Ingredients
- Donuts:
- 1/3 cup (40 g) coconut flour
- 1/3 cup (60.67 g) Swerve Sweetener
- 3 tbsp cocoa powder
- 2 tbsp unflavored whey protein powder (or egg white protein powder)
- 1 1/2 tsp baking powder
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 3 large eggs
- 1/4 cup (56.75 g) butter, melted
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1/3 cup brewed coffee or water
- Glaze:
- 1/4 cup (45.5 g) powdered Swerve Sweetener
- 1 tbsp cocoa powder
- 2 tbsp heavy cream
- 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
- 1–1.5 tbsp water or cold coffee, as needed
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 325ºF (163ºC) and grease a donut pan well.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together coconut flour, sweetener, cocoa powder, protein powder, baking powder, and salt.
- Add in eggs, melted butter, and vanilla. Stir until combined. Add brewed coffee or water and mix until smooth.
- Divide batter evenly among donut wells. If using a 6-well pan, bake in batches if needed.
- Bake for 16–20 minutes, until firm to the touch. Let cool in pan for 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
- To make the glaze: In a shallow bowl, whisk together powdered sweetener and cocoa powder. Add heavy cream and vanilla and mix.
- Add water or cold coffee a little at a time until glaze is thin enough to dip, but not runny.
- Dip cooled donuts into the glaze. Let set for about 30 minutes before serving.
Notes
- Coffee enhances the chocolate flavor but can be replaced with water if preferred.
- Ensure donuts are completely cool before glazing to prevent melting.
- Store leftovers in the fridge in an airtight container for up to 5 days.
- Decorate with sugar-free sprinkles or chopped nuts for added texture.
