Ingredients
Scale
Dry Ingredients
- 1 ½ cups almond flour
- ½ cup granulated erythritol
- 1 Tablespoon cocoa powder
- ½ teaspoon baking powder
- ¼ teaspoon salt
Wet Ingredients
- 2 large eggs
- ¼ cup unsweetened almond milk
- 2 Tablespoons melted coconut oil
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 tablespoon red food coloring
Instructions
- Preheat and Prepare: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a doughnut pan thoroughly to ensure the doughnuts release easily after baking.
- Mix Dry Ingredients: In a medium bowl, whisk together the almond flour, granulated erythritol, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt until well combined.
- Mix Wet Ingredients: In a separate bowl, beat the eggs, then add the unsweetened almond milk, melted coconut oil, vanilla extract, and red food coloring. Whisk until the mixture is smooth and uniformly colored.
- Combine Ingredients: Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients bowl. Stir gently but thoroughly until the batter reaches a smooth, consistent texture without lumps.
- Fill the Doughnut Pan: Spoon or pour the batter evenly into the prepared doughnut pan, filling each cavity about 3/4 full for best results.
- Bake: Place the pan in the preheated oven and bake for 15 to 20 minutes. Check doneness by inserting a toothpick into a doughnut; it should come out clean when ready.
- Cool: Remove the doughnuts from the oven and allow them to cool completely in the pan before carefully removing. Optionally, apply your favorite glaze once cooled.
Notes
- Ensure doughnuts cool completely before glazing to prevent melting or runny glaze.
- Substitute erythritol with another keto-friendly sweetener like monk fruit sweetener if preferred.
- Red food coloring is optional; natural beet juice can be used for color but may alter moisture slightly.
- Use a silicone doughnut pan for easier release and cleanup if available.
- Store doughnuts in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days or refrigerate for up to a week.
