Ingredients
3 Eggs, separated
1/4 Cup Psyllium
1/4 Cup Almond Flour or Meal
1/4 Teaspoon Baking Powder
2/3 Cup Stevia or Other Sweetener
1/4 Teaspoon Baking Powder
2 Tablespoons Cocoa Powder
A Pinch of salt
A Dash of cinnamon
2 Tablespoons Melted Coconut Oil or Butter
For the ganache:
1/2 cup cacao butter (I'm sure regular butter or coconut oil will work too)
2 Tablespoons Cocoa Powder
1/2 Cup Sweetener of Choice
2 Tablespoons to 1/4 Cup Milk of Choice (the more milk you use, the less intense the ganache will be)
Optional Toppings
Chopped nuts
Coconut Shreds
Sprinkles of Choice
Dried Minced Fruit
Directions
In a small sauce pan mix ganache ingredients.
Stir over medium low heat until melted and well combined.
Transfer to a bowl wide enough to fit your donut through.
Cover and allow to cool in the fridge.
Preheat oven to 350 (325 if using a cupcake pan)
Beat egg whites with salt until stiff peaks are formed
In a separate bowl mix all other donut ingredients, it will be dry and crumbly
Gently fold egg whites into the mixture a little at a time until no streaks remain.
Portion out on a greased donut pan or lined baking sheet
Bake for 15 minutes or until they pass the toothpick test (bake for 5 minutes if using a cupcake pan)
Remove from heat and allow to cool.
When donuts are cooled, pull ganache from the fridge. It will have separated slightly, give it a stir to recombine. The texture should be thick enough to stir and slightly gloppy, think of a slightly runny pudding texture.
Dip the donuts into the ganach.
If using an additional topping, dip ganache covered donuts in topping
Place on a plate and chill in the fridge until the ganache hardens up a bit and enjoy!
These also make good "cake pop" alternatives. If you are feeling bold try piping a little sugar free jam or jelly inside the Long John version of these for a different flavor profile.
