THE BEST KETO CHOCOLATE DONUTS
On a weekend morning, there’s nothing like a delicious donut! And you can definitely enjoy donuts on the keto diet despite what you may have thought, — as long as they’re made with the right ingredients.
Because it makes donuts with a rich chocolate flavor, cake-like texture and super soft, I love this recipe. Plus, I love the fact that it’s are totally low-carb and gluten-free!
They’re so easy to make is another great thing about these keto donuts! About prepping a lot of frying oil, you don’t need to worry as they are baked, not fried.
This recipe makes about a dozen doughnuts depending on the size of your donut pan. Let me recommend this nonstick donut pan if you are looking to purchase one. For best results, I always reach for a nonstick pan especially when it comes to keto baking.
TIPS FOR MAKING THE BEST KETO DONUTS
Pretty easy to make. Pretty straightforward and simple. Here are some of my tips for the best results
Use a non-stick donut pan.
With non-stick spray, grease the pan well.
In the pan, let the donuts cool, and once they are cool, remove them. When warm, gluten-free and Keto baked goods tend to be fragile. But, as they cool, they will firm up.

Make the donuts:
