Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1.5 cups almond flour
- 0.25 cup coconut flour
- 2 tablespoons cocoa powder
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoon baking soda
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 cup erythritol
- 0.5 cup unsweetened almond milk
- 3 large eggs
- 0.25 cup butter, melted
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon apple cider vinegar
- 1 teaspoon red food coloring
- 4 ounces cream cheese, softened
- 0.25 cup powdered erythritol
- 2 tablespoons heavy cream
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and lightly grease a donut pan with non-stick spray.
In a large mixing bowl, combine almond flour, coconut flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and erythritol. Whisk until well blended.
In another bowl, whisk together almond milk, eggs, melted butter, vanilla extract, apple cider vinegar, and red food coloring until well combined.
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and mix until a smooth batter forms.
Spoon the batter into a piping bag or a plastic storage bag with the tip snipped off and pipe the batter evenly into the prepared donut pan.
Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into a donut comes out clean.
While the donuts are baking, prepare the cream cheese glaze by beating together the softened cream cheese, powdered erythritol, and heavy cream until smooth and fluffy.
Allow the donuts to cool in the pan for about 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
Once the donuts are cool, spread the cream cheese glaze evenly over the top of each donut.
Serve and enjoy your low-carb delight!
