Warm Introduction

If you’ve been craving something sweet yet healthy, these Keto Blueberry Donuts are about to become your new go-to. I still remember the first time I baked them – my kitchen smelled like a cozy bakery, and the first bite reminded me of classic blueberry muffins but in a donut form… only lighter, fluffier, and guilt-free. For anyone following a low-carb lifestyle, this recipe feels like a little indulgence without the sugar crash.

What Makes This Recipe Stand Out

Unlike most keto desserts that can feel too dense or overly almond-flour heavy, these donuts strike the perfect balance: soft, moist, and bursting with juicy blueberries. They’re naturally gluten-free, sugar-free, and baked instead of fried. Plus, they’re ready in under 30 minutes – which makes them a great quick-fix for sweet cravings.

Personal Blogger Note

When I first tried these donuts after a long walk, I was amazed at how satisfying they were without being heavy. I even packed a couple for the next morning’s coffee, and honestly, it felt like I was treating myself at a café – except they were completely low-carb!

Equipment You’ll Need

• Mixing Bowls – I always like having two: one for dry ingredients and one for wet. It makes the blending process so much smoother.
• Whisk or Hand Mixer – Essential for getting a light batter texture. A whisk works fine if you want a quick arm workout!
• Donut Pan – This gives the donuts their perfect ring shape. Without it, you can use a muffin tin, but they won’t feel as fun.
• Measuring Cups & Spoons – Precision matters with keto baking. Too much almond flour or sweetener can really change the texture.
• Spatula – For folding in blueberries gently, so they don’t burst and turn the batter purple.

Ingredients with Substitutions

• Almond Flour (2 cups) – The keto-friendly base, giving structure and a light nutty flavor. Substitute: sunflower seed flour for nut-free option.
• Coconut Flour (2 tbsp) – Helps absorb moisture and balance texture. Don’t skip – it prevents sogginess.
• Erythritol or Monk Fruit (½ cup) – Keeps it sugar-free while still sweet. You can use stevia, but adjust since it’s stronger.
• Baking Powder (1 tsp) – For fluffiness. Without it, your donuts will turn dense.
• Eggs (3 large) – They bind everything and add protein. Flax eggs can work if you’re dairy- and egg-free.
• Unsweetened Almond Milk (½ cup) – Keeps the batter moist. You could also use coconut milk.
• Melted Butter or Coconut Oil (3 tbsp) – Adds richness and prevents dryness.
• Fresh or Frozen Blueberries (½ cup) – The star of the show. If using frozen, don’t thaw – just fold in gently.
• Vanilla Extract (1 tsp) – Rounds out the flavor.

Step-by-Step Cooking Process

1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease your donut pan.
2. In one bowl, whisk together almond flour, coconut flour, sweetener, and baking powder.
3. In another bowl, whisk eggs, almond milk, melted butter, and vanilla until smooth.
4. Combine the wet and dry ingredients. Stir until a thick but spoonable batter forms.
5. Gently fold in blueberries with a spatula.
6. Spoon batter into the donut pan, filling each cavity about ¾ full.
7. Bake for 18–20 minutes, until golden and a toothpick comes out clean.
8. Let cool 5–10 minutes before removing from the pan (they firm up as they cool).
