Fried, baked, or pressure-cooked. These 10 keto donut recipes cover the full range: glazed, filled, seasonal, and fried pastry options, all under five grams net carbs. The Krispy Kreme copycat has collected 15 reviews and the rating has held steady at 4.5 stars since it went up.
Glazed, chocolate, and single-serve. These are the ones I come back to on weekday mornings when the coffee is already poured.
Three and a half grams of net carbs in a fried, glazed donut that 15 reviewers have given 4.5 stars. The vanilla glaze is the part people keep commenting on (they describe it as the thing that makes this taste like a Krispy Kreme rather than a keto compromise).
Chocolate glazed. Cake-style, not yeast. 4.8g net carbs. It pairs well with strong coffee in a way that plain glazed usually does not.
One donut, ten minutes, 11.5g protein. Old-fashioned cake style and the texture holds up better than you might expect from something this fast. Three reviewers gave it 4.7 stars.
Made in the Instant Pot, then covered in chocolate glaze. The pressure cooking method (I was skeptical at first) actually produces a softer interior than baking does. Around four and a half grams net carbs.
Fall spice options and a jelly-filled version for when the basic glazed lineup stops being interesting.
Under one gram net carbs. The cinnamon coating on these apple cider donuts goes on thick enough that you get it in every bite, not just on the outer layer.
Pumpkin donuts with pumpkin spice glaze, 4.2g net carbs. I make these in September and usually keep making them through November. Good dunked in coffee, though the glaze softens fast so eat them within an hour.
Soft, pillowy, filled with sugar-free jam. 13.2g protein. The interior texture is closer to a real jelly donut than any baked keto donut has a right to be. That part surprised me.
Fritters, churro bites, and cinnamon rolls. All fried or baked without any equipment beyond a pot or a standard oven.
0.7g net carbs. Seven reviews, 4.9 stars. The cinnamon sugar coating on these churro donut holes sticks because of the butter in the dough. No egg wash needed.
Apple fritters, fried. The crust crunches when you bite in and the center stays soft. 0.9g net carbs, and the apple cinnamon flavor is throughout the dough, not just added on top.
Almond flour dough, cream cheese frosting, 1.9g net carbs. Eighteen reviews at 4.8 stars. The dough is worth noting specifically: it rolls and cuts without cracking, which is not a given with almond flour cinnamon rolls.
