Single Serve Keto Donut

Step by Step Instructions

1. 1

   In a small bowl, whisk together almond flour, protein powder, sweetener, baking powder, xanthan gum and salt.

   For this step

   • 1/4 cup almond flour
   • 1 tablespoon protein powder
   • 1 teaspoon sugar-free sweetener
   • 1/4 teaspoon baking powder
   • 1/4 teaspoon xanthan gum
   • pinch of salt
2. 2

   Stir in melted butter, sour cream and hot water. Let the dough sit for 2-3 minutes while you heat up the oil.

   For this step

   • 1 tablespoon unsalted butter, melted
   • 1/2 tablespoons sour cream
   • 1/2 tablespoon hot water
3. 3

   Add enough lard to your smallest skillet to cover the donut at least halfway (about 1/2 inch). Heat over low.

   For this step

   • lard
4. 4

   Roll the dough into a ball and place it on a sheet of parchment paper. Use your index finger to punch a hole in the center, then move your finger in small circles to shape the donut. Make the hole a little wider than you think it needs to be. The donut puffs up as it cooks and the hole will close in on itself.

5. 5

   Toss a small piece of leftover dough from the bowl into the skillet. If it sizzles, the oil is ready.

6. 6

   Use a spatula to lift the donut from the parchment paper and lower it into the oil. Swirl or tilt the skillet gently to help the oil cover the sides. After about 1-2 minutes, check if the underside is golden brown. Flip carefully and cook for another 2-3 minutes until golden. Remove and place on a paper towel lined plate.

7. 7

   Mix powdered sweetener with 1-2 teaspoons milk and vanilla. Add more milk if needed to get a pourable glaze. Dip the top of the donut in the glaze, then add sprinkles.

   For this step

   • 2 tablespoons powdered sugar-free sweetener
   • 1-2 teaspoons milk of choice
   • 1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract
   • sprinkles
