I went through the pain of making an account just to say how much I love this recipe!! Came out perfect - so chocolatey, moist, and delicate. Yum!! So glad I have this a try. This is going to be a staple treat for me!
Easy,to-go recipe..My family really loved it.The changes I made is 1) Used honey instead of maple syrup 2) Used cupcake pan (I don't have donut pan in home)..I have pics but not able to upload in mobile.
I was excited to see Chef John do a low-carb donut and I promptly made these over the weekend. I've been trying to follow a (somewhat) keto diet since the beginning of the year, so I did tweak this recipe by substituting the maple syrup with 1/4 cup of allulose. I also added a 1/2 teaspoon of xanthan gum to help with binding. Although not included in the recipe above, Chef John did add melted chocolate and toppings to his donuts and I used melted Lily's sugar free chocolate chips and unsweetened coconut for my toppings. The results were GREAT! I will say the dough was extremely sticky to work with and I was only able to get 5 donuts out of the recipe vs. 6, likely due to overfilling the donut tins and not being able to get every bit of the dough out of the piping bag. Donuts still tasted great 3 days after baking. Will definitely make again. Thanks!
Came out perfectly just like in the video. I would post a picture but allrecipes is horrid to use on mobile. The donuts came out a bit saltier than I'd prefer but that can be tweaked next time I make these.
I did not make any changes, other than to bake it a bit longer, because I was a little short on flour and the batter was runnier than in the video. Because of this, I did not bag and pipe it, just poured it in from a spouted container. I dipped the doughnuts in melted 65% chocolate and dipped half of those in chopped pecans.
This is a great recipe! The first time I made it, I followed the instructions and came out with light and tasty donuts. The second time, I swapped the cocoa for cinnamon and added a little vanilla. If possible, we liked them even more! Either way, I think these will probably be a weekly bake.
I don't know what I was wrong. Totally collapsed after baking.
I did exactly following this recipe. First time ever I failed Chef John recipe.
Easy gluten free recipe that is grandson approved! I will definitely make these again.
Used sugarfree maple syrup. Ended with a very bitter aftertaste.
