    Gluten FreeLow Carb

    These peanut flour donuts are very light and “donut like”.   They are very moist and the best low carb and gluten free donut I’ve baked to date.

    It has been a while since I have baked any donuts and most of mine are made with coconut flour.  So, I thought that I would try a batch with peanut flour since the Chief Taster always loves the results that peanut flour yields.  As I was greasing up the tin I was laughing to myself that who are we kidding calling these donuts.  Aren’t they just a baked cake in a donut shape?   A donut is made with a yeasty dough and deep fried.  That taste surely cannot be really replicated.  My first bite into one of these peanut flour donuts made me eat my words.  Then I had another bite of the donut just to make sure.     Once the Chief Taster got his hands on them, it was everyone for themselves!

    I made two batches of these peanut flour donuts with one being plain peanut flour and the other had cocoa powder added to it.   Both were delicious and we didn’t have a favourite between us.  They are equally as yummy as each other.  Next time I might try a marbled flavour to combine the best of both peanut flour donuts together.

    Peanut Flour Donuts

    These peanut flour donuts were dipped in a mixture of melted chocolate, coconut oil and cream cheese.  Then a few sprinkles of grated chocolate were added for decoration.  The topping is up to you but I recommend it!  If you wanted to keep the carbs down then replace the chocolate with cocoa powder.  Or you could glaze them with a simple topping of melted coconut oil with cocoa powder.

    Unbelievably, a few peanut flour donuts made it through to the next morning.  They kept well in the fridge and made a delicious morning snack.   Reach for that donut tin and make yourself a batch of healthier donuts!

        It's the powdered peanut butter. It's great for baking and not just for smoothies!

      Hi! Two questions for you:
      1) Will this recipe turn out if PURE stevia extract is used instead of the sweetener you use?
      2) Can the coconut milk be substituted with any nut milk, like almond?

      Thanks!

        Pure stevia extract should still work and other nut milk is good to use too.
