How to make keto donuts

Ready to see how easy it is to make these tasty treats right at home?

Step 1: Spray your donut pan with cooking spray, making sure to spray the middle, then set aside. Preheat your oven to 350°F (180°C).

Step 2: Whisk together the wet ingredients until completely smooth.

Step 3: In a separate bowl, whisk together the dry ingredients.

Step 4: Transfer the wet ingredients into the bowl with the dry mixture and whisk until smooth.

Step 5: Spoon the batter into the prepared donut pan.

Step 6: Bake for 25 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean. Remove from the oven and allow to cool for 10 minutes before removing the donuts from the pan.

Step 7: Mix together the granulated brown stevia, cinnamon, and nutmeg.

Step 8: Once the donuts have cooled for another 5 minutes, drizzle them with melted butter and top with the cinnamon, nutmeg, and sweetener mixture.

Your low-carb donuts are ready to enjoy! Serve with a cup of coffee for breakfast, treat yourself to an afternoon snack, or indulge your sweet tooth after dinner.

Are donuts keto-friendly?

That depends entirely on the donut and the ingredients used! Traditional donuts, however, are usually made with all-purpose flour and plenty of sugar. Unless a donut is specifically labeled as “keto,” I would be very cautious.

A cinnamon donut from Dunkin Donuts, for example, has 34 grams of carbohydrates and 13 grams of sugar. For anyone following a keto diet, that probably puts you over your daily carb limit.

This recipe, on the other hand, uses low-carb sweetener and almond flour. Thanks to these ingredient swaps, each donut comes out to 1.8 grams of carbohydrates and 0.5 grams of fiber. That’s only 1.3 net carbs per donut!

So, whether you’re keto or just looking for a tasty treat that won’t spike your blood sugar, these low-carb donuts are a great option.

Storage

This recipe is for 12 donuts. I like to make a batch on Sunday so I have them to enjoy throughout the week!

You can store your donuts in an airtight container in the refrigerator. They will stay fresh for up to five days.
