Ingredients

Scale

Jelly Filling

  • 1/2 cup raspberries (or chopped strawberries)
  • 1 tbsp water
  • 1/4 cup powdered Swerve Sweetener
  • 1/4 tsp glucomannan

Mini Muffins

  • 1/2 cup coconut flour
  • 1/2 cup Swerve Sweetener
  • 1/4 cup unflavored whey protein powder
  • 1 1/2 tsp baking powder
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 4 large eggs
  • 1/4 cup butter, melted
  • 1/4 cup water (more if needed)
  • 3/4 tsp vanilla extract
  • Powdered sweetener for rolling

Instructions

  1. Prepare Jelly Filling: In a small saucepan over medium heat, combine the raspberries and water. Bring to a simmer, then reduce heat to low and cook until the berries soften enough to be mashed with a fork. Mash the berries, then stir in the powdered Swerve Sweetener and glucomannan. Allow the filling to cool completely.
  2. Preheat Oven and Prepare Pan: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a metal mini muffin pan thoroughly. If your pan isn’t very non-stick, consider using silicone liners or parchment muffin liners to prevent sticking.
  3. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together the coconut flour, Swerve Sweetener, unflavored whey protein powder, baking powder, and salt until evenly combined.
  4. Add Wet Ingredients: To the dry mixture, add the eggs, melted butter, water, and vanilla extract. Stir well until the batter is combined. The consistency should be thick but easily stirrable; if too thick, add 1 to 2 tablespoons more water.
  5. Fill Muffin Cups and Bake: Divide the batter evenly among the prepared mini muffin cups. Bake for about 15 minutes, or until the muffin tops are firm to the touch and a toothpick inserted comes out clean.
  6. Cool Muffins: Remove the muffins from the oven and let them cool completely in the pan before handling.
  7. Assemble Donut Bites: Once cooled, use a small sharp knife to cut a small cone-shaped piece out of the top of each mini muffin. Cut off the top of the cone (the muffin ‘lid’) and set aside. Fill the hollow with the cooled raspberry jelly filling, then replace the muffin lid on top.
  8. Finish: Roll each filled mini muffin in powdered sweetener to give them the classic jelly donut appearance.
  9. Optional Decoration: For an authentic look with jam oozing out the side, pipe a small amount of raspberry filling into the side of the donut bite.

Notes

  • Use fresh or frozen raspberries; if using frozen, thaw before cooking.
  • Glucomannan is a natural thickener helping the jelly set—ensure to mix it well.
  • Adjust water quantity in the batter to achieve the right consistency; it should be thick but not too dry.
  • Use silicone or parchment muffin liners if your pan is not non-stick to prevent sticking.
  • For a more pronounced donut look, pipe a little jelly on the side after assembly.
