Instructions

Preheat oven to 350°F.
Sift all dry ingredients, smoothing out any lumps. Whisk together in a bowl
Add the egg, oil and vanilla and mix until it comes together as a thick dough.
Use a piping or zip lock bag to pipe dough into the pan. Bake for 20 minutes.
My pan held 6 donuts, so I piped the rest of the dough after the first batch was finished baking.
Cool donuts on rack and make the glaze.
In a small sauce pan, combine the water, sweetener and oil.
Cook on medium low heat for about 5 minutes while whisking the glaze in the pan. Add in vanilla.
I used tongs to dip the donuts into the glaze and let them dry a bit on parchment paper before dipping again.
If the glaze starts to harden in the pan, you can reheat for a minute or two to melt.
Let the donuts fully cool and the glaze will harden a bit on the outside to become sweetly crispy.

Notes

*I prefer using two different types of sugar substitute. The combination gives a more realistic flavor without an aftertaste.

*If you can, use a lighter colored pan so that the donuts won't brown too much. If you don't have a light pan, watch them carefully. You can move the pan to a higher rack in the oven or lightly cover donuts with aluminum foil.

*If you don't have a piping bag or piping tip, place 1/2 the dough into a zipper style bag and cut off a small portion of a corner. Twist the bag so that the dough pushes down without air pockets, squeeze the bag and start filling your donut pan.
