These bacon maple frosted donuts are perfect for people on the keto diet because they are both sweet and savory. With a creamy maple bacon frosting on top, these low-carb treats are made with almond and coconut flour to satisfy your cravings without going off track.

Ingredients: 1 cup almond flour. 2 tablespoons coconut flour. 1/4 cup erythritol or preferred keto-friendly sweetener. 1 teaspoon baking powder. 1/4 teaspoon salt. 2 large eggs. 1/4 cup unsweetened almond milk. 2 tablespoons melted butter or coconut oil. 1 teaspoon vanilla extract. 6 slices bacon, cooked until crispy. 1/4 cup sugar-free maple syrup. 1/4 cup powdered erythritol. 2 tablespoons heavy cream.

Instructions: Warm the oven up to 175F 350C. Use butter or non-stick spray to grease a donut pan. Put almond flour, coconut flour, erythritol, baking powder, and salt in a bowl and mix them together. Mix in the eggs, almond milk, coconut oil or butter that has been melted, and vanilla extract. Mix everything together well. Fill up each donut hole about three quarters of the way to the top with batter after the pan is ready. The donuts should be baked in a hot oven for 15 to 18 minutes, or until they are set and slightly golden. Get the maple bacon frosting ready while the donuts are baking. Pulse crispy bacon in a food processor until it is very small pieces. Sugar-free maple syrup, powdered erythritol, and heavy cream should all be mixed together in a bowl with chopped bacon. Mix until it's nice and smooth. After baking, let the donuts cool in the pan for a few minutes before moving them to a wire rack to cool all the way. Cover the donuts with the maple bacon frosting after they have cooled. Serve and have fun!

Ingredients: 300g tofu, diced. 2 cups mixed vegetables such as bell peppers, zucchini, and mushrooms, sliced. 1 onion, diced. 3 cloves garlic, minced. 1 can 400ml coconut milk. 2 tablespoons curry powder. 1 tablespoon soy sauce. 1 tablespoon maple syrup. 1 tablespoon vegetable oil.
