METHOD

1. Preheat the oven to 375F/190C/Gas 6 and lightly grease a 6-cavity nonstick donut pan.
2. In a mixing bowl, stir together almond flour, K Nutri Collagen Peptides, coconut flour, monk fruit sweetener, baking powder, flaxseeds, if using, salt, and baking soda. Add eggs, butter, and vanilla extract and whisk until thoroughly mixed.
3. Divide the mixture among the 6 cavities and gently smooth the tops.
4. Bake for 10 to 12 minutes or until golden brown. Let cool slightly in the pan before transferring to a wire rack to cool to a room temperature.
5. For the chocolate glaze, combine the chocolate chips and butter in a small bowl and place over a small saucepan with simmering water; let melt for about 4-5 minutes, stirring frequently. Drizzle the glaze over the cooled donuts. Let the glaze set before serving.
6. For the Matcha powder glaze, in a bowl, mix together the butter, sweetener and Matcha powder, then whisk in enough milk to get a smooth slightly runny glaze. Drizzle over the cooled doughnuts. Let the glaze set before serving.
