Keto Spinach Donuts

We all know the benefits of leafy greens, yet many of us struggle to incorporate them into our meals. These spinach donuts are great for sneaking in healthy vegetables, especially if you have picky kids. They provide the perfect balance between indulgence and nutrition. This Keto-friendly recipe is easy to follow and can be tweaked to your preference.

Do these donuts taste like spinach?

The reason spinach is used in many desserts and smoothies is that it barely has any impact on the overall flavor. If spinach didn't have this bright green color, you wouldn't even guess that these donuts are made with a vegetable.

Are these Keto donuts gluten-free?

Yes, they are. This Keto-friendly baked snack contains no wheat or grains, making it 100% gluten-free. This recipe uses a blend of nuts and seeds instead of flour, making these donuts unsuitable for people with nut allergies.

Can you use other nuts for this recipe?

This recipe uses almonds, walnuts, and hemp seeds as a base. If you are allergic to a particular nut or prefer the flavor of another kind, then, by all means, use what suits you best. Hazelnuts, cashew, brazil nuts, and sunflower seeds are great substitutes for this recipe.

Can you flavor these Keto donuts?

These donuts do not have a particular taste, which makes them easily customizable. You can drizzle some sugar-free melted chocolate, Keto caramel sauce, or a simple glaze on top. You can also replace the chocolate chips with lemon or orange zest for a fresh, summery version. Another option would be to replace the spinach with grated carrots and add cinnamon for a carrot cake flavored Keto donut.

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 180 C / 350F. Add the almonds, walnuts, and hemp seeds to your food processor. Grind until they reach the texture of fine flour.
Step 2

Transfer the nut flour to a bowl. Add the erythritol, salt, and baking soda. Whisk the ingredients together and set the bowl aside.
Step 3

To the empty food processor, add the oil, almond milk, vanilla, eggs, and spinach. Pulse until the mixture is bright green. You can do this step in a blender.
Step 4

Add the wet mixture to the bowl with the dry ingredients. Whisk until a batter forms. Add in the chocolate chips and fold using a spatula.
Step 5

Lightly grease a donut pan with oil or butter. Add 2 to 3 tablespoons of batter to each hole. Transfer the pan or mold to the oven.
Step 6

Bake the donuts for 20 minutes. They are done when they become slightly golden, and an inserted toothpick comes out dry. Set the pan aside to cool.
