Keto Donut Hole Recipe

 Ingredients

For the Donuts

• 30 g Almond Flour
• 1/3 tsp Xanthan Gum
• 3/4 oz Butter
• 1 tbsp Erythritol
• 1/4 tsp Salt
• 1 Egg
• 1/2 tsp Vanilla Extract
• 1 tsp Baking Powder

For the Vanilla Glaze

• 1/3 cup Erythritol powdered
• 1/2 tsp Heavy Cream
• 1/3 tsp Vanilla Extract
• 1 tbsp Water if needed

Instructions

To Make the Donuts

• Preheat the oven to 430°F / 220°C and line a baking pan with parchment paper.
• In a mixing bowl combine the flour with the xanthan gum, salt, Erythritol and baking powder.
• Melt the butter over low heat, add the vanilla and fold in the flour mixture mixing constantly to incorporate. Keep mixing with a spatula or wooden spoon for 2-3 minutes until a dough is formed and you can easily shape it into a ball that holds its shape. Add a little water if needed, one tablespoon at a time.
• Transfer into a bowl and allow to reach room temperature before adding the egg and mixing it with an electric mixer until an elastic dough is formed.
• Cover with a tea towel and let it rest for 15-20 minutes.
• Shape into bite sized balls with your hands and place on the prepared baking pan.
• Bake for 10 minutes at 430°F / 220°C then lower the temperature to 355°F / 180°C and continue to bake for 20 minutes until they have risen into golden donut balls.

To Make the Vanilla Glaze

• Sift the powdered Erythritol in a mixing bowl adding the heavy cream, vanilla extract, and water (if needed), gradually until you get a thick yet pourable glaze.
• Roll the donuts into the glaze, place in a serving plate and drizzle with any remaining glaze.
