Keto Blueberry Donuts Recipe (Low-Carb, Gluten-Free)

This is a recipe for scrumptious keto blueberry donuts that uses gluten-free almond and coconut flours! They can be baked using fresh or frozen berries.

This post might appear to be a piece unavailable since blueberries are a midsummer organic product. However, we generally have frozen blueberries in our cooler because of countless berries we pick each late spring.

I’m generally keeping watch for new blueberry recipes to attempt. As of late, I’ve been searching for a recipe for blueberry cake doughnuts. Furthermore, I was interested concerning the way in which they would turn out utilizing low-carb fixings.

My most memorable endeavor at the blueberry cake doughnut recipe was made utilizing all coconut flour. The surface was great, yet I needed to restrain the coconut flour.

So I had a go at making them again with some almond flour added to the recipe. The taste was greatly improved!

I as of late bought several silicone doughnut shape dish that make medium-sized heated doughnuts. I really purchased two distinct brands, one made by Freshware and one more made by Silikomart.

These keto blueberry doughnuts taste very much like Dunkin’ Doughnuts. Assuming your sweet tooth is shouting, these prepared blueberry doughnuts are the ideal thing to make.

Besides the fact that they have a delightful blueberry flavor, yet they are finished off with sans sugar blueberry coat as well!

This is an exceptionally essential recipe, and I’ll share thoughts for things you can do to switch things up. Presently you can appreciate doughnuts in any event, when you are on a keto diet.

Try not to let the considerable rundown of fixings threaten you. These low-carb blueberry doughnuts are quite easy to make.

I will separate my fixings, so you understand what I utilized and why I picked it.

Use both coconut flour and almond flour together. This is what gives them the perfect cake donut texture with a balanced flavor.

You’ll also need some basic baking ingredients to make them perfectly. If you have ever baked before, you probably already have everything you need.

This includes:

• Baking powder
• Xanthan gum
• Salt
• Nutmeg
• Egg

I forgot to add xanthan gum to the first batch of these low-carb blueberry donuts. And shortly after baking, the donuts crumbled apart when touched. So, this is a very important ingredient!

From my experience in low-carb baking, I find that bread and cakes made with almond flour sometimes need xanthan gum to hold them together since there is no gluten. However, the donuts stayed together much better the next day.

I did not use vanilla extract because the nutmeg and blueberries provide plenty of flavor.

Butter

Keep the butter cold and mix it into the batter when it is cubed. Use any type of butter that you have.

Blueberries

Either fresh blueberries or frozen will work in these keto donuts!

Powdered sugar substitute

I suggest using both Swerve confectioner’s powdered sweetener and SweetLeaf stevia drops for the perfect donuts.

Almond milk

You don’t need much almond milk, but it does help them to melt in your mouth. Always use unsweetened almond milk when you bake keto recipes!

To make sugar-free glaze, the following mixture is used.

Lemon juice
Fresh blueberries
Swerve confectioner’s powdered sweetener Note: For a complete list of ingredients used to make this low-carb recipe, please see the recipe card below:.

Tips

• Watch the consistency and adjust as needed. Coconut flour can vary in absorbency. It’s best to start with half and add more if needed. If the batter is too thick, more almond milk can be added.
• If you don’t have cooling racks, use parchment paper. The parchment paper can help your donuts cool on the counter.
• Use a piping bag for the glaze. If you don’t like dipping the donuts, a piping bag can work perfectly too.

Instructions

It is so easy to make low-carb blueberry donuts! All the exact steps are in the printable recipe card at the bottom of this post. First, here are extra tips and a quick overview.

Mix the flour mixture

Add the almond flour, coconut flour, baking powder, xanthan gum, salt, nutmeg, and powdered sugar substitute in a large bowl. Blend in the butter until you have coarse crumbs.

Add blueberry mixture

Warm up the blueberries in the microwave until they pop. Do this in 30-second intervals, stirring well in between each one.

Next, stir in the stevia, almond milk, and egg to your berries.

Then, add it all to the flour mixture and combine.

Pipe batter into donut pan

Place the donut batter into either a plastic bag or a piping bag. Pipe it into a well-greased donut pan. You can also use silicone molds like Silikomart.

I decided to try non-stick pans for this blueberry cake donut recipe. But I have to use a lot of grease to ensure an easy release with these donut pans.

There’s really no need to spray or grease the silicone pans.

You can get more donuts by using smaller donut molds. My regular pan gets me about nine large size donuts for each recipe.

With the smaller medium-size donut molds, I get a dozen donuts per batch. I really like the smaller size and the fact that I’m getting a full dozen.

Using silicone for this low-carb blueberry cake donut recipe, the donuts popped right out of the molds. The photo above shows how they looked coming out of the pan.

Bake the donuts

Bake them for about 12 minutes. Then, cool completely on a wire cooling rack.

Make the donut glaze

Mix together the ingredients for the glaze. Dip donuts into the glaze and let them sit to dry.

Serving suggestions

These baked blueberry donuts are the perfect thing to eat for breakfast with your morning coffee. Pour a cup of bulletproof coffee and start your day right!

They are also beautiful enough to share at a fancy brunch. So, add them to the table with a keto crustless quiche.

If you are really craving blueberry recipes, then include these donuts on the dessert table with a gluten-free lemon blueberry pound cake. It has a lot of the same ingredients.
