Keto Recipe: Glazed Donut Muffins

For many years, our daughters have loved a recipe we found on Pinterest for glazed donut muffins, pre-keto. So, we swapped out a few ingredients to make them keto-friendly. These are definitely more muffin-like than donut-like but once you add the glaze you'll see and taste the similarities. This recipe has a lightly sweet, delicate flavor and includes a few spices but nowhere near those of a spice cake or gingerbread recipe. Enjoy!

Keto Glazed Donut Muffin

Keto Glazed Donut Muffins

• 1/2c butter, softened

• 1/2c brown sugar substitute (we use Swerve)

• 1/4 granular sweetener (we use Swerve or Splenda)

• 3 large eggs

• 1/2c sour cream

• 1/2c almond or coconut milk

• 1 tsp vanilla extract (we use Grandma's Pure Vanilla)

• 1/2 tsp ground cinnamon

• 1/2 tsp ground nutmeg

• 1/2 tsp salt

• 1-1/2 tsp baking powder

• 1/3c coconut flour (we use Republic of Coconut)

• 1-1/3c fine almond flour

1. Preheat oven to 375°. Combine all ingredients in a large mixing bowl and stir until well incorporated.

2. Pour into lined muffin tin or silicone muffin pan. Bake for 20 minutes, or until center comes out clean.

3. Cool for 20-30 minutes before dding the glaze (recipe below). These also freeze well. Makes 12 full sized muffins or 24 mini-muffins. Enjoy!

Sugar Glaze

• 3T butter

• 3T heavy cream

• 1c powdered sweetener (we use powdered Swerve)

1. Warm the butter and heavy cream but don't boil (or microwave for 30-60 seconds)

2. Whisk all of the ingredients in a small mixing bowl until smooth.

3. After the muffins have cooled for 20-30 minutes, dip the tops into the glaze. Allow the glaze to dry/harden before dipping them a second time. See picture above.

Maple Glaze

• 3T heavy cream

• 1c powdered sweetener (we use powdered Swerve)

• 1/2 tsp maple extract

1. Whisk all of the ingredients in a small mixing bowl until smooth.

2. After the muffins have cooled for 20-30 minutes, dip the tops into the glaze. Allow the glaze to dry/harden before dipping them a second time.

TIP: Warm the glaze in the microwave for a few seconds in between muffins and you will get a smoother, thicker topping, plus you'll only have to dip them once. See pictures below.
