Keto Pumpkin Glazed Donuts w/Pumpkin Spice Glaze
30 mins prepServes 6
SHHHHH….It’s our little secret! There is no way anyone would know these were keto! Sugar-free spice, and everything nice, these donuts are super moist and sweet (and even easier to make!) And the pumpkin spice glaze? YUM!
Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease the 6 wells of a silicon mini-donut mold with nonstick spray. Then get either a blender, food processor, or immersion blender (with matching ‘cup’). See PRO TIPS above for links to my product recommendations!
FOR THE BATTER To a blender, food processor, or the cup from an immersion blender, add in the eggs, vanilla extract, maple extract, heavy cream, pumpkin purée, granulated sweetener, almond flour, baking powder, pumpkin spice, and xanthan gum. Blend the ingredients for at least 30 seconds to ensure everything is fully combined and smooth. You may need to use a spoon/spatula to scrape the sides of the blender/cup halfway through to ensure an even blend.
FOR BAKING For stability in the oven, place the donut mold onto a large baking sheet. This also makes it easier to get the donuts out of the oven! Using a spoon, scoop some of the batter out of the blender, and carefully drizzle it into the silicon wells. It helps to drizzle a little at a time into each well, to make sure the batter is evenly distributed between all six wells. Note, the batter will rise while baking, so the wells should only be filled about ¾ of the way up. You can use the back of the spoon to level the tops.
Once filled, firmly tap the baking sheet on the countertop to level the batter inside of the molds and remove any bubbles. Place the entire baking sheet into the oven and bake for 22 to 25 minutes, or until the donuts are slightly browned and “bouncy” to the touch. Take the baking sheet out of the oven and let the donuts cool while you make the glaze.
FOR THE GLAZE To a small bowl, add the allulose, heavy cream, and pumpkin pie spice. Use a spoon or small whisk to gently combine the ingredients. Then, place the bowl into the microwave and warm for 20 seconds, or until the mixture is just starting to bubble around the edges. Whisk the mixture very well for a full 30 seconds to form a smooth and thick glaze. Set the glaze aside for 3 to 4 minutes to cool down. You’ll know the glaze is ready once it’s thickened up slightly and has gotten sticky. Once the donuts are fully cooled, drizzle the glaze over each donut with a spoon or small whisk. Note: DO NOT glaze until the donuts are COMPLETELY cooled.
ENJOY!
