  3. Spoon the batter into the donut cavities, filling 3 ∕ 4 of the way full.
  4. Bake for 12-15 minutes.

Make the glaze:

  1. In a small bowl, stir together the melted butter, sweetener, and cocoa powder. Stir in 2 tbsp heavy cream to create a “pourable” consistency. Adjust the consistency with more heavy cream as necessary.

Top the donuts:

  1. Either dip the top halves of the donuts in the bowl of glaze, or drizzle the glaze over the top of the donuts.
