BLUEBERRY DONUTS
Ingredients:
For the Donuts:
1 1/2 cups almond flour (finely milled)
1/2 cup coconut flour
1 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1/4 teaspoon sea salt
1/2 cup sugar substitute (like Stevia or Swerve)
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/2 cup non-fat Greek yogurt (substitute for full-fat sour cream to reduce points)
3 eggs, room temperature
1 cup fresh or frozen blueberries
1/4 cup unsweetened applesauce (substitute for butter to reduce points)
For the Lemon Glaze:
1 tablespoon light butter, melted
3/4 cup powdered sugar substitute (like Swerve Confectioners)
1/4 teaspoon sea salt
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
1-2 tablespoons lemon juice (freshly squeezed)
1-2 tablespoons hot water
Instructions:
For the Donuts:
Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease two 6-cavity donut pans with cooking spray.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the almond flour, coconut flour, baking powder, sea salt, and sugar substitute until well combined.
Add the non-fat Greek yogurt, applesauce, vanilla extract, and eggs one at a time to the dry ingredients. Using an electric mixer, mix the batter until fully incorporated.
Gently fold in the blueberries.
Transfer the batter to a large zip-lock bag, cut the tip, and pipe the batter into the prepared donut pans. Fill each cavity just to the rim.
Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted comes out clean.
Allow the donuts to cool completely before removing them from the pan.
For the Lemon Glaze:
In a medium-sized bowl, add the melted light butter.
Add the powdered sugar substitute, vanilla extract, sea salt, and lemon juice. Mix well.
Gradually add the hot water, one tablespoon at a time, until the desired consistency is reached.
Dip the cooled donuts into the glaze and place them on a baking rack to set.
Storage:
Store the donuts in the refrigerator in a sealed container for up to 5 days. You can also freeze them in a freezer-proof container for up to 3 weeks.
