These sweet delights are not only delicious but also an excellent option for those looking to maintain stable blood sugar levels while indulging. So, let’s put on our aprons and start cooking!

A simple and indulgent recipe

I present to you a simple low GI recipe to make, requiring few ingredients and offering stunning results. Vanilla and almond powder fritters are a perfect combination of sweet flavors and a soft texture that will surely win you over.

Why opt for low Glycemic Index fritters?

You might be wondering why choose low glycemic index fritters. Well, the answer is simple: why deprive yourself when Candlemas or Mardi Gras come around? These vanilla fritters are prepared with ingredients that are slower to digest and absorb, which helps maintain stable blood sugar levels. Moreover, they are rich in nutrients, including proteins and fibers, making them a healthier option to satisfy your sweet cravings.

Healthy ingredients for comforting indulgence:

• T150 wheat flour: T150 wheat flour, more whole than traditional white flour, provides fibers and essential nutrients to our recipe.
• Almond powder: Almond powder adds a delicious hazelnut flavor and a moist texture to the fritters, while increasing their protein and healthy fat content.
• Baking powder: Baking powder allows the fritters to rise and achieve a light and airy texture.
• Eggs: Eggs act as a binder in the recipe, helping to give structure to the fritters.
• Liquid vanilla: Liquid vanilla adds a sweet and fragrant flavor to the fritters, making them even more irresistible.
• Unsweetened almond milk: Unsweetened almond milk adds moisture to the dough and a slight almond flavor, without adding extra sugar.
• Natural sweetener: Natural sweetener allows you to sweeten the fritters without increasing their glycemic index.

How to prepare these low GI vanilla fritters?

1. Prepare the ingredients by measuring and weighing each item according to the specified quantities.
2. In a large bowl, mix the T150 wheat flour, almond powder, and baking powder until you get a homogeneous texture.
3. In another bowl, beat the eggs with the liquid vanilla and unsweetened almond milk. Then add the natural sweetener according to your preference to achieve the desired level of sweetness.
4. Gently fold the liquid mixture into the dry ingredients until the dough is well combined. Be careful not to overmix to avoid getting a too dense texture.
5. Heat coconut oil in a pan over medium heat. Once the oil is hot, drop spoonfuls of batter into the pan, being careful not to overcrowd it.
6. Cook the fritters for a few minutes on each side until they are golden brown and slightly crispy. Use a spatula to carefully flip them.
7. Once cooked, remove the donuts from the pan and place them on a plate lined with paper towels to remove excess oil.
8. Dust your still warm donuts with a veil of powdered sugar or additional sweetener if desired, then enjoy them without delay!

My tips for successful vanilla fritters:

• Be careful not to overmix the dough to avoid getting a too dense texture.
• Use high-quality coconut oil for frying, as this will help give the fritters a deliciously fragrant flavor.
• Monitor the cooking of the donuts carefully to prevent them from burning and to achieve a beautiful golden color.

FAQ

Can I replace T150 wheat flour with another flour?
Yes, you can use other types of flour suitable for your diet. Spelt flour, buckwheat flour, whole wheat flour, and almond flour are good alternatives.

Can vanilla donuts be frozen for later consumption?
Absolutely! You can freeze the cooked donuts in an airtight bag. To reheat them, simply bake them in a preheated oven at 180°C for a few minutes or quickly reheat them in the microwave.

How to prevent the donuts from absorbing too much oil during cooking?
Make sure the oil is hot before adding the donuts to the pan. Do not overcrowd the pan by adding too many donuts at once, as this can lower the oil temperature and result in excessive oil absorption.

Can the dough be prepared in advance and stored in the refrigerator?
Yes, you can prepare the dough in advance and store it in the refrigerator for a few hours before cooking. Make sure to cover it with plastic wrap to prevent it from drying out.

How to know if the donuts are cooked inside?
To check if the donuts are cooked, you can use a toothpick or knife to poke them in the center. If they come out clean, the donuts are cooked inside.

Can other ingredients be added to the dough, such as fruits or chocolate chips?
Absolutely! You can customize the recipe by adding fresh fruits, dried fruits, chocolate chips, or other ingredients according to your preferences.

Is this recipe suitable for gluten intolerant people?
This recipe uses wheat flour, which contains gluten. However, you can experiment with gluten-free alternatives such as almond flour, coconut flour, or rice flour to adapt the recipe to the needs of gluten intolerant people.
