Kids and Baking Series-Keto Mocha Donuts Review

Since I’m too big of a fan of donuts, I thought I would give a keto recipe a try. I’m already pretty acclimated to a low sugar diet, so I’m used to using erythritol in different recipes. I used a recipe I found on ketogenic.com, but I did change the stevia to erythritol. I know stevia is notoriously sweet, but I did use the same amount of erythritol instead of increasing it. In my opinion, it was enough. I’m wary of using too much erythritol because too much of it bothers my stomach. I tend to err on the conservative side in this case.

Ingredients:
5 tablespoons of coconut flour
1/4 cup of granulated stevia (I used erythritol instead}

1 tablespoon of unsweetened cocoa powder
3 whole large eggs
1 tablespoon of instant coffee
1 tablespoon of melted coconut oil
1/4 cup of water
1/4 cup of unsweetened almond milk
1 teaspoon of vanilla extract
1 teaspoon of baking powder
Pinch of pink salt {I forgot to add the salt}
Directions:

1. Preheat oven to 375 degrees.
2. Mix water and instant coffee, leave aside.
3. Add the eggs to the dry ingredients and whisk, continue by adding the remaining of the liquid ingredients continue mixing until you have an homogeneous batter.
   Notes: I had an issue here because the batter collects in the whisk when doing the eggs. Once the other liquids were added, this was resolved.
4. Grease donut pan.
   Notes: I just used Pam this time, but if you want to up the fat content, you could use coconut oil.
5. Pour the batter evenly into the donut tins and bake from 15 to 18 min.
   Notes: I only have a 6 donut pan, so instead of it making 9 like the recipe calls for, I fit it into 6. The 18 minutes was still enough time to get them done.
6. You can check if donuts are ready by sticking a wooden stick, if it comes out clean they are ready.
7. Once they are ready bring the out and let them cool for a little before unmolding.
   Notes: For extra decoration and flavor, I used 15 of Lily’s sugar-free chocolate chips per donut.

Other notes/reactions:
These donuts are delicious. They are pretty moist. Just 2.1 net carbs per donut! And my 3 year old likes them!
