Making your own keto donuts at home couldn’t be easier! Check out all of these great recipes for the best sugar-free and grain-free donuts.
Do you dream in donuts? Are you a Dunkin’ devotee? Did going low carb make you cry over the loss of your favourite sugary round pastry?
Well your prayers have been answered! Making your own donuts couldn’t be easier and I’ve got 30 of the best keto donut recipes right here. Whether you prefer the basic glazed cake donut or the decadent chocolate variety, you are sure to find something you’ll love.
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.

Carolyn says
So that one is someone else’s recipe, not mine. I think you will need to leave a comment on their blog asking these questions. But given my experience in baking, I would say that coconut oil would probably be fine.
Rith says
I have used coconut oil. Works great.

The last recipe, air fryer donuts, uses carbquick. what would be a good sub or a different air fryer recipe you suggest? Thanks.
Carolyn says
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.
Ruth says
Unbelievable recipes I am so excited to find this site. I usually only use monkfruit sweetener.
Anyone else tried swapping them out?
Kim says
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!!!
