Mac & cheese, lasagna, pot pie — all keto. Warm Up →
Keto donuts are real and they are good. Fried, baked, or made in the Instant Pot, these 10 recipes cover glazed, filled, and seasonal varieties. The Krispy Kreme copycat alone has 15 reviews and people swear it tastes like the original.
Glazed, chocolate, and single-serve options. These are the everyday donuts I reach for with my morning coffee.
Fried in lard and dipped in a sweet vanilla glaze that sets as it cools. Cake-based, not yeast-based. The glaze is what makes it taste like Krispy Kreme. Makes 8.
Same base dough as the glazed donut but topped with a melted sugar-free chocolate coating. Rich and sweet, pairs perfectly with black coffee in the morning.
One donut, 10 minutes. I use the same almond flour and protein powder base, fry it in lard, and top with a vanilla cream glaze and sprinkles. Old-fashioned cake-style and just the right amount.
Baked under pressure in the Instant Pot instead of fried, then dipped in a sugar-free chocolate glaze that hardens perfectly. A lighter option when I do not want to deal with hot oil.
Fall flavors and jelly-filled donuts for when plain glazed is not enough.
Apple cider donut holes rolled in cinnamon after baking. Warm, buttery, and the cinnamon coating sticks perfectly. I make these every fall and they smell incredible.
Pumpkin puree in the batter, pumpkin spice in the glaze. The dough uses mozzarella to get a chewier texture than a standard cake donut. My fall donut to dunk in coffee.
Pillowy soft and filled with sugar-free jam that bursts when you bite in. I fry these and dust them with powdered sweetener. The filling step takes a piping bag or a squeeze bottle.
Fritters, churro bites, and cinnamon rolls round out the donut collection. All fried or baked, no special equipment needed.
Buttery donut holes rolled in cinnamon sweetener while still warm. 24 per batch and they are pop-in-your-mouth sized. I make these as an afternoon snack.
Diced zucchini with apple flavoring and cinnamon stands in for real apple. Fried until the outside is crunchy and golden, then drizzled with a sweet glaze. You would never guess the apple is actually zucchini.
Almond flour dough rolled with cinnamon and butter, sliced into spirals, baked, and topped with cream cheese frosting. No mozzarella cheese hack in the dough. These taste like real bakery cinnamon rolls.
