How To Make Low-Carb Glazed Donuts

Prep Time: 15 min

Bake Time: 12 min

Total Time: 27 min

Yield: 6 donuts

Ingredients

For the Donut Batter:

• 1 cup super-fine almond flour1/4 cup powdered monk fruit sweetener (or erythritol)1 tsp baking powder2 tbsp butter, melted2 large eggs (room temperature)1 tsp pure vanilla extract

For the Sugar-Free Glaze:

• 1/3 cup powdered monk fruit sweetener (or erythritol)1 tbsp heavy cream1–2 tsp warm water1/2 tsp pure vanilla extract

Step-by-Step Instructions

Step 1: Prep and Whisk

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease a standard 6-cavity silicone or non-stick donut pan with coconut oil or baking spray. In a medium mixing bowl, vigorously whisk together the almond flour, baking powder, and powdered sweetener until completely uniform and free of lumps.

Step 2: Build the Wet Batter

In a separate small bowl, whisk your eggs, melted butter, and vanilla extract together. Pour the wet mixture directly into the dry ingredients. Stir with a rubber spatula until a smooth, thick batter forms.

Step 3: Pipe with Precision

Because low-carb batter is quite thick, spooning it into a donut pan can get messy. To make them look professionally bakery-made, spoon your batter into a plastic Ziploc bag. Snip off one of the bottom corners with scissors, and gently pipe the batter evenly into the 6 donut cavities.

Step 4: Bake to Gold

Bake on the center rack for 12 to 14 minutes. You will know they are ready when the edges turn a pale golden brown and the tops spring back up immediately when lightly pressed. Remove from the oven and let them cool inside the pan for 10 minutes before gently popping them out onto a wire cooling rack.

Step 5: Whisk the Shatter-Glaze

While the donuts are finishing their cool-down, whisk together the powdered sweetener, heavy cream, vanilla, and 1 teaspoon of warm water in a shallow bowl. Whisk until it looks like smooth, liquid satin. Dip the top of each cooled donut into the glaze and place it back on the rack. The glaze will set into a crisp, sweet shell within 5 minutes!

🙋‍♀️ Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Can I make these if I don’t own a donut pan?

Yes! You can easily spoon this exact batter into a standard muffin tin to make vanilla donut-muffins. Just reduce the baking time slightly to about 10 to 12 minutes and keep an eye on them.

Why does the glaze feel "cool" in my mouth?

Erythritol has natural chemical properties that cause a slight cooling sensation on the tongue when it dissolves. To minimize this, ensure you are using a high-quality powdered monk fruit blend, or substitute it with allulose sweetener, which dissolves completely without any cooling effect.

How should I store these?

Because the glaze contains heavy cream, store any leftovers in an airtight container inside the refrigerator for up to 5 days. For the absolute best texture, let them sit on the counter for 10 minutes to reach room temperature before eating.
