Low Carb Maple & Bacon Donuts (Gluten & Sugar Free)

Tasty low carb cake donuts
with Maple & Bacon!

Donut Ingredients:
coconut oil cooking spray
3 large eggs, at room temerature
1/4 Lakanto Golden sweetener
1/4 cup Lakanto Baking sweetener**
1/4 cup almond milk, at room temperature
1/4 cup butter, melted
1 teaspoon maple extract
1 cup ultrafine almond flour
1/4 cup coconut flour
2 teaspoons baking powder
1/4 teaspoon salt
Glaze Ingredients:
1/3 cup Lakanto Powdered Sugar sweetener
2 tablespoons heavy cream
1 teaspoon maple extract
maple syrup
4 pieces of crisp bacon, diced

Ingredients:
Preheat oven to 325*. Lightly grease 9 donut cups with the cooking oil spray. Add the eggs, sweeteners, milk, butter and maple extract to a high power blender or food processor and blend until smooth.
Sift together the flours, baking powder and salt. Add the sifted ingredients to the food processor. Blend until all are well combined and smooth. Divide the batter evenly between the 9 donut cups, filling each about 3/4 full. 
Bake 15 to 20 minutes, or until the donuts become golden around the edges and are firm to the touch. Let cool in the pan for 15 to 20 minutes. Gently loosen the edges with a butter knife to remove the donuts from the pan. Finish cooling completely on a wire rack. 
Whisk together the powdered sweetener, cream and maple extract. Whisk in 1 teaspoon of maple syrup at a time, until the glaze is a consistency for dipping. Dip each donut into the glaze and return to the wire rack. Sprinkle the diced bacon on top of the glazed donuts. Allow to set for 30 minutes. Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator.

**Lakanto Baking Sweetener has a finer texture than the regular Classic Sweetener. If you do not have the Baking Sweetener in your pantry, you can process the Classic Sweetener in a food processor, to create a finer texture.
