Craving donuts while eating low carb or keto? Don’t worry, we’ve got you covered with this amazing low-carb donut recipe. And we make it even more awesome with a sugar-free chocolate glaze. 

Here’s how we cut the carbs. 

• We use almond flour instead of wheat flour. Replacing all-purpose flour with finely ground blanched almond flour cuts the carb count drastically while upping the nutritional content. Almond flour has more vitamins and minerals, and is a great source of fiber. 
• We replace sugar with monk fruit sweetener, a natural sugar-free sweetener that’s popular on low-carb diets. Also called monk fruit extract, this sweetener has zero calories and is 100-250 times sweeter than sugar. You can use other sweeteners, such as erythritol and stevia, if you prefer.
• We use unsweetened chocolate. You can buy 100% cacao chocolate bars in the baking section. Another option is to use dark chocolate (70% cacao or higher). If you go the dark chocolate route, you can cut back the amount of sweetener used in the chocolate glaze. 

Those on the keto diet will get a nice fat boost from these donuts, too. We increased the fat (and flavor) by using butter, FBOMB Coconut Oil, and eggs. 

One other reason to make these donuts? They’re baked in the oven, so you won’t have to deep fry them individually. That’s not only more time consuming, but leaves a bigger mess.

Ingredients Needed

• Almond flour
• FBOMB Coconut Oil
• Almond milk
• Monk fruit sweetener
• Baking powder
• Butter
• Vanilla extract 
• Eggs
• Unsweetened chocolate

Tips for Making Low-Carb Donuts

• Use a non-stick metal donut pan. Grease it well so donuts can be easily removed. Silicone donut pans tend to be more challenging. We used this donut pan for our recipe. 
• Fill the donut pan ¾ of the way up. You don’t want too much or too little batter. Too much and the batter will overflow. Too little and your donut will be flat. 
• Bake until the tops are dark golden brown. Almond flour donuts will be on the darker side when fully cooked. Taking them out when it’s a light golden brown means they are likely undercooked in the middle. The donuts will pull away slightly from the pan when cooked enough. 
• Let donuts cool completely in the pan before removing. Resist the temptation to remove them too early! Let them cool completely before making the attempt. When removing the donuts, first run a knife around the hole to loosen it before taking them out.
