut flour, Swerve, salt, softened cream cheese and baking powder).

4) Add wet ingredients (egg yolks, vanilla and unsweetened cashew milk). Stir until mixed very well. 

5) Gently combine stiff egg whites with the mixture. Stir gently until mixture is all one color.

6) Spray two donut pans with coconut spray and fill each mold about 2/3 of the way.

7) Bake in the oven for around 11 minutes or until firm to touch. Let donuts cool in pan for 5 minutes, and then take them out of their molds and set on a paper towel.

8) Melt butter in a frying pan and then add the Swerve. Once the Swerve is fully melted, add the heavy whipping cream and vanilla, and stir over heat for roughly 5 minutes. 

9) Remove glaze from heat. If you want a thicker glaze, wait at least 45 minutes to apply glaze (it thickens up as it cools). If you prefer a thinner glaze, dip each donut once in the frying pan, applying glaze to both sides. If you like donuts very sweet, you can dip each donut twice. If you are not a fan of sweet donuts, you can spoon glaze over donuts rather than dipping them in.

10) Enjoy!

  2. First we love these donuts and thank you for the recipe!

    Is there a reason the glsze on the chocolate donuts has less heavy cream than on the regular?
    It calls for 1/2 cup on regular and w TBSP on the chocolate.
