Ingredients

Cinnamon Sugar Coating

Instructions

  • Preheat your Dash mini donut maker or donut pan, and spray it with coconut oil.
  • Blend the cottage cheese, egg, and vanilla extract until completely smooth.
    2 tablespoons full-fat cottage cheese, 1 large eggs, 1/4 teaspoon Vanilla extract - sugar free
  • Add to the blender the dry ingredients: coconut flour, sweetener, baking powder, cinnamon, and salt.
    4 teaspoons coconut flour, 5 teaspoons Swerve (granulated), 1/2 teaspoon baking powder, 1/4 teaspoon Ground Cinnamon, 1 Pinch salt
  • Blend until smooth. The batter should be thick but spoonable. If too thick, add a splash of coconut milk.
  • Spoon about 2 teaspoons of batter into each donut mold.
  • Bake for 3–5 minutes in the mini maker, or about 10 minutes in the oven at 320°F (160°C), until golden brown.
  • While donuts cool, melt butter and mix Swerve and cinnamon in a shallow bowl.
    1 tablespoon Swerve (granulated), 1/2 teaspoon Ground Cinnamon, 1 tablespoon butter, unsalted
  • Dip the top of each donut in melted butter, then roll in cinnamon-sugar mix.
  • Let it sit for a few minutes before serving or enjoy it warm!

Notes

  • The batter will be thicker than the almond flour version, don’t thin too much, or they won’t hold shape.
  • These donuts rise less than almond flour ones but are softer and have a cake-like crumb.
  • Great option for nut-free, gluten-free, high-protein diets.
  • You can air fry these instead of baking. Try 160°C (320°F) for about 10 minutes.
  • Swap coconut flour with almond flour - recipe: Cinnamon Cottage Cheese Donuts with Almond Flour
  • These pair well with whipped cream, coffee, keto Nutella, or vanilla ice cream.
