Ingredients

Donuts

7 tbsp coconut flour
3 tbsp granular sweetener erythritol recommended
2 tbsp unflavored whey protein powder or egg white protein powder
1 tsp baking powder
1/4 tsp salt
3 large eggs
3 tbsp butter melted
2 tsp lemon zest
3 tbsp fresh lemon juice
1/2 tsp lemon extract
1/2 tsp vanilla extract
Water as needed

Glaze

1/4 cup powdered sweetener
2 tbsp heavy whipping cream
1 tbsp fresh lemon juice

Instructions

Donuts

Preheat the oven to 350ºF and grease 6 wells of a donut pan very well.
In a medium bowl, whisk together the coconut flour, sweetener, protein powder, baking powder, and salt.
Stir in the eggs, butter, lemon zest, lemon juice, lemon extract and vanilla extract until well combined. If the batter is very thick, add water a little bit at a time to thin it out a bit.
Divide the batter among the wells of the donut pan. Bake about 15 minutes, until the donuts are set and firm to the touch. Remove and let cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then flip out onto a wire rack to cool completely.

Glaze

In a small bowl, whisk together the powdered sweetener, heavy cream, and enough lemon juice to achieve a drizzling consistency. Dip the donuts in the glaze or drizzle overtop.

Notes

Storage Information: Store these donuts in a covered container on your counter for up to 3 days or in the fridge for up to a week. You can also freeze the donuts for several months.
