Equipment

  • silicone donut mold (optional - if using a donut mold from a different material, you may need to grease them before putting the mixture in)

Ingredients

DONUTS

  • 4 tbsp coconut oil melted
  • 2 tbsp mayo this helps make donuts moist
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 2 tsp peppermint extract
  • 3 eggs
  • 1/4 cup heavy whipping cream
  • 1/2 cup almond flour
  • 2 tbsp unsweetened cocoa powder I used Hershey's Special Dark
  • 1 serving Chocolate Mint Keto Chow (or 1 scoop)
  • 3/4 cup sugar-free sweetener of your choice
  • 1/2 tbsp beef gelatin
  • 1/2 tsp espresso powder
  • 1 tsp baking soda
  • 1/2 tsp baking powder
  • pinch kosher salt

CHOCOLATE PEPPERMINT GANACHE

  • 1/2 cup heavy whipping cream
  • 2 tbsp sweetener
  • 1/2 cup sugar-free chocolate chips
  • 1 tsp peppermint extract

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 350F.
  • In a blender, standing mixer, or food processor, add coconut oil, mayo, vanilla, peppermint extract, and eggs together. Mix very well.
  • Add the heavy whipping cream.
  • In a separate mixing bowl, whisk together your dry ingredients until there are no clumps. Add your dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, making sure it's all incorporated.
  • Once your mixture is mixed, it is ready to be divided. Place your mixture into your donut mold. I made six donuts, though you could just as easily have seven from mixture.
  • Bake for 30 minutes.
  • To prepare your ganache, warm your heavy whipping cream in a saucepan with the sweetener until the sweetener dissolves. Then add your chocolate chips and let them melt. Once the chocolate is melted, stir in the peppermint extract.
  • Take your donuts and dip the tops into the ganache to coat them. Add toppings, if desired, right away before the ganache sets.
  • Store in a container in the fridge for up to one week.
