Having desserts on a keto diet can be particularly tough, especially if you try to keep your carb intake under some specific number of grams. But these doughnuts are keto-friendly! They are low in carbs, vegan, gluten-free, and sugar-free! These coffee and chocolate doughnuts are so yummy, easy, and so low-carb that you won’t believe they are doughnuts made of cocoa and chocolate!
I love coffee, chocolate, and vegan desserts. How can I combine these three things together if I follow a keto, low-carb diet? I thought it would be impossible to find some sweet snack that will fit in my vegan and keto diet but guess what! After trying a few different recipes, I have found these doughnuts!
I wanted to develop a recipe for doughnuts covered in chocolate that are made of coffee and cocoa. However, everything needs sugar and flour! Then I started to think about using psyllium husk and almond meal as low-carb substitutes for keto vegan baking.
I have to admin I am a total chocolate addict and love anything with dark chocolate. I don’t care whether my dessert is covered in dark chocolate or it contains dark chocolate, it’s MINE!!
The only problem that I have with it is that I want to avoid all the carbs that necessarily have to come with my dessert. That means that every time I’ve got a chance, I search for low-carb vegan options. It’s hard sometimes if you don’t know how to replace high-carb ingredients with those that contain fewer carbs.
So, my conlusion is that if you are keen to try vegan keto desserts, then you definitely give a go to these yummy and easy keto, low-carb vegan coffee and cocoa doughnuts.

What do you need to make these keto low-carb coffee and cocoa doughnuts?
- Non-dairy milk. I used unsweetened soy milk.
- Vanilla extract. Try to find and use pure vanilla extract.
- Liquid sweetener. Stevia or erythritol is the most commonly used liquid sweeteners.
- Espresso. Freshly brewed.
- Coconut oil. Make sure you melt it before using.
- Almond meal. Along with coconut flour and almond flour, almond meal is one of the best keto options for vegan baking!
- Raw cocoa powder
- Psyllium husk. If you are not sure what psyllium husk is and what it’s used for, read this article. Just to give you a short hint, psyllium husk has many health benefits. It’s especially good for improving gut health, heart health, and it has a laxative effect.
- Baking powder
- Baking soda
- Sea salt. Finely ground sea salt is perfect!
- Dark non-dairy chocolate. I used 90% cocoa dark chocolate because it’s the best!
