Tender keto donuts with warm spices. A perfect low carb breakfast treat!

Low Carb Chai Spice Donuts

The donut pan is a pretty great invention. Yes, I know the donut purists will come after me screaming “baked donuts are not real donuts!”, but they can go shove it. Am I being harsh? Maybe but if I want to call something a donut, or a doughnut, I will do so with gusto. I will also call zucchini noodles “pasta” and grated cauliflower “rice” and whatever the heck I feel like. Because these are MY foods, my way of eating and it makes it that much more enjoyable to call these alternatives by the names of the now forbidden originals. Just don’t call thinly sliced turkey “bacon” because then we may have a problem. Oh whatever. Call it whatever you want. Just don’t try to feed any of it to me.

Keto Chai Spice Donut Recipe

I do love my donut pan and I do love to play around with flavours. Sometimes I just peruse Pinterest, looking at donuts and cakes and muffins, trying to find flavour combinations I might like to low carb (yeah, it’s a verb too!). I saw these pretty little Baked Chai Donuts from Fresh April Flours and I knew they’d make a wonderful keto donut recipe too. All that delicious warm cinnamon, ginger, and cardamom baked into almond flour donuts? Oh yes indeed! Then brushed with butter and sprinkled with a little cinnamon “sugar”.

Morning coffee happiness!

    Hi Carolyn,

    I don’t have a donut pan yet. Should I make these into muffins? Thanks for all your amazing recipes!

      You totally could make them into muffins. Not quite sure how long they would bake but a little longer than donuts because the batter is deeper that way. Will probably make 8 to 10 muffins.

    Can you use coconut flour instead of almond flour?

      Not in this particular recipe but you can make the base donut from my Samoa Donuts (https://alldayidreamaboutfood.com/2015/03/low-carb-samoa-donuts.html) and then add the spices and the butter and cinnamon “sugar” topping.

    These taste awesome. I was having a “I hate gestational diabetes” kind of day and decided to make these. They taste great. Now lets see what they do to my breakfast numbers tomorrow!

      No, not in this case. But it’s not true that most of my recipes call for almond flour. Search for my Samoa Donuts and you will see a coconut flour based donut. Use that recipe and add in the spices from this recipe.
