Greek Honey Puff Donuts
A keto-engineered take on loukoumata, the Greek honey-puff donuts traditionally soaked in syrup — here the dough is built from almond and coconut flour with cream cheese for richness, fried until golden, then finished with a sugar-free monk-fruit syrup, cinnamon and crushed walnuts instead of honey.

Instructions
1
Whisk the almond flour, coconut flour, baking powder and salt together in a bowl until there are no lumps.
2
Beat the egg with the softened cream cheese, allulose and vanilla extract until smooth, then fold into the dry mixture to form a thick, sticky batter.
3
Heat the vegetable oil in a small pan to 175°C (350°F), using the thermometer to hold the temperature steady.
4
Using two wet teaspoons, drop small balls of batter into the hot oil, frying in batches of 2-3 so the oil temperature does not drop.
5
Fry for 2-3 minutes, turning once, until the puffs are deep golden brown and cooked through, then lift out onto a wire rack lined with paper towel to drain.
6
Warm the monk-fruit extract with a tablespoon of water and the cinnamon in a small pan for 1 minute to make a light syrup, then drizzle over the warm puffs.
7
Scatter the chopped walnuts over the top and serve immediately while still warm.
