Equipment
- Donut Pan
Ingredients
For the Donuts
- 1/2 cup Greek yogurt
- 2 large eggs
- 2 tbsp avocado oil (or melted butter)
- 1 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 cup almond flour
- 1/2 cup unflavored whey protein powder (isolate preferred)
- 1/2 cup Swerve Granular
- 1 1/2 tsp baking powder
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 2 to 4 tbsp water
For the Frosting
- 2 ounces cream cheese well softened
- 2 tbsp butter well softened
- 1/4 cup Swerve Confectioners
- 2 to 3 tbsp heavy cream
- 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
- Keto sprinkles if desired
Instructions
- For the Donuts:
- 1. Get Ready to Bake: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease 8 sections of a donut pan to ensure your treats don't stick.
- 2. Wet Ingredients First: In a large bowl, gently whisk together the Greek yogurt, eggs, avocado oil (or melted butter), and vanilla extract until they're nicely combined and smooth.
- 3. Add the Dry Goodies: Now, add the almond flour, whey protein powder, Swerve sweetener, baking powder, and a pinch of salt to the wet ingredients. Whisk everything until you have a smooth, thick batter. If it's too thick, add water, one tablespoon at a time, until it's just pourable.
- 4. Fill and Bake: Carefully spoon the batter into each greased donut well, filling them about three-quarters full. Bake for 10 to 15 minutes, or until the tops feel firm when gently pressed.
- 5. Cool Down: Let these delicious donuts cool completely in the pan before moving them.
- For the Frosting:
- 1. Creamy Base: While your donuts cool, let's make the creamy frosting! In a medium bowl, beat together the softened cream cheese and butter until wonderfully smooth.
- 2. Sweeten It Up: Gradually beat in the Swerve Confectioners sweetener until it's fully blended.
- 3. Perfect Consistency: Next, slowly beat in the heavy cream until your frosting reaches a perfectly spreadable consistency. Finally, mix in the vanilla extract.
- 4. Decorate & Enjoy: Once your donuts are cool, generously spread this delightful frosting over each one. For an extra touch of fun, sprinkle with keto-friendly sprinkles if you like!
