Low Carb Chocolate Frosted Donuts are great if you’re watching your carbs or have food allergies.
Believe it or not, I like to watch my carbs. Although I absolutely love baking and all kinds of desserts, I actually only eat them on special occasions. Or at least I do try very hard to not eat my beloved goodies too often.
But sometimes a girl just needs something sweet! Enter these Low Carb Chocolate Frosted Donuts. They are completely sugar free and they’re also grain free. They aren’t as delicious as the real thing but when you are trying to diet and watch your carbs, these Low Carb Chocolate Frosted Donuts can REALLY HIT THE SPOT! They totally satisfy my donut craving which is a very good thing.
And they are very simple to make with the help of a donut pan like this.

You only need one bowl to mix up all the ingredients too. Then scoop into your greased donut pan and bake.
I used stevia sweetened chocolate chips (melted) to frost my cooled donuts. Lily’s Chocolate Chips are my favorite. Only 25 calories for 30 chocolate chips. And they taste so good!
Chocolate is very important to me.
I can’t live without my Lily’s chocolate chips. And this isn’t an ad by the way. You can usually find them at your local health food store like Whole Foods, Earth Fare or Sprouts. Or you can get them online.

Then add sprinkles for color. No, they’re not sugar free but so pretty! If you want them to be strictly sugar free, don’t add them.
I hope you will try my Low Carb Chocolate Frosted Donuts. They’re also gluten free and dairy free for anyone that has food allergies.
If you want to add a little extra sweetness, you could make them with real chocolate chips sweetened with sugar.
Enjoy!
