Ingredients

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.
  • In a mixing bowl, beat together the almond flour, cocoa powder, sugar substitute, xanthan gum, baking powder, baking soda, heavy whipping cream, eggs, vanilla and butter until well combined. Fold in ¼ cup chocolate chips.
  • Fill the sections of a well greased donut baking pan evenly with the batter.
  • Bake for 10-12 minutes until cooked through. Let the donuts cool.
  • Add remaining ½ cup baking chips and coconut oil to a microwave safe bowl and heat at 30 second intervals until completely melted and combined.
  • Dip the top of each donut into the melted chocolate, and place on a parchment lined baking sheet.
  • Place the baking sheet into the freezer for several minutes to set before serving.

Notes

The powdered sweetener used in the donut batter is 2x the sweetness of sugar. If desired, about ⅓ cup of Swerve or equivalent can be used in place of the 3 tablespoons monkfruit powdered sweetener.
For a change of glaze, use dark chocolate or white chocolate chips in place of the milk chocolate ones.
The ¼ cup milk chocolate chips can be omitted from the donut batter but they enhance the chocolate flavor.
Leftovers should be placed in an airtight container. They can be stored at room temperature for up to 5 days, refrigerated up to 3 weeks, or in the freezer for up to 5 months.
