Keto doughnuts. Do I need to say anything else?
Vegan note at the end of recipe
Keto German Chocolate Doughnuts (or cupcakes) with Chocolate Buttercream Frosting
Special tools:
- Stand mixer, hand mixer
- Food processor
- Doughnut pan or cupcake pan and liners
Ingredients:
- 2/3 cup coconut flour
- 2/3 cup unsweetened coconut flakes
- 1/2 cup cocoa powder
- 3/4 cup Stevia in the Raw baking (cup for cup type, not packets)
- 1 tsp baking soda
- 6 large eggs
- 2/3 cup butter, melted
- 1/4 cup heavy cream
- 1 tbsp vanilla
Method:
- Preheat oven to 350. Grease doughnut pan with coconut oil.
- Add all dry ingredients to food processor and process until combined into a fine grainy powder.
- Use a hand mixer to blend together eggs, butter, cream, and vanilla.
- Dump dry mixture into wet mixture and mix until completely incorporated.
- Pour dough into doughnut pan or cupcake pan. I use an ice cream scoop since the dough is pretty thick and it helps with measuring.
- Bake 10-12 minutes (for doughnuts) or until a toothpick inserted comes out clean. Cupcakes may take more like 15 minutes.
- Completely cool doughnuts on a wire rack before frosting.
Frosting:
Ingredients:
- 6 tbsp room temp grass fed butter
- 1 cup Stevia in the Raw baking (cup for cup type, not packets)
- 1/4 cup heavy cream
- 1/2 cup Kite Hill brand almond milk ricotta
- 1/3 cup cocoa powder
- 1/2 tsp vanilla
Method:
- Put all ingredients in a stand mixer bowl with the standard beater attachment.
- Mix slowly at first until combined, pausing to scrape down sides occasionally.
- Beat on medium-high speed for 10-15 minutes until texture is whipped and looks like nice frosting.
- Spread onto doughnuts (or cupcakes) and enjoy!
*Best to be eaten the same day; refrigerate leftovers (if there are any)
