It’s national donut day and what better way to celebrate is with keto cream filled donuts! So easy and totally gluten, grain and sugar free!
This low carb donut recipe is fairly simple and based off my donut holes! SO delicious.
If you want to make the simple treats, you can just use vanilla and sugar substitute but if you want to take it up a notch, I HIGHLY recommend adding in either OooFlavours ‘vanilla cupcake’ flavour or Skinny Syrup birthday cake syrup. I added the birthday cake flavour and it honestly tasted like a donut from a shop!
Make sure when you are deep frying to take all safety precautions. I deep fried these on low (but it depends on your stovetop to be honest). You want these to take at least 5-7 minutes to cook. If it browns in under 1-2 minutes then the heat it too high and the inside won’t be cooked properly.
Hope you all enjoy! These are my new favourite!
