Sugar Free / Gluten Free Donuts
You ever just want something different for breakfast? These donuts are pretty simple and the fact that they're gluten and sugar free is an added bonus
I like to mix it up and try different things and since I had extra bacon from last nights dinner I decided to incorporate it into the toppings. I ended up making a lemon dip, chocolate, and cinnamon sugar toppings. I'll post the dips at the bottom of the donut recipe
Gluten/Sugar Free Donuts
1 cup almond flour (I used Blue Diamond almond flour)
1/3 cup Truvia
2 tsp baking powder (gluten free)
1 tsp cinnamon
1/8 tsp salt (I use sea salt)
1/4 cup butter (melted)
1/4 cup almond milk (unsweetened)
2 eggs
1/2 tsp vanilla
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F and grease donut pan (I use Pam for baking)
Combine dry ingredients together and in a separate bowl melt the butter then mix in the remaining wet ingredients.
Add the dry ingredients to the wet and mix well.
Pour batter into donut pan filling about 3/4 full.
Bake for 15 minutes until golden brown.
Remove donuts from oven and allow to cool in the pan for a few minutes before transferring to a cooling rack
Toppings
Cinnamon Sugar - Mix approximately 1/4 cup Truvia with 1 tsp cinnamon (I tasted to make sure it was cinnamony enough and added a tad bit more) Brush donut with melted butter then dip donut in the cinnamon sugar.
Lemon Glaze- Juice of 1/2 a lemon and 1/3 cup Truvia - My lemon glaze ended up as more of a lemon syrup so it saturated the donut with lemon which ended up being very tasty. In the future I will add the juice to the truvia so I can monitor the thickness.
Chocolate Glaze - Melt 2 Tbs butter (you can use coconut oil too), add 2 tsp cocoa and 1 Tbs Truvia. Taste and see if you want more sweetness. I dipped the donut in the chocolate then dipped it in coconut and just sprinkled the bacon on top because it didn't dip so well.
Please note: all ingredients are approximates as I tend to taste it as I go and add a smidge of this and that, here and there. Sorry it's just how I roll.
