Keto Cherry Chocolate Chunk Donuts: A Sweet & Sugar Treat

There’s something about biting into a soft, chocolatey donut with little bursts of juicy cherry that feels like a reward. The problem? Regular donuts are loaded with sugar and carbs. But that doesn’t mean you have to miss out. These Keto Cherry Chocolate Chunk Donuts give you all the sweetness, all the richness, and none of the guilt.

They’re fluffy, slightly chewy, and packed with chunks of dark chocolate that melt into every bite. The cherries add just the right amount of tartness to balance things out. Best part? They’re low-carb, sugar-free, and easy to make. Whether you’re deep into keto or just looking for a better way to enjoy something sweet, these donuts will not disappoint.

Why These Donuts Are a Must-Try

• Low in Carbs – Traditional donuts can hit 30g+ of carbs per piece. These? Around 4g net carbs per donut.
• Sugar-Free – Sweetened with monk fruit (or your keto sweetener of choice). No blood sugar spikes.
• Rich in Flavor – Dark chocolate, cherry, and vanilla? Perfect trio.
• Super Easy – No fancy baking skills required. Just mix, bake, and eat.
• No Weird Ingredients – Everything used is something you can find at a regular store.

Ingredients You’ll Need

For the Donuts:

• 2 cups almond flour
• ¼ cup coconut flour
• ½ cup granulated keto sweetener (monk fruit, erythritol, or allulose)
• 2 tsp baking powder
• ½ tsp baking soda
• ¼ tsp salt
• ½ cup melted butter (or coconut oil for dairy-free)
• 3 large eggs
• ½ cup unsweetened almond milk (or heavy cream)
• 1 tsp vanilla extract
• ½ cup pitted fresh cherries, chopped (or frozen, thawed)
• ½ cup dark chocolate chunks (sugar-free)

For the Chocolate Drizzle (Optional but Worth It):

• ¼ cup sugar-free dark chocolate chips
• 1 tsp coconut oil

How to Make Them

Step 1: Prep Everything

• Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
• Grease a donut pan or use silicone molds.

Step 2: Mix the Dry Ingredients

In a large bowl, whisk together:
✔ Almond flour
✔ Coconut flour
✔ Sweetener
✔ Baking powder & baking soda
✔ Salt

This combo makes sure your donuts are light and fluffy instead of dense.

Step 3: Mix the Wet Ingredients

In another bowl, whisk:
✔ Melted butter (or coconut oil)
✔ Eggs
✔ Almond milk (or heavy cream)
✔ Vanilla extract

Slowly pour this into the dry mix and stir until smooth.

Step 4: Add the Good Stuff

• Fold in the chopped cherries and chocolate chunks.
• Be gentle. You don’t want to crush the cherries too much.

Step 5: Fill the Donut Pan

• Spoon the batter into the molds, filling them about ¾ full.
• Smooth out the tops with a spoon.

Step 6: Bake to Perfection

• Bake for 15-18 minutes or until golden brown.
• A toothpick should come out clean (except for maybe some melted chocolate).
• Let them cool in the pan for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack.

Step 7: Add That Chocolate Drizzle (Optional but Delicious)

• Melt the chocolate chips and coconut oil in a microwave (30-second bursts).
• Stir until smooth.
• Drizzle over the cooled donuts.

Tips for the Best Keto Donuts

✔ Use fresh cherries if possible – They add better flavor than frozen.
✔ Don’t overmix the batter – This keeps the donuts soft.
✔ Almond flour is key – It gives the best texture.
✔ Let them cool completely before eating – They firm up as they cool.
✔ Store leftovers in the fridge – They last up to 5 days.

Conclusion

Keto baking doesn’t have to be complicated. These Cherry Chocolate Chunk Donuts are proof that you can have something sweet, satisfying, and healthy at the same time. They’re great for breakfast, a snack, or even dessert. And with just 4g net carbs per donut, you can enjoy them without guilt.

So next time that sugar craving hits, skip the store-bought junk and whip up a batch of these instead. You won’t regret it.
