Ingredients
For the Donuts:
1/2 cup granulated erythritol (like Swerve)
3 eggs
3 Tablespoons ground flaxseed
2 Tablespoons oil
2 Tablespoons unsweetened coconut milk
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
Stevia drops, to taste (about 1/2 dropper used)
1/2 cup + 2 Tablespoons gluten-free chocolate brown rice protein powder
2 Tablespoons coconut flour
1 Tablespoon cocoa powder
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/4 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 teaspoon salt
For the Sugar-Free Protein Glaze:
3 Tablespoons powdered Swerve
2 Tablespoons vanilla (or chocolate) gluten-free brown rice protein powder
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
2 Tablespoons unsweetened coconut milk or water
Instructions
For the Donuts:
-
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and lightly grease a donut pan with oil or cooking spray.
-
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together erythritol, eggs, ground flaxseed, oil, coconut milk, vanilla extract, and stevia drops until smooth.
-
In a separate bowl, combine the gluten-free chocolate brown rice protein powder, coconut flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
-
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, stirring until fully combined. The batter will be thick.
-
Spoon or pipe the batter into the donut pan, filling each cavity about 3/4 full.
-
Bake for 18-20 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a donut comes out clean.
-
Allow the donuts to cool in the pan for 5 minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.
For the Protein Glaze:
-
In a small bowl, whisk together powdered Swerve, protein powder, vanilla extract, and coconut milk (or water) until smooth.
-
Once the donuts have cooled, drizzle the glaze over the top of each donut and let it set for a few minutes before serving.
Notes
Store donuts in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days, refrigerate for up to 1 week, or freeze for up to 3 months.
If you don’t have a donut pan, use a muffin tin, though the texture may slightly differ.
To make these vegan, substitute eggs with flax eggs (1 tbsp ground flaxseed + 3 tbsp water per egg) and use plant-based protein powder.
