Ingredients
  

  • 1 ¾ cups all-purpose flour (210g)
  • ½ cup granulated sugar substitute (100g)
  • 1 tablespoon baking powder
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • 1 large egg, at room temperature
  • ½ cup unsweetened almond milk (120ml), at room temperature

  4. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and mix gently until just combined.
  5. Transfer batter into a piping bag and fill each donut cavity two-thirds full.
  6. Bake for 10-12 minutes until edges are golden and a toothpick comes out clean.
  7. Cool the donuts for 5 minutes in the pan, then transfer to a wire rack.
  8. Warm the jelly if needed, then fill each cooled donut using a piping bag.
  9. Mix sugar substitute and cinnamon in a bowl, then roll each filled donut in the mixture to coat.
  10. Serve immediately and enjoy!

Notes

These donuts are best enjoyed fresh but can be stored in an airtight container. They can be refrigerated for up to 3-4 days if filled.
