Instructions
To Make the Keto Donuts
- Grease a 6-hole donut pan with coconut oil.1 teaspoon coconut oil
- Whisk together the dry ingredients (almond flour, baking powder, monk fruit sweetener, and sea salt) in a medium bowl.1 cup almond flour, 1 teaspoon baking powder, ¼ cup monk fruit sweetener, ¼ teaspoon salt
- Make a well in the center of the almond flour mixture and add the wet ingredients (vanilla extract, almond milk, and melted butter). Slowly add in the eggs one by one, stirring the mixture between each egg.¼ cup butter, 1 tablespoon vanilla extract, ¼ cup unsweetened almond milk, 2 large eggs
- As the batter is very wet, it is recommended to pour it into a measuring cup for easy pour. Then, pour the keto donut batter into the prepared 6-hole metal or silicone donut pan. Fill each donut mold as close to ¾ full as possible.
- Bake the keto donuts in the preheated oven for 20 minutes. The donuts are done when they are golden brown. Note: The center of the donuts may fill in, but that can be corrected once the donuts are cooled.
- Allow the donuts to cool for 5 minutes before removing from the molds. Then, remove the donuts from the donut pan. Allow the donuts to cool completely on a wire rack before adding the glaze (optional).
Optional Glaze
- In a small bowl, combine powdered sweetener, heavy cream, melted butter, and vanilla extract. Stir until the ingredients meld into a smooth, luscious glaze.¼ cup powdered sweetener, 1 tablespoon heavy cream, 1 tablespoon butter, ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
- Dip the cooled keto donuts into the glaze or artfully drizzle it over the tops with a piping bag.
- Give the glaze a few minutes to set on the donuts before diving in.
Notes
- Use a silicone pan for easy, no-stick clean-up.
- If you're a fan of texture, incorporate chopped nuts or unsweetened shredded coconut into the batter.
- Mix cocoa powder or keto chocolate chips into the batter and consider adding chocolate to the glaze for keto chocolate donuts.
- Experiment with different extracts such as almond or coconut to personalize the flavor.
- Instead of the optional glaze listed in this recipe, consider topping these keto doughnuts with the cream cheese frosting from my keto spice cake.
