Dry Ingredients

Use fine almond flour rather than almond meal for making these almond flour donuts. Coconut flour combined with almond flour creates the best flour mixture for making low-carb donuts.

Protein powder is not required for this recipe, but I like to add an unflavored protein powder to increase the protein without adding additional net carbs.

Monk fruit sweetener is a great sugar substitute that helps to mimic the taste of traditional donuts.

Baking powder helps the donuts to rise.

Wet Ingredients

Almond milk or coconut milk along with whole eggs help to bring the donut batter together becoming a binding agent that lends moisture.

Vanilla extract provides a warm flavor that helps these keto donuts to taste like the real thing.

Keto Glaze Ingredients

Here are the ingredients you'll need for the keto glaze:

Melted butter, monk fruit sweetener, and vanilla extract create a creamy and delicious sweet glaze to top the low carb donuts.

Add a teaspoon or more of unsweetened cocoa powder to make a chocolate glaze.

Recipe FAQs

How many carbs are in a keto donut?

There are 5.2 total carbs in this recipe. Net carbs are 4.0 grams and sugar is 1.1 grams.

How do I fill my donut pan?

If you don't have a pastry bag or piping bag, try using a quart-sized Ziploc bag and cutting off the tip.

You may also use a bowl with a spout and carefully pour the batter into the donut pan.

How do I ensure that my donuts do not rise out of the pan?

Fill your pan no more than ⅔ of the way up. If you fill the donut pan fully, the donuts will overflow.

How do I keep them from sticking to the pan?

To ensure my Keto donuts do not stick to the pan, I spray the donut pan very well with coconut oil spray.

You can also run a butter knife around the perimeter of the donuts and the donut hole section to gently loosen them before removing them.

Also - be sure to allow them to cool in the pan for at least five minutes before flipping them onto a cooling rack to cool fully.
