Step by Step Instructions

1. 1

   In a small bowl, add finely diced zucchini, cinnamon, lemon juice and apple flavoring. Add more or less apple flavoring to taste. Mix and set aside.

   For this step

   • 1 zucchini, peeled & diced
   • 1 teaspoon cinnamon
   • 2 teaspoon lemon juice
   • 1/4-1/2 teaspoon apple flavoring

   Add the dry ingredients to a medium bowl. Mix until combined.

   For this step

   • 2 cups almond flour
   • 1/2 cup unflavored or vanilla protein powder
   • 3 tablespoons sugar-free sweetener
   • 2 1/2 teaspoons baking powder

4. 4

   Fold in apple flavored zucchini mixture.

5. 5

   Add lard to a small non-stick skillet and heat to medium heat. Add enough lard to cover the donut almost halfway. Scoop about a 1/4 cup of the fritter dough into the skillet. You can swirl the oil in the pan to help coat the donuts as they cook. Flip once golden brown on the bottom (about 3-5 minutes) and fry the other side until golden brown.

   Remove from skillet and place on a paper towel or wire rack to cool.

   To make the apple fritter glaze, add confectioner’s Swerve, heavy cream and vanilla to a small bowl. Mix to combine. Microwave for 20 seconds to get a thin consistency if needed.

   For this step

   • 1/2 cup powdered sugar-free sweetener
   • 2 tablespoons heavy cream
   • 2 teaspoon vanilla extract
8. 8

   Drizzle or dip the top of your apple fritter donut into the glaze and place on a wire rack to set.
