Shakeology Glazed Donuts with Cinnamon Sugar
Donuts are one of those fickle things that either turn out great or are a giant flop. Trust me, I’ve had plenty of both.
These Shakeology glazed donuts are the top of the top when it comes to donut success, however, A tried and true recipe that turns out beautiful every time.
Back before I was keto and low carb, I used to love going to the bakery and picking out a completely naughty and sugar filled donut with my kiddos. I spent a long time missing donuts until I decided to tackle the all elusive low carb and gluten free donut recipe!
The Vanilla Shakeology really helps bring it all together. That was the missing ingredient with all those failed attempts!
How to Make Shakeology Glazed Donuts
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.
Add the almond flour, Shakeology, powdered sweetener, baking powder, melted butter, eggs, 1/4 cup heavy whipping cream, 1 teaspoon vanilla extract and 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon in a mixing bowl, and beat on high until a smooth batter is formed.
Fill the sections of a donut baking pan to the top, and bake for 15-20 minutes until browned and completely cooked through. Let the donuts cool completely.
Add the 4 tablespoons of heavy whipping cream and 6 tablespoons of powdered sugar substitute to a mixing bowl, and beat on high until smooth and creamy.
Dip the top of the donuts into the glaze mixture, and set the donuts on a rack to allow the glaze to set.
Mix together the granulated sweetener and 1/2 teaspoon of cinnamon in a small bowl, and sprinkle it on top of the donuts before the glaze has completely set.
Are These Shakeology Donuts Low Carb or Keto Friendly?
Your traditional bakery donut is most definitely not low carb and not gluten free. But these Shakeology glazed donuts are both low carb and gluten free! Of course!
Made with almond flour, low carb sweeteners, and Shakeology, they are low carb all the way!
What to Eat With Vanilla Shakeology Glazed Donuts
I mean, do you NEED something to eat them with? Certainly not! I do like to have savory along with sweet in the morning, though, if I’m going to have something sweet.
I like to eat these with some scrambled eggs or even some keto maple bacon!
The most popular thing that goes alongside these amazing baked donuts is simply….. coffee!
Kitchen Essentials
A donut mold pan is a must. I rotate between using a standard donut pan like these ones or silicone molds like these ones. Both work just fine!
I find that it is easier to get the donuts out of the silicone ones, yet they hold their shape occasionally in the regular ones.
No matter which ones you have, your donuts will turn out fantastic.
Can I Make Low Carb Chocolate Frosting?
You sure can! In fact, jump on over to the keto chocolate donut recipe and use the frosting for that one! It will taste beautiful with these donuts as well!
Oooooh! What about a keto maple frosting? Head on over to the maple donuts with bacon recipe for a maple glaze.
How to Store Shakeology Glazed Donuts
You can easily store them in an airtight container in the fridge. That would assume you have leftovers, however. You can even keep them on the counter if they’ll be eaten up within a day or so. But the fridge is always your safest bet.
