Preheat your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit (175 degrees Celsius). Grease a donut pan with non-stick cooking spray.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together almond flour, unsweetened cocoa powder, erythritol, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
In another bowl, mix unsweetened almond milk, eggs, vanilla extract, melted butter, and apple cider vinegar until well combined.
Gradually add the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and mix until the batter is smooth and no lumps remain.
Spoon the batter into a piping bag or a plastic zip-top bag with a corner cut off to pipe the batter into the prepared donut pan, filling each mold about 3/4 full.
Bake in the preheated oven for 10 to 12 minutes or until the donuts are firm to the touch and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Allow the donuts to cool in the pan for about 5 minutes, then carefully transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Enjoy the donuts as is or dust with a bit of additional erythritol if desired for extra sweetness.
