Yield 12

Number Of Ingredients 19

cooking spray
½ cup granulated sugar substitute (such as Swerve®)
2 teaspoons lemon zest
1 large egg, at room temperature
2 ½ tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
1 tablespoon freshly squeezed lemon juice
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
½ teaspoon lemon extract
½ cup almond milk, at room temperature
1 ¼ cups all-purpose flour
1 ¼ teaspoons baking powder
¼ teaspoon salt
2 tablespoons poppy seeds
1 ¼ cups powdered sugar substitute (such as Swerve®)
1 tablespoon freshly squeezed lemon juice
1 tablespoon almond milk, at room temperature
1 teaspoon lemon zest
¼ teaspoon vanilla extract
⅛ teaspoon salt

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Spray 2 donut pans with nonstick cooking spray.
  • Place granulated sugar substitute and lemon zest in a bowl. Mix until zest is fully coated with sugar. Add egg, butter, lemon juice, vanilla, and lemon extract. Add almond milk and mix until well incorporated.
  • Sift flour, baking powder, and salt together. Add to the sugar mixture. Fold in poppy seeds. Divide the batter evenly among the donut pans.
  • Bake in the preheated oven until a toothpick inserted into a donut comes out clean, 10 to 12 minutes. Cool in the pans for 10 minutes. Remove from the pans and cool completely.
  • While the donuts cool, make the icing. Mix powder sugar substitute, lemon juice, almond milk, lemon zest, vanilla, and salt together in a bowl. Set a rack over a cookie sheet lined with parchment paper. Dip donuts into the icing and place on the rack until glaze sets, 2 to 3 minutes.

The donuts were good, but I found them to be a bit too sweet. I would reduce the amount of sugar next time.

These donuts were a bit dry for my taste. I think I would add more milk or yogurt next time.
