Servings: 32
Equipment
Ingredients
- 1 Cup Carbalose see post for flour alternatives (GF, AP, etc)
- ½ tsp Baking Powder
- ½ tsp Baking Soda
- 6 tbsp Splenda
- 6 tbsp Dutch Process Unsweetened Cocoa Powder
- 3 tbsp Butter
- 1 ounce Unsweetened Chocolate chopped
- 1 Egg
- ¼ cup Plain Yogurt Can sub in buttermilk or ¼ cup of milk + ¾ teaspoon of vinegar.
Instructions
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and baking soda. Then stir in the sugar alternative and cocoa powder.
- Next, in a microwave safe bowl or mug, melt together the butter and the unsweetened chocolate. Be sure to stir every 15 seconds to make sure that they melt together evenly. Set this aside as you work to allow this to cool down.
- To the large mixing bowl from the first step, stir in the egg and yogurt. Then stir in the melted chocolate and butter. Cover the bowl and place it into the refrigerator for at least a half hour.
- To make these donut balls, remove the batter from the refrigerator and use a tablespoon to scoop out enough batter to form the donut balls in your hands. If the batter seems sticky however, you can oil your hands to make it easier to work with are add a bit extra flour
- Lightly spray the basket of your air fryer with nonstick and preheat to 350 degrees. You may need to make more than one batch in order to keep the balls from touching in the basket. Bake these for 10-12 minutes or until they appear to be done (you can try using a toothpick to test them as it may be difficult to check for brownness due to color).
Recipe Notes
As mentioned, this recipe also calls for all purpose flour.
However, substituting lower carb flours is doable as well.
To make this low carb, use a low carb all purpose flour.
Also, to make this keto use a keto all purpose flour. Also mentioned above, to make this recipe gluten free, use an all purpose gluten free flour.
Also, if you are using Almond flour, please add an additional egg to the batter to aid in the binding process. I suggest anyone using any of the all purpose flour alternatives check the packaging to see if an additional egg or other binder for gluten free baking is needed as well.
This is a different product from the unsweetened cocoa powder that you may be more familiar with. Please check the label on the packaging to assure that you are using the correct product. Nutritional Information is only an estimate and can vary especially with ingredients that are used. See recipe post for details.
