My Personal Experience

I’ll admit it—I used to think keto baking was impossible. How could you get that soft, pillowy texture without regular flour? But after a few experiments (and some kitchen fails), I landed on this recipe. The first time I made these, I was shocked. They tasted like the real deal! I had to stop myself from eating the whole batch. And the glaze? It takes them to the next level. I love making these on weekends with my morning coffee—it feels like a little bakery moment at home.

Required Equipment

Donut Pan

This is a must for getting that perfect donut shape. A good non-stick donut pan makes removing them a breeze and keeps the edges beautifully rounded.

Mixing Bowls

You’ll need a couple of bowls—one for the dry ingredients and one for the wet. I always use my favorite sturdy glass mixing bowls. They make everything easier!

Whisk & Silicone Spatula

A whisk helps blend the ingredients smoothly, while a silicone spatula is perfect for folding the batter without overmixing.

Cooling Rack

Once your donuts are baked, you’ll want them to cool properly before glazing. A cooling rack prevents soggy bottoms and keeps them nice and airy.

Ingredients & Substitutions

For the Donuts

• Almond flour (1 ½ cups) – The base for a soft yet structured texture. Coconut flour won’t work the same way, but if necessary, try using ⅓ cup coconut flour.
• Baking powder (1 tsp) – Helps the donuts rise and stay fluffy.
• Granulated keto sweetener (⅓ cup) – I use erythritol, but monk fruit or allulose works too.
• Eggs (3, large) – Essential for binding and adding structure.
• Unsweetened almond milk (¼ cup) – Keeps the batter smooth. Coconut milk can be substituted.
• Vanilla extract (1 tsp) – Adds warmth and enhances flavor.
• Melted butter (3 tbsp) – For richness and moisture. Coconut oil can be used for a dairy-free option.

For the Glaze

• Powdered keto sweetener (½ cup) – Gives the glaze a smooth texture.
• Heavy cream (2 tbsp) – Helps achieve that perfect consistency. Can substitute with unsweetened coconut cream.
• Vanilla extract (½ tsp) – Adds a delicious flavor boost.

How to Make Keto Glazed Donuts

1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease your donut pan well.
2. Mix dry ingredients – In a bowl, whisk together almond flour, baking powder, and sweetener.
3. Combine wet ingredients – In another bowl, whisk eggs, almond milk, vanilla extract, and melted butter.
4. Make the batter – Gradually mix the dry ingredients into the wet, stirring until just combined.
5. Fill the donut pan – Spoon or pipe the batter into the molds, filling them about ¾ full.
6. Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until golden and firm. Let them cool completely on a rack before glazing.
7. Make the glaze – Whisk together powdered sweetener, heavy cream, and vanilla extract until smooth.
8. Glaze the donuts – Dip each donut into the glaze or drizzle it on top. Let them set before serving.

Tips for This Recipe

• Don’t overmix the batter—this keeps the donuts light and fluffy.
• Let them cool before glazing, or the glaze will melt right off.
• For extra sweetness, add a pinch of cinnamon or nutmeg to the batter.

Optional Additions

• Chocolate Glaze – Add 1 tbsp cocoa powder to the glaze for a chocolatey twist.
• Coconut Topping – Sprinkle shredded coconut over the glaze for extra texture.
• Lemon Glaze – Swap vanilla extract for lemon juice for a citrusy kick.

Serving Ideas

• Pair with bulletproof coffee for a satisfying keto breakfast.
• Serve with whipped cream and fresh berries for a fancy treat.
• Enjoy as a snack with a cup of almond milk or keto hot chocolate.

Storage Recommendations

• Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
• Keep in the fridge for up to 1 week.
• Freeze for up to 3 months—just thaw and warm up in the microwave for a few seconds!

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I use coconut flour instead of almond flour?
Not directly. If you must use coconut flour, reduce the amount to ⅓ cup and add one more egg.

How do I make them dairy-free?
Swap butter for coconut oil and use coconut cream in the glaze.

Why are my donuts dry?
This usually happens if the batter is overmixed or they’re overbaked. Stick to the recommended time!
