We've come up with a nifty recipe for low-carb donuts - just 3 carbs per donut!
When we brought out our recipe for Lo-Doughnuts, we made a couple of suggestions for toppings to keep the calories and carbs as low as possible.
We'll we've revisited them and found the ultimate solution to getting a low carb glaze for your donut. The glaze is made from cream-cheese - sweetened and loosened with a little milk and with the tiniest smidgen of chocolate grated over (or flaked nuts). Think donut-meets cheesecake... not a bad combo and if you are on a low-carb diet and craving a 'nut, this is the recipe for you!

Lo-Dough , blitzed to fine crumbs - 1 large egg, beaten
