But, before move into next section, let us hear Jessica’s story..

My name is Jessica, and I enjoy eating donuts a lot!

My family will have a smaller seder dinner this year,

so I thought that sugar free chocolate donuts would be a fun dessert idea.

In a test batch, I halved the recipe and they are OUTRAGEOUSLY GOOD!

To make a glaze, I added some cream and butter.

This is outstanding! I’m excited to enjoy a few more this weekend

Let’s jump right in!


Keto Donuts

Various low carb flours can be used to make keto donuts…

…such as almond, coconut, sesame, and sunflower.

Almonds are the most readily available fruit today…

…so it is used for today’s recipe.

Making your own almond flour is possible…

…but grinding it to a fine powder will be more difficult.

My preferred brands are Anthony’s…

…and Bob’s Red Mill for the finest almond flour. 

Sweetener choice is also a matter of personal preference.

Swerve, which is erythritol, is one of the best brands…

…on the market and one of our favorites. 

As well as Pyure, I also like Lakanto, which is a monk fruit sweetener. 

To determine your preference, you can simply swap…

…and experiment with different sweeteners in recipes. 

Perhaps you are wondering, what is keto?

“The ketogenic diet is a high-fat, adequate-protein, low-carbohydrate diet that in medicine is used mainly to treat hard-to-control (refractory) epilepsy in children. The diet forces the body to burn fats rather than carbohydrates.”

According to Wikipedia

Keto doughnuts are a delicious sugar-free breakfast or low-carb snack.

They’re the perfect Saturday morning indulgence:

delicious sugar free chocolate donuts. 

The low carb donuts in this recipe are moist, soft, and sweet to your taste.

This sugar free chocolate donut recipe is so simple to follow. 

If you want, you can make them in a stand mixer…

You don’t need to worry about shaping the donuts – it’s simple!

With an inexpensive donut pan, your donuts will be perfectly round.

The donut batter needs to be mixed first…

It is necessary to mix the donut batter first…

…before making sugar free chocolate donuts. 

Combining almond flour, coconut flour, baking powder…

…and salt first will ensure all of the dry ingredients are well blended.

Then, in a separate bowl, combine the wet ingredients:

…the eggs, melted butter, and vanilla extract.

Stir the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients.

Last but not least, fill the donut cavities with batter.

If you want the best results, fill the cavities about 34 full.

Sugar Free Chocolate Donuts Ingredients 

These keto donuts are made with low-carb flours such as almond and coconut flour.

Almond Flour

Almond flour is the base of these keto-friendly donuts. 

One of the best low-carb alternatives to regular wheat flour is almond flour.

I always keep a bag of almond flour…

…in my pantry since I started the ketogenic diet.

When baking keto donuts, I recommend using an almond flour…

…made from blanched almonds (with the skins removed).

If you can, purchase almond flour with a super-fine grind…

…this will give you the best texture when finished.

Keep extra almond flour in the refrigerator…

…or freezer so that it stays fresh longer.


Coconut Flour

Another keto-friendly, high-fiber flour is coconut flour…

…which is commonly used in gluten-free, grain-free and low-carb baking.

The first time you bake with coconut flour, you may have some trouble. 

Coconut flour absorbs liquids like crazy due to its high fiber content.   

Consequently, recipes using coconut flour tend to have a higher ratio…

…of wet ingredients like eggs, almond milk, or water.

In the same way as almond flour…

…coconut flour will keep fresher if it is kept in the refrigerator.


Erythritol Sweetener

This keto donut recipe is sweetened with Erythritol…

..which is a sugar-free sweetener made from erythritol.  

The sugar alcohol erythritol is naturally found in fermented foods…

…and fruits in small amounts.

Swerve is my favorite keto sweetener because it tastes great…

…and measures one-to-one like sugar. 

Swerve is available in granulated and confectioner’s versions. 

Typically, I bake with granulated Swerve…

…and make the icing with confectioner’s Swerve.


Sugar Free Chocolate Donuts Tips 

It’s pretty simple to make these keto donuts. 

It’s a pretty straightforward and simple recipe. 

Here are some tips for achieving the best results:

  • Donuts should be cooked in a non-stick pan.
  • Spray non-stick spray well on the pan.
  • After the donuts have cooled in the pan, remove them.  Warm keto and gluten-free baked goods tend to be fragile.  However, they will firm up as they cool.

This is important…


How to Store Keto Donuts

To keep leftover donuts fresh…

…store them in airtight containers at room temperature.

Keep them in an airtight container in the fridge…

Ingredients

  • 1 cup / 100g almond flour or ground almonds
  • 40 g / 1.4 oz unsweetened chocolate melted (3 tbsp)
  • 40 g / 1.4 oz butter, very soft 3 tbsp
  • 3 tbsp cocoa powder unsweetened
  • 4 eggs
  • ⅓ cup / 55 g powdered sweetener (So Nourished)
  • 4 tbsp heavy / double cream
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract

For the sugar free chocolate glaze:

  • 60 g / 2.1 oz unsweetened chocolate
  • 8 drops stevia or 2 tsp powdered erythritol

Instructions 

  • Pre-heat your oven to 175 degrees Celsius / 350 degrees Fahrenheit
  • Combine the butter, cream and sweetener in a bowl or food processor. Mix in the eggs and vanilla until well-combined. Add the melted unsweetened chocolate, cocoa powder, almond flour, and baking powder last. Make a smooth batter by blending all the ingredients. 
  • Pour batter into a well-greased donut pan.  My donut pan is silicone. Avoid overfilling and losing the all-important hole!
  • Bake for 13-15 minutes, or until done.
  • Melt the chocolate in a water bath (place a smaller bowl with the chocolate inside a larger bowl filled with boiling water. The heat will gently melt the chocolate). To achieve the desired sweetness, add stevia. Let it cool down a little before you touch it.
  • Then dip the cooled donuts into the chocolate (do it twice if you’d like a thicker glaze) and chill until it sets.
