Ingredients
- 2 cups whole wheat flour
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoons salt
- 0.75 cups milk
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
- 1 egg, beaten
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 tablespoons sugar substitute (such as erythritol)
- 3 cups vegetable oil, for frying
- 2 tablespoons powdered sugar substitute
Directions
Step 1
In a large bowl, whisk together the whole wheat flour, baking powder, salt, and sugar substitute until well combined.
Step 2
In a separate medium bowl, mix together the milk, melted butter, beaten egg, and vanilla extract until the ingredients are thoroughly combined.
Step 3
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir with a wooden spoon or spatula until a smooth dough forms.
Step 4
Lightly flour a clean surface and roll out the dough to a thickness of about 1/4 inch.
Step 5
Cut the dough into small squares, about 1.5 inches on each side, and set aside on a floured baking sheet.
Step 6
In a large, heavy-bottomed pot, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat to 350°F (175°C). Use a kitchen thermometer to ensure the temperature is accurate.
Step 7
Carefully drop a few mini dough squares into the hot oil, ensuring not to overcrowd the pot.
Step 8
Fry the beignets for about 1-2 minutes on each side, or until they are golden brown and puffed up.
Step 9
Using a slotted spoon, remove the beignets from the oil and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to drain any excess oil.
Step 10
Repeat the frying process with the remaining dough squares.
Step 11
Once all beignets are fried and slightly cooled, dust them generously with the powdered sugar substitute.
Step 12
Serve warm and enjoy your sugar-free mini beignets!
