Ingredients

• 2 cups Whole wheat flour
• 1 packet Active dry yeast
• 1 cup Warm water
• 0.5 cup Unsweetened almond milk
• 0.25 cup Unsalted butter, melted
• 2 tablespoons Erythritol
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 1 large Egg
• 1 package Sugar-free vanilla pudding mix
• 1 cup Whipping cream
• 0.5 cup Sugar-free dark chocolate chips (optional, for topping)
• 1 quart Vegetable oil (for frying)

Directions

Step 1

In a large bowl, dissolve the yeast in warm water and let it sit for about 5 minutes until it's frothy.

Step 2

Add almond milk, melted butter, erythritol, salt, vanilla extract, and the egg to the yeast mixture. Mix until well combined.

Step 3

Gradually add the whole wheat flour to the wet ingredients, mixing until a soft dough forms.

Step 4

Transfer the dough to a lightly floured surface and knead for about 5-7 minutes until smooth and elastic.

Step 5

Place the dough in a lightly greased bowl, cover, and let it rise in a warm place until doubled in size, about 1 hour.

Step 6

While the dough is rising, prepare the cream filling. Whisk together the sugar-free vanilla pudding mix and whipping cream until thick and creamy. Refrigerate until ready to use.

Step 7

Once the dough has risen, punch it down and roll it out on a floured surface to about 1/2 inch thickness.

Step 8

Use a donut cutter or a round cookie cutter to cut out donuts. Place them on parchment paper-lined baking sheets, cover with a clean kitchen towel, and let them rise again for about 20 minutes.

Step 9

Heat vegetable oil in a deep fryer or large pot to 350°F (175°C).

Step 10

Carefully fry the donuts a few at a time for about 1-2 minutes on each side, or until golden brown. Remove from the oil and drain on paper towels.

Step 11

Allow the donuts to cool slightly before filling them with cream.

Step 12

Using a piping bag fitted with a round tip, fill each donut with the prepared sugar-free cream.

Step 13

If desired, melt the sugar-free dark chocolate chips and drizzle over the top of the filled donuts.

Step 14

Serve immediately or store in an airtight container for up to 2 days.
