Step by Step Instructions
Step by Step Instructions
Combine dry ingredients
To a medium bowl, whisk together almond flour, protein powder, sweetener, baking powder, xanthan gum and salt.
Fill donut molds
Spray each silicone donut mold with cooking spray. Grab a ball of dough and press it into each mold, filling it about 3/4 of the way.
Set up pressure cooker
Place a trivet into the liner of the pressure cooker. Pour 1 cup of water into the liner. Place the molds on top of the trivet.
Pressure cook
Pressure cook high for 12 minutes. Allow pressure to release naturally for 2 minutes before venting to release the remaining pressure. Once cool enough to touch, remove the donuts from the silicone molds and let cool on a wire rack. Donuts will still be moist, but will firm up once they dry.
Coat with chocolate glaze
To make the chocolate glaze, melt the keto chocolate chips and coconut oil in a small bowl using a microwave. Cook at 30 second intervals, stirring in between, until melted. Dip each donut into the melted chocolate and let sit on a wire rack to set the chocolate glaze. Top with nuts, sprinkles or more chocolate.

Can I use a different type of flour instead of almond flour?
Almond flour works best here, but coconut flour is an option. You'll need to use about 1/3 the amount since coconut flour absorbs a lot more liquid.
What can I use instead of monkfruit blend sweetener?
If you don't have monkfruit sweetener, you can substitute it with erythritol or stevia, adjusting the amount to taste, as these sweeteners can vary in sweetness.
How should I store the leftover donuts?
Store them in an airtight container in the fridge for up to a week. They also freeze well. Just separate them with parchment paper before putting them in a freezer bag.
Can I make these donuts dairy-free?
Yes! You can substitute the butter with coconut oil or a dairy-free butter alternative, and use a dairy-free sour cream substitute to keep the recipe dairy-free.
How can I make these donuts even more chocolatey?
Add a tablespoon of unsweetened cocoa powder to the batter, or fold in some sugar-free chocolate chips before cooking.
