How to make Keto Donuts

Most keto donut recipes are for baked donuts. Yeast and risen donuts are difficult to accomplish with gluten-free and low carb ingredients. And most keto dough will simply fall apart if you try to fry it.

But if you’re really craving that fried donut flavor, I have a great solution for you. Quite some time ago, I made “fried” coconut flour donuts by first baking them and then frying them in an inch or so of oil. A couple of people have copied this little trick since then, but I do believe I am the first to have tried it.

But baked keto donuts can also be wonderful too, and for that, you need a good donut pan. I highly recommend the USA Pan donut pans, as they are are incredibly durable, non-toxic, and so nonstick that your homemade donuts practically fall right out of them.

    Hello, I’m looking for a gingerbread donut, but the link for this took me to a gingerbread scone recipe. I didn’t see and adaptions for donuts. Do you have a recipe for gingerbread donuts or suggestions on adapting another recipe? Thanks so much!

  2. These were super tasty! I paired it with your chocolate glaze! Great texture! Thank you for all the yummy recipes!!

  3. I made these little gems this morning, and OMG!! Yum!!! I didn’t have a doughnut pan and thought I could use my mini Bundt pan… that’s a big NOPE! They were ugly, but they tasted amazing! I believe my hubby is getting me a doughnut pan for Valentine’s Day now tho!! Win for me! Thank you for all of your amazing recipes! Without them I don’t think we would be able to stick to this new eating way of life. You are remarkable with all the yumminess!!!

  4. Unbelievable recipes I am so excited to find this site. I usually only use monkfruit sweetener.
    Anyone else tried swapping them out?

  5. The last recipe, air fryer donuts, uses carbquick. what would be a good sub or a different air fryer recipe you suggest? Thanks.

    1. Good question. Sorry I didn’t notice that. 🙁 I think you could still try it… I might do a coconut flour based one, like my Samoa donuts. Watch them carefully, I simply don’t know how long they will take! And lower the temp… I find my air fryer cooks things WAY too quickly.

  6. Wow, I am SO glad I found your blog! I have just ordered the USA doughnut pan and hope to be making LC doughnuts very soon! (former Krispy Kreme addict) Thank you!!!
