Ingredients
  

  • 1 1/2 cups fine almond flour
  • 2 tablespoons coconut flour
  • 1/3 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 2/3 cup granulated erythritol or a 1:1 keto sweetener blend
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/4 teaspoon fine sea salt
  • 3 large eggs, room temperature
  • 1/2 cup unsweetened almond milk (or other low-carb milk), room temperature
  • 1/3 cup avocado oil or melted coconut oil
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/4 cup sugar-free chocolate chips (optional but delicious)
  • 2 tablespoons sugar-free chocolate chips
  • 1 tablespoon coconut oil
  • Pinch of salt

Method
 

  1. Prep the pan: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease a 6-cavity donut pan with oil or nonstick spray. If using a silicone pan, still grease lightly.
  2. Mix dry ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk almond flour, coconut flour, cocoa powder, sweetener, baking powder, baking soda, and salt to break up any clumps and create an even mixture.
  3. Combine wet ingredients: In a separate bowl or measuring cup, whisk eggs, almond milk, oil, and vanilla until smooth and fully combined.
  4. Bring it together: Pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients. Stir with a spatula until just combined. The batter will be thick but scoopable.
  5. Fold in chips: Add sugar-free chocolate chips, if using, and fold gently to distribute evenly.
  6. Fill the pan: Spoon or pipe the batter into the donut cavities, filling each about 3/4 full. Smooth the tops for even baking.
  7. Bake: Bake for 14–18 minutes, or until the donuts are set and a toothpick inserted into one comes out with a few moist crumbs.
  8. Cool: Let the donuts cool in the pan for 5–7 minutes, then carefully transfer to a rack to cool completely. Keto donuts firm up as they cool.
  9. Make the glaze (optional): Melt the chocolate chips with coconut oil in a microwave-safe bowl in 20–30 second bursts, stirring in between, until silky. Add a tiny pinch of salt.
  10. Glaze and set: Dip the tops of the cooled donuts into the glaze, then place on the rack. Let the glaze set for 10–15 minutes before serving.
