SCD Recipe: Basic Vanilla Donuts

I love making SCD donuts. Though I’ve been on the Specific Carbohydrate Diet for nearly 20 years, I only recently started making donuts.

The recipe is similar to SCD muffin recipes I’ve made, but the donut pan gives the donut a firmer and slightly crustier outside, while the inside is cake-like.


This recipe and video is for my basic vanilla donuts. You can find my Lemon-Blueberry Donut recipe here. I like these because they are simple, light, and not too sweet. They are an easy breakfast when I’m in a hurry or good for a quick snack or dessert.

I like to use silicon donut pans. I’ve never had a problem with the donuts sticking and they are easy to clean. These donuts are sweetened with D’Vash Date Nectar, but you can also subsitute the same amount of honey.

Be sure to check out my demo video below for making these awesome donuts!
