Instructions for How to Make This Recipe
Below are step-by-step instructions for how to cook this recipe. The recipe card at the bottom shows the exact cooking time and temperatures.
- Mix together all of your donut ingredients. I did this with a whisk and a mixing bowl, no fancy tools required!
- Add wet ingredients and stir until well mixed.
- Spray donut pan with coconut spray and fill approximately ⅔ of the way.
- 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
- Allow them to cool while you make the glaze.
- 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.
- Remove glaze from heat.
- 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
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.
Fill your pan no more than ⅔ of the way up. If you fill the donut pan fully, the donuts will overflow.
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.

Being from the birthplace of Krispy Kreme, I was excited to see the recipe name. Unfortunately, I can safely say these taste absolutely nothing like those. However, for keto donuts, they are good. The time to make them is a plus as well. They are much more dense and cake like. With the right flavorings, it would be much closer Dunkin’ Donut. A cream cheese glaze icing would probably be a better fit for these. I would probably turn these into mini-bundts next time and add that.

Thanks for your review Angie! I'm glad you liked the donuts even though they weren't what you expected.
Hannah Horn
Has one tried using THM baking blend instead almond flour and coconut flour?
Sarah
So yummy! Just made them in my Dash Mini Donut Maker and they were so good! I was worried they would be dense with the almond flour but they were airy and a delight!
Lyndsey
I'm so glad you liked them Sarah! Good idea to use them in the Dash mini!
Veronica
Are those total carbs or net carbs in the nutrition facts? Do these contain fiber or added sugars?

I made these and loved them! They were SUUUper easy to make.
I'd love to give only amazing words about these, but there was one thing I didn't adore: THE GLAZE
It was way too sweet and even though I powdered the monk fruit to perfection, it was still slightly gritty. And also it was pretty thick. Though maybe my view of the glaze was dashed only because when I took them out of the oven the donut pan slipped and the all fell onto the floor!! lol
Anyway, they were pretty amazing for keto donuts. Thanks!
Lyndsey
I'm so glad you made them! Sorry that you had a mishap! and yes the glaze can be sweet so definitely sweeten to your taste or you can opt out of it. Thanks for trying and commenting!
Faith

Lyndsey
I'm so glad you liked them! Thank you for the comment and rating!
Krissy
What can you use in the place of protein powder? Like others have said I do not usually use it and Im not buying it for 1/4 cup. Thank you!
Lyndsey
I think you can safely omit it and if the batter seems too thin just add in 1 tbsp coconut flour and see if that works. Hope that helps!
Carole

The donuts turned out great however, my glaze was
gritty. Next time I’ll try a powdered sweetener in the glaze. Thanks for the recipe.
Lyndsey
I've had that happen if the erythritol doesn't dissolve completely. Powdered sweetener may work better for you next time. Thanks for trying the recipe!
Patricia
Has anyone tried this without the coconut flour? Maybe substitute with extra almond flour? I just don't like it, so I don't have any and hate to buy it for 2 tablespoons
Mori
i dont think this is a common ingredient people have on hand but I happened to have some chicory root inulin so I added 2 tbs of that instead and added just a little less than a 1/4 cup more of almond flour. the texture was fantastic!
Sarah
Hi, some comments mention just egg yolks but the recipe mentions full eggs, which would you advise?

I want to make the donuts but I only have keto collagen powder! Can you recommend a good protein powder for use in baking?
[email protected]
I think that would work. Is it vital proteins? You could also use Orgain Keto
