🫐🍩 Keto Blueberry Donuts — Soft, Fluffy & Bursting with Flavor (Low-Carb & Sugar-Smart!)

There’s something magical about biting into a soft, fluffy donut — especially when it’s bursting with juicy blueberries. Now imagine enjoying that same comforting treat while staying completely low-carb and keto-friendly. These Keto Blueberry Donuts are tender, lightly sweet, and perfectly moist without any refined sugar or traditional flour.

They’re baked, not fried, making them lighter but still indulgent. Whether you’re following a keto lifestyle or simply looking for a healthier dessert option, these donuts deliver flavor without guilt.

🫐 The History Behind Donuts (And the Keto Twist)

Traditional donuts date back to early Dutch settlers in America, who made “olykoeks” (oil cakes). Over time, donuts evolved into the sugary fried pastries we know today.

With modern dietary preferences shifting toward low-carb and sugar-conscious eating, bakers began reinventing classics. Keto donuts swap refined flour for almond or coconut flour and sugar for natural low-carb sweeteners — keeping the texture and taste while cutting the carbs dramatically.

These blueberry keto donuts are a perfect example of how tradition meets modern wellness.

🛒 Ingredients

🧁 Dry Ingredients:

  • 2 cups almond flour (fine, blanched)
  • 1/4 cup coconut flour
  • 1/2 cup powdered erythritol or monk fruit sweetener
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • 1/4 tsp baking soda
  • 1/4 tsp salt

🫐 Wet Ingredients:

  • 3 large eggs (room temperature)
  • 1/3 cup unsweetened almond milk
  • 1/4 cup melted butter or coconut oil
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1/2 tsp lemon zest (optional but enhances blueberry flavor)

🫐 Add-Ins:

  • 3/4 cup fresh blueberries (or frozen, not thawed)

🍋 Optional Glaze:

  • 1/2 cup powdered keto sweetener
  • 1–2 tbsp almond milk
  • 1 tsp lemon juice

🥣 Formation & Preparation Method

Step 1: Prepare the Pan

Preheat oven to 175°C (350°F).
Grease a donut pan well with butter or non-stick spray.

Step 2: Mix Dry Ingredients

In a large bowl, whisk together:

  • Almond flour
  • Coconut flour
  • Sweetener
  • Baking powder
  • Baking soda
  • Salt

This ensures even distribution and fluffiness.

Step 3: Mix Wet Ingredients

In another bowl, beat:

  • Eggs
  • Almond milk
  • Melted butter
  • Vanilla extract
  • Lemon zest

Mix until smooth and slightly frothy.

Step 4: Combine

Slowly fold wet mixture into dry ingredients.
Gently fold in blueberries last to avoid breaking them.

Step 5: Fill & Bake

Spoon or pipe batter into donut pan, filling each cavity about 3/4 full.

Bake for 18–22 minutes, or until tops are golden and a toothpick comes out clean.

Let cool in pan for 5–10 minutes before transferring to a rack.

🍋 Optional Glazing Method

  1. Mix powdered sweetener with almond milk and lemon juice.
  2. Stir until smooth and slightly thick.
  3. Dip cooled donuts into glaze.
  4. Let set for 10–15 minutes.
