Homemade Gluten Free Donuts

Although these tasty keto donuts are made using almond flour, they are so similar to the regular donuts which are made with regular wheat flour. They have the same texture and taste even more delicious.

Why You'll Love This Recipe

• This is an easy gluten free donut recipe.
• Suitable for the whole family.
• The recipe is keto friendly, sugar free and low carb.
• Simple sugar free dessert or snack.

Ingredients

• Almond flour: almond flour gives the donuts the soft and fluffy texture. In this keto donut recipe you can't replace almond flour with coconut flour, because that will demand different quantity of ingredients.
• Eggs: make sure the eggs are at the room temperature.
• Baking powder: use good quality baking powder to give the donut a chance to rise well. Also, almond flour doesn't have the same ability to rise like the regular flour. So, make sure to use the right amount of baking powder.
• Vanilla extract: gives a wonderful smell and taste to any baking.
• Cinnamon powder: it is the main reason for the present taste of these keto donuts.
• Swerve: I prefer to use either swerve or erythritol in all my recipes.
• Butter: use unsalted butter. Also, make sure to melt it before using it.
• Salt: I believe that salt is so important in baking because it enhances and intensifies the flavors.
• Unsweetened almond milk: it helps the batter to be a little liquidy. Also, it gives the dount a better taste.

"See the recipe card below for more information about the ingredients and quantities."

Chocolate Glaze Ingredients

• Unsweetened cocoa powder
• Unsweetened almond milk
• Coconut oil
• Powdered erythritol

Variations & Substitutions

• Substitute almond milk for unsweetened coconut milk.
• You can use coconut oil instead of butter.
• Add in unsweetened chocolate chips such as in my recipe Keto Chocolate Chip Cookies.
• Add in some chopped nuts.
• If you like your donuts to be a bit spicy, add ⅛ teaspoon of ginger, nutmeg or Pumpkin spice.
• Add in some almond extract or apple extract.
• You can add some fresh fruits to the batter, such as chopped strawberry or blueberry.

How To Make Homemade Gluten Free Donuts (Keto)

One: Preheat the oven to 180C/356F and grease 12 hole donuts tin with butter.

Two: In a mixing bowl, whisk the eggs using a hand mixer until fluffy, add vanilla extract, almond milk and melted butter and keep mixing.

Three: Then, add the swerve and mix again.

Four: Add almond flour, baking powder, cinnamon powder and salt and stir well using a spatula.

Five: Next, pour the batter in the donuts baking pan. Bake for 14-15 minutes. Let cool on a cooling rack.

How To Make The Chocolate Glaze

One: Microwave the butter for 10-20 seconds until melted and let it cool.

Two: In a small mixing bowl, mix unsweetened cocoa powder and powdered erythritol.

Three: Add the melted butter and unsweetened almond milk to the previous mixture and stir well. Add one teaspoon vanilla extract  (optional).

Four: Dip the donuts into the chocolate glaze and sprinkle almond flakes on top.

How To Serve

Because these gluten-free donuts are healthy and sugar-free, you can eat it for breakfast with a cup White Chocolate Latte, Korean Strawberry Milk, Date Shake or Sahlab. Also, you can eat one at snack time with a delicious scoop of ice cream such as Honeycomb Ice Cream, Chocolate Marshmallow Ice Cream, Melon Ice Cream or Red Velvet Ice Cream.

Storage

It is hard to store these tasty donuts, especially if you have children in the home. It is likely to finish before putting the glaze on it. However, if you have leftovers, you can keep them in an airtight container in the fridge for 2-3 days.

Tips For Success

• Choose a good non-stick donuts baking pan to make sure the donuts come out perfectly.
• Don't overfill the donuts baking pan with batter, leave space for the donut to rise.
• Grease the pan very well, for not ruining the donuts while getting them out of the pan.
• Allow the donuts to fully cool in the pan and don't try to remove them from the baking pan while hot.

Topping Options

• There are so many topping options for donuts. In this recipe, I have used chocolate glaze and topped it with sliced almond.
• Also, you can brush the donuts with some melted butter then sparkle them with a mix of a teaspoon of powdered erythritol and a teaspoon of cinnamon powder.
• You can simply dip the donuts in melted unsweetened dark chocolate.
