    I bought a little 1 lb bag of erythritol at our local health food store for $27 :o

    I wonder if you can bake these. I HATE deep frying stuff. Not because I fear fat but because I don't have a deep fryer and I always get splatted with grease. Yes I use a grease splatter guard, but always end up getting hit. Skills I tell ya.

    I saw in the comments that she tried baking and didn't like the texture. I don't have a fryer and am really bad at frying things myself so I was looking for the same info!

    I might try baking next time but I do think they need to be fried. They are a mushy batter so you have to be delicate. I fried in crisco in my cast iron, you could not deep fry they would fall apart. I bought a great value stevia at Wal-Mart it's a mix of erythritol and stevia and is delicious.

    All in all pretty easy and tasty.

    @jessicalchf thank you far sharing the recipe, I made apple pie yesterday and I still feel sick from it, and other things. I really wanted something seasonal that would work. These are perfect.

    those look sooo yummy. Would they freeze/keep well? I know I'd want to eat more than one, however. I've got everything on hand except the cider... looks like a weekend project.

    I don't think they would freeze well. The notes on the recipe day they would keep in the fridge a couple days.

    @auntstephie321 take a look at the research on what is in Crisco. I am not sure weight loss and better health is very likely using Crisco for human food.

    It's what I had on hand, it's never steered me wrong when making pie crust. I guess the same thing could be said about many of the foods we consume.

    I was thinking more about your health. Your finished product looks great however.

    Is that an older corelle plate pattern? :) Looks lovely, I'm scared to try dessert type recipes even with stevia in them. I'm afraid it will make me crave the real stuff!

    That's the same reason I've never even made a sweet fat bomb. I'd eat the whole darn batch right off and it would gateway me into a feeding frenzy.

    Just looking at sweet recipes give me the hangries. I put 2 different PB cookies recipes into MFP last night. My oldest son likes to bake and wanted to make PB cookies we could all enjoy. Just thinking about the PB cookies was killing me. I told him he should hold off on that.

    I try not to dwell on recipes or food porn, it gets me craving so I have to go chew some gum to keep me from going Cookie Monster on food.

    yes it is, I don't even know where the plate came from, I think its one of SO's moms plates that we ended up with. they are classic.

    Ooooh.... I am making these for the holidays. I'm not sure if I'll try them, but they look good for the family. I'll make donut holes though since I don't have anything to deep fry in besides a frying pan.

    You kinda have to fry them in a pan or they'd fall apart. I think I'm gonna try donut holes next time to. I have a cake pop pan I might see if that works too bake them

    I'd be curious to see how the cake pop donuts turn out.

    This time I baked them in my cake pop pan for twenty minutes at 350. Maybe a little too long cuz they are a little dark on the bottom but not burned. I like them this way much better, less oily than frying and easier too.

    I actually followed the recipe exactly and took the donuts to a tailgate party today. They were pretty good but not good enough to make me binge. Even people who are not low carbing it thought they were pretty good. Make no mistake, these are not Dunkin Donuts. They had nice apple flavor and not too sweet. I made them with splenda baking and fried them in Canola oil. I liked the coconut flour as it isn't as grainly as the almond flour I've been getting. I wouldn't bother if I wasn't going to some place where the temptation would be overwhelming.

    I like the idea of the donut holes above. They would be a lot less messy to prepare
