Ingredients

Scale

Keto Donuts

  • 2 cups almond flour
  • ½ cup granular Swerve (or granulated keto sweetener of choice)
  • 1 teaspoon fresh baking powder
  • ¼ teaspoon table salt
  • 2 large eggs (at room temperature)
  • ¼ cup whole milk (at room temperature)
  • ¼ cup melted butter
  • ½ teaspoon pure vanilla extract

Vanilla Glaze

  • 1 cup Swerve Confectioners (or powdered keto sweetener of choice)
  • 2–3 tablespoons whole milk (or keto-friendly milk of choice, at room temperature)
  • ¼ teaspoon pure vanilla extract

Chocolate Glaze

  • 1 cup keto chocolate chips (Lily’s, ChocZero, etc.)
  • 1 teaspoon refined coconut oil

Instructions

  1. Preheat and prepare donut pan: Preheat your oven to 350° Fahrenheit. Position the oven racks so that the donuts will bake in the center for even heat distribution. Grease the donut pan thoroughly with cooking spray or butter, ensuring to coat all sides and edges to prevent sticking. Set the pan aside.
  2. Mix dry ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together the almond flour, granular Swerve, baking powder, and salt until the mixture is well combined and uniform.
  3. Add wet ingredients: Crack the eggs directly into the bowl with the dry ingredients. Add the melted butter, whole milk, and vanilla extract. Whisk everything thoroughly until the batter forms and is smooth without lumps.
  4. Fill donut pan: Pour or scoop approximately ¼ cup of the batter into each cavity of the greased donut pan. Be careful not to overfill to ensure proper shape and baking.
  5. Bake the donuts: Place the pan in the preheated oven. Bake for 10 minutes at first, then check for doneness. Continue baking in short increments, checking carefully until the donuts turn a deep golden-brown color.
  6. Cool donuts in pan: Remove the pan from the oven and allow the donuts to cool in the pan for 10 minutes, which helps them set before removal.
  7. Remove and cool completely: Run a butter knife gently around the edges to loosen the donuts. Carefully transfer them onto a wire cooling rack to cool completely before glazing.
  8. Prepare vanilla glaze: In a medium bowl, whisk together the Swerve Confectioners, 2-3 tablespoons of whole milk, and vanilla extract until the glaze is smooth and fully combined.
  9. Prepare chocolate glaze: Combine the keto chocolate chips and refined coconut oil in a microwave-safe bowl. Microwave at 50% power in 30-second increments, stirring after each, until chocolate is nearly melted. Stir until fully melted and smooth.
  10. Glaze the donuts: Turn each cooled donut upside down and dip the top half into your choice of glaze. Allow excess glaze to drip back into the bowl. Place the glazed donuts back on the cooling rack and let the glaze set for 5 to 10 minutes.
  11. Serve or store: Once the glaze has set, serve the donuts immediately or transfer them to an airtight container to keep fresh until ready to enjoy.

Notes

  • Ensure all wet ingredients like eggs and milk are at room temperature for better batter consistency.
  • Do not overfill the donut cavities to prevent batter overflow during baking.
  • If you prefer a sweeter donut, adjust the sweetener amount to taste.
  • Use a silicone donut pan for easier removal and less greasing required.
  • Glaze can be stored separately in the refrigerator and gently reheated before use.
  • These donuts are best consumed within 2-3 days stored in an airtight container at room temperature or refrigerated for longer freshness.
