Servings: 12 mini donuts
Calories: 78
Ingredients
Donut Ingredients:
- 1/4 cup plain Greek yogurt
- 3 tbsp almond flour
- 3 tbsp ground golden flax (or additional almond flour)
- 2 tbsp coconut flour
- 2 tbsp Joy Filled Eats Sweetener (or see alternatives in recipe notes)
- 2 tbsp butter softened
- 1 egg
- 1 tsp lemon extract
- 1/2 tsp baking powder
- tiny pinch of salt
- 1/3 cup small frozen blueberries
Cream Cheese Glaze:
- 1 oz cream cheese softened
- 2 tbsp butter softened
- 2 tbsp Joy Filled Eats Sweetener (or see alternatives in recipe notes)
- 1/2 tsp lemon extract
- 1/2 tbsp heavy cream or half and half room temperature
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350.
- Combine all the ingredients for the batter except the blueberries and mix well. Divide between twelve mini donut molds. Press a few blueberries into each donut. Small blueberries work best.
- Bake for 25 min.
- Meanwhile, make the glaze. Combine all the ingredients. Put it into a piping bag or ziploc bag and cut a tiny part of one corner off.
- Cool the donuts and put them on a wire rack upside down. Drizzle the glaze over them. Store in the refrigerator. Warm in the oven or the microwave before serving to melt the glaze. I microwaved mine for thirty seconds.
Notes
Notes on Sweeteners:
I use my own blend of xylitol, erythritol, and stevia in my recipes. This is twice as sweet as sugar. It is comparable to Trim Healthy Mama Gentle Sweet and Truvia.
To sub in Swerve or Lakanto Monk Fruit use 1.5 times the amount of sweetener called for.
To sub in Pyure or Trim Healthy Mama Super Sweet use half the amount of sweetener called for.
Substitutions will work in most recipes. They may not work in candies, such as caramel.
