Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1.5 cups almond flour
- 0.25 cup coconut flour
- 2 tablespoons cocoa powder
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 cup unsalted butter, melted
- 0.75 cup erythritol or your preferred keto sweetener
- 3 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon apple cider vinegar
- 1 teaspoon red food coloring
- 4 ounces cream cheese
- 2 tablespoons heavy cream
- 0.25 cup powdered erythritol
- 0.5 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a donut pan with non-stick spray or butter.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the almond flour, coconut flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt until well combined.
In a separate bowl, beat together the melted butter and erythritol until well blended.
Add the eggs to the butter mixture one at a time, beating well after each addition.
Mix in the vanilla extract, apple cider vinegar, and red food coloring until the wet mixture is smooth and uniformly red.
Gradually fold the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients until well combined, making sure not to over mix.
Spoon or pipe the batter into the prepared donut pan, filling each cavity about two-thirds full.
Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into a donut comes out clean.
Allow the donuts to cool in the pan for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
To make the cream cheese frosting, beat together the cream cheese, heavy cream, powdered erythritol, and vanilla extract until smooth and creamy.
Once the donuts are completely cool, spread or pipe the cream cheese frosting on top.
Serve immediately or store in the refrigerator for up to three days.
