This morning I woke up with the hankering for a donut and a cup a joe.

So I set out to make some delicious low carb donuts.

I was also feeling fruity so I decided to go with a lemon flavored donut.

I based my recipe on a great lemon doughnut that I found on Joy Filled Eats. She used a cream cheese frosting, but like I say, I was feeling fruity, so I mixed up a blueberry glaze to dip them in instead. And it worked out great. They are just as tasty as normal sugary donuts, but these little guys only have 1g net carb per donut. Not to shabby, eh?

Now that these donuts are in my life, I will never let them go.

Instructions

1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F and spray a mini donut pan with cooking spray.

2. Mix all the ingredients together in a large bowl.

3. Fill the wells of a donut pan with the batter.

4. Bake for 20-25 minutes until firm and lightly browned. Let the donuts cool for a few minutes before gently removing them from the pan.

  I'm talking about net carbs per mini donut. Your body doesn't process fiber, so we don't count it when we are calculating carbs. Here's more info: https://www.prospectmedical.com/resources/wellness-center/carbs-and-net-carbs

Can you use kefir in place of yogurt? If so, would it require a thickener like high maize cornstarch? (I'm not paleo, just have a lot of food intolerances.)

  I haven't tried this substitution, but it should work. I don't think you need to mess around with corn starch.
