Ingredients

Scale

Dry Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup Wholesome Yum Blanched Almond Flour
  • 1/2 cup Besti Monk Fruit Allulose Blend
  • 1/4 cup Whey protein powder
  • 3 tbsp Dutch processed cocoa powder
  • 2 1/2 tbsp Psyllium husk powder
  • 1 1/2 tsp Baking powder
  • 1/4 tsp Sea salt

Wet Ingredients

  • 3 tbsp Unsalted butter (melted)
  • 2 large Egg whites (at room temperature)
  • 1/2 tsp Vanilla extract
  • 1/4 cup Boiling water

Glaze

  • 1/3 cup Sugar-Free Milk Chocolate Chips
  • 1 tbsp Coconut oil (melted)

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven and Prepare Pan: Preheat your oven to 350°F (177°C). Generously grease a nonstick metal donut pan to prevent sticking.
  2. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, combine almond flour, Besti Monk Fruit Allulose Blend, whey protein powder, Dutch processed cocoa powder, psyllium husk powder, baking powder, and sea salt. Stir well to mix evenly.
  3. Add Wet Ingredients: Stir in melted unsalted butter, egg whites, and vanilla extract until a uniform dough forms.
  4. Add Boiling Water and Mix: While beating at low speed with a hand mixer, slowly pour in boiling water for about one minute. The dough will absorb the water. Avoid over-mixing. Let the dough sit for 5 minutes to thicken.
  5. Shape Donuts: Divide the dough into six equal parts. Using oiled hands, roll each portion into a log and place it into the donut pan, sealing the ends to form a circle. Smooth the tops and repeat with all six donuts.
  6. Bake: Bake the donuts for 15-18 minutes until dark golden brown and a toothpick inserted comes out almost clean. Allow them to cool in the pan for 15 minutes.
  7. Remove Donuts: Run a small silicone spatula along the edges of the pan and around the donuts to loosen them gently. Slide the spatula underneath to release the donuts. Cool completely on a cooling rack or plate.
  8. Make Glaze: Using a double boiler on the stove, melt the sugar-free milk chocolate chips and coconut oil together, stirring until smooth. Remove from heat and let it cool for a few minutes until it thickens slightly but remains pourable.
  9. Glaze Donuts: Dip the rounded bottom side of each cooled donut into the glaze and swirl to coat. Allow the glaze to firm up as it cools before serving.

Notes

  • Ensure egg whites are at room temperature for better mixing and texture.
  • Do not over-mix the dough after adding boiling water to avoid tough donuts.
  • Use oiled hands to shape the donuts easily and prevent sticking.
  • Let the glaze cool just enough to thicken but keep it runny for an even coating.
  • Store donuts in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days or in the refrigerator for longer freshness.
