Keto Bomboloni is a low-carb version of the traditional Italian doughnut that provides all the decadence without the added sugar or carbohydrates. These doughnuts are created by combining the psyllium husk, coconut flour, and almond flour in order to mimic the airy texture of traditional dough, which is soft, pillowy, and golden on the outside. These doughnuts are filled with sugar-free pastry cream, whipped mascarpone, or keto chocolate spread, and are mildly sweet with keto-friendly Erythritol or monk fruit. We can dust these doughnuts with the powder of the Erythritol. These Keto Bomboloni demonstrate that you don’t have to give up your favorite sweets on a low-carb diet; they’re perfect for dessert, brunch, or a filling snack.

INGREDIENTS NOTES:
ALMOND FLOUR:
- We can use the superfine, blanched almond flour to make a light, fluffy, and moist cake. But we should not have to use the almond meal because it may cause the cake to become dense or grainy.
COCONUT FLOUR:
- We can use the small quantity of coconut flour to make this cake since it absorbs moisture and adds structure. Almond flour should not be used in place of 1:1.
PSYLLIUM HUSK POWDER:
- Psyllium husk powder is added in order to replicate the chewiness of conventional dough; it also helps give the dough structure and elasticity. Be sure to grind it finely.
SWEETNER:
- A keto-friendly sweetener that adds sweetness without raising blood sugar levels is Erythritol/monk fruit sweetener. For dusting, powdered forms work best.
EGGS:
- Eggs provide structure and serve as a binder. We can use the eggs that are at ambient temperature because they are easier to incorporate into the dough.
BUTTER:
- Butter enhances flavor and richness. We can also use the coconut oil to make the cake dairy-free.
ALMOND MILK:
- Almond milk is utilized to prepare these doughnuts, and it is low in carbohydrates. We can also use heavy cream can be used in its place for a richer doughnut.
VANILLA EXTRACT:
- The addition of vanilla extract improves the flavor and adds a cozy, bakery-like aroma to the bomboloni.
