Sfenj Doughnuts

Sfenj Doughnuts are a delightful and airy Moroccan treat, reimagined for a keto lifestyle. These low-carb doughnuts are perfectly spiced and make for an indulgent yet guilt-free snack or dessert.

Ingredients

• Almond flour - 100 grams
• Coconut flour - 30 grams
• Baking powder - 1 teaspoon
• Egg - 1 large
• Greek yogurt - 50 grams
• Vanilla extract - 1 teaspoon
• Cinnamon - 1/2 teaspoon
• Erythritol - 2 tablespoons
• Salt - a pinch
• Oil for frying - 500 ml

Steps

1. In a mixing bowl, combine the almond flour, coconut flour, baking powder, erythritol, cinnamon, and salt.
2. In a separate bowl, whisk together the egg, Greek yogurt, and vanilla extract until smooth.
3. Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and mix until a dough forms.
4. Cover the dough and let it rest for 10 minutes to allow the ingredients to meld.
5. Heat the oil in a deep pan over medium heat until it reaches 180°C (356°F).
6. While the oil is heating, shape the dough into rings or balls, about the size of a golf ball.
7. Once the oil is hot, carefully drop the shaped dough into the oil, frying in batches to avoid overcrowding.
8. Fry each piece for about 2-3 minutes on each side, or until golden brown.
9. Remove the doughnuts and place them on paper towels to absorb excess oil.
10. Serve warm, optionally dusted with a little erythritol or cinnamon.
