With these keto peanut butter cup donuts, you no longer need to be envious of that box of office donuts. These low carb donuts are wonderful and reminiscent of a standard cake-like donut from companies like Dunkin’ Donuts. They are dense and full of flavor and they are the perfect keto macro profile. We are going to use almond flour in these due to its volume. Coconut flour would work as well, but the amount of batter would be much less.

Peanut Butter Cup Donuts As Art

Low-carb and gluten-free donuts are a bit of an art form. We do not get the same texture but we can really play with flavors. We are going to use a chocolate glaze topped with peanut butter to give you that peanut butter cup donut flavor profile. Packing in all this flavor really goes well with the dense donut texture. Also, this can be your canvas – you can top it however you would like. Maybe a vanilla frosting and some low-carb crushed up oreos or some sugar-free jelly.

A Few Notes

I find a silicone muffin pan critical for this low-carb donut recipe. Greasing a pan is very hit or miss, with silicone you can make sure they will not stick. I just run a knife around the contact points and pop them out. It is also important that you bake them long enough. While the donuts are still incredible if they are underbaked, it can be very hard to decorate them correctly. At the risk of beating the same drum, it is also very important to sift all your ingredients. You do not want to find large clumps of almond flour in your finished product.

A Tip For Decorating

In order to make your life a bit easier place the (soon to be) peanut butter cup donuts to cool on a wire rack. From there you can easily spoon the toppings over it while the excess is going to fall between the cracks. Before decorating, however, make sure to let these cool fully, otherwise the frosting will melt.
