Equipment
Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons full-fat cottage cheese
- 1 large egg
- ½ cup almond flour
- 5 teaspoons Swerve (granulated)
- 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/4 teaspoon Ground Cinnamon
- 1 Pinch salt
- 1/4 teaspoon Vanilla extract - sugar free
Cinnamon Sugar Coating
- 1 tablespoon Swerve (granulated)
- 1/2 teaspoon Ground Cinnamon
- 1 tablespoon butter, unsalted
Instructions
- Preheat your Dash mini donut maker (donut pan) and spray it with coconut oil.
- Blend the wet ingredients: cottage cheese, vanilla, and egg until smooth in a food processor.2 tablespoons full-fat cottage cheese, 1 large egg, 1/4 teaspoon Vanilla extract - sugar free
- Add the dry ingredients: almond flour, sweetener, cinnamon, baking powder, and salt. Blend until the batter is smooth.½ cup almond flour, 5 teaspoons Swerve (granulated), 1/2 teaspoon baking powder, 1/4 teaspoon Ground Cinnamon, 1 Pinch salt
- Check the texture. A thinner batter rises better, so if it looks too thick, add a splash of almond milk.
- Add about two teaspoons of batter to each mold.
- Cook until golden brown. Donuts will be very soft at first, but will firm up as they cool.
- Mix cinnamon and sweetener in a small bowl. Dip the top half of each donut in melted butter, then into the cinnamon-sugar mixture.1 tablespoon Swerve (granulated), 1/2 teaspoon Ground Cinnamon, 1 tablespoon butter, unsalted
Notes
- You can air fry these instead of baking. Try 160°C (320°F) for about 10 minutes.
- For best results, let the donuts cool fully before coating with cinnamon "sugar".
- Swap almond flour with coconut flour - recipe: Cinnamon Cottage Cheese Donuts with Coconut Flour
- These pair well with whipped cream, coffee, keto Nutella, or vanilla ice cream.
