There is such a delight to Donuts, going to a donuts shop, opening the front door, hearing the bell, smelling the aroma wafting in the air, sweetness, chocolate, hints of cinnamon, coffee. It really is an experience.

Now what if I could tell you that experience doesn’t have to be so detrimental to your waist line?

What? Say it ain’t so?!

Sour Cream Donuts

Established January 2013 from Rich Mind Empty Pocket, AKA Cyrena Nutrition, AKA SourCreamDonuts.com Yes, we are the same person/company. Dig in my friends!

(updated 3/17/14)

Recipe:

Dry Ingredients:

2/3 cup coconut flour

1/2 cup erythritol

1/2 tablespoon baking powder

1/2 teaspoon sea salt with iodine (regular salt works fine too)

Wet Ingredients:

1/2-3/4 cup melted butter

1/2 cup sour cream

4 tablespoons heavy cream

3 extra large eggs (if you do not use extra large eggs your batter may get chunky, you must add more liquids to help with this)

1/2 teaspoon vanilla

Directions:

Mix dry together, then mix wet ingredients together, mix them all together.

(If your batter is a little on the dry side don’t be afraid to add some water or more heavy cream, coconut flour can be tricky to bake with at first.)

After you have mixed the dry and wet ingredients together you MUST get it in the donut pan/maker immediately. The longer this mixture sits the dryer it will become. You might need to add water to the batter after each batch.

The consistency should be like a thick pancake batter.

Coat your donut maker with some coconut oil or butter.

Fill each donut hole up.

Follow donut maker instructions.

Remove and cool.

Now here is where the creativity comes in!!! What topping would you prefer? I LOVE ganache

Ganache Recipe

Melt low carb cocoa chocolate and slowly add equal portions heavy cream in saucepan, mix until thoroughly combined and delicious looking.

Add in a splash of vanilla and some erythritol (if you are using dark unsweetned chocolate). Add to taste.

Dip each donut into the warm ganache and let cool.

Now DIG in!

Other Topping options:

Dip in lowcarb ganache!

Or make a lemon glaze, a vanilla glaze or a erythritol/cinnamon topping.

Get creative!
