    Looking to reduce sugar but still have a tasty treat like a Krispy Kreme donut?  Whether you've got Dunkin Donuts or Krispy Kreme on your mind, these glazed Keto donuts are your new go-to sugar free desserts!

    Although I'm not keto, I love sweet treats with no refined sugar (just give these chocolate peanut butter fat bombs or pumpkin cheesecake fat bombs a try!)

    Why This Recipe Works

    • All of the sweetness with no sugar. 
    • Keto donuts help to satisfy your sweet tooth.
    • Made with almond flour, coconut flour and the ever-versatile Monk fruit sweetener, these Keto Donuts are great for breakfast or dessert.
    • Easy to make homemade and less expensive than Krispy Kreme or Dunkin.

    Instructions for How to Make This Recipe

    This is a step-by-step walkthrough of how to cook this recipe. The recipe card at the bottom shows the exact cook time and temperatures.

    steps to make keto glazed donuts
    1. Mix together all of your donut ingredients.  I did this with a whisk and a mixing bowl, no fancy tools required!
    2. Add wet ingredients and stir until well mixed.
    3. Spray donut pan with coconut spray and fill approximately ⅔ of the way.
    4. Bake in oven for 14-16 minutes or until lightly browned. Allow Keto donuts to cool in pan for 5 minutes then move to a cooling rack to cool completely.

    How To Make Keto Glaze

    1. Allow them to cool while you make the glaze.
    2. Melt butter in sauce pan and add in sweetener. Stir until sweetener is completely melted then add in vanilla. Stir over medium heat for about 5 minutes.  You can also complete this step in the microwave.
    3. Remove glaze from heat.
    4. Dip each cooled donut into the glaze and allow to cool completely.

    Expert Tips

    • Storage: Glazed Keto donuts are best stored in an airtight container for up to 3 days at room temperature.  To extend the shelf life, store them in an airtight container in the refrigerator.
    • Freezer: You may freeze them for up to three months in a freezer-safe container.

    FAQs

    How do I fill my donut pan?

    If you don't have a pastry 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 make sure 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 my 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 prior to removing.

    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.

      I want to fix the donuts but I only have the keto collagan powder! Can you recommend a protein powder that is good to use?

      Thank you

      These are really Amazing!!! I've tried different recipes that say they taste amazingly good and they are horrible. I'm not a fan of almond flour and coconut flour but these doughnuts really do taste good!!! They hit the spot if your wanting something sweet. I added a little Sweet Life banana flavoring. Thanks for sharing this recipe❣

      I made these tonight. My hubby and I just loved them! I added Confectioners sugar Swerve. I mistakenly added 1/4 c coconut flour, so added a bit more coconut milk...The glaze did not thicken for me, so I added extra confectioners sugar Swerve. They were yummy!!!! Thank you for the great recipe! 🙂

          What other changes do you recommend if substituting coconut flour? I know coconut flour is more absorbent and I've read adding another egg to the recipe. Do you agree with that? Do I add more liquid as well?

        • mommafitpgh@gmail.com

          July 01, 2019 at 1:15 pm

          I wouldn't add more liquid personally. I'd start with swapping out coconut flour first and taking it from there. Adding in an extra egg wouldn't be a terrible idea but I wouldn't add more liquid until you try one modification at a time.

          Super upset about the lack of clarity in this recipe! At what point was I supposed to know not to use the egg yolks? The ingredients say "eggs" and the instructions say "mix all ingredients together". My donuts came out like cookies despite following the recipe to a T, now I read in the comments I wasn't supposed to add the yolks..... Very irritating.

      I made these. They were delicious. However, it did not come out of the pan as anticipated. They were a beast to remove and looked more like Krispy Kreme glazed hash. I oiled the pan with butter cause that is all I had. Could that possibly be the reason it happened? I didn't have the coconut spray. l

        Hey Kykye. I am not sure if you are using a metal nonstick or silicone donut pan but I got rid of my silicone pan for the reason you described above. It did not matter what I greased that thing with donuts would not come out as one. My metal nonstick works best with a non-stick spray. I personally use Trader Joe's Coconut spray and donuts tend to come out just fine. I am sure the baking spray found in other grocery stores would also work great but not my preference. If greasing with butter I would do the old fashioned trick of adding a little flour and shaking, then discarding the excess. I have also noticed that with some recipes baking them just a couple of minutes longer will help them come out easier as well. The trouble area tends to be around the center so try to loosen that area with a small silcone spatula first if it is sticking. Backed donuts can be tricky to remove, especially if it is all almond flour. This recipe is a mix and tends to release easier. I hope these tips help a little.

          I do have a metal non stick. I bought some spray so I think I will give it another try. The worst that can happen is I use a spoon to eat the pieces instead of the doughnut finger choke hold ; ) Thank you for the advice. Greatly appreciated!

          Do you use Swerve confectioners or granular sweetener for the donut part of the recipe? I’m pretty sure it’s confectioners for the glaze.

        Just wanted you to know I made these just as directed, except I used the Lankato Monk fruit sweetener, and my family was amazed. My son, who is not eating keto, told me they were better than the donuts he had earlier in the day. PLUS, I got a thumbs up from my husband. This has been a difficult task with other desserts.

        The glaze MAKES the donuts. SOOOOOOOOO GOOOD!!!!
        Thank you, I will be making again. Very soon!

          it's worth a try! It may not give you the same consistency as the recipe but it doesn't hurt to give it a try if you can't do the heavy whipping cream. coconut cream would be another option if you're looking for something dairy-free
