I am honestly so impressed with how SIMPLE these keto cinnamon sugar donuts are to make, yet how perfect they turn out every time!
This recipe is ideal for 1-2 people. These sugar free donuts are not only tasty but they are very filling and packed with protein and fibre to keep you full for hours!
Donuts are typically a long process of waiting for the dough to rise, frying them, etc. These thankfully make the process much easier and literally only take 10mins!
Eat them alone or share them with a friend, either way they are the perfect single serve portion size.
Keto Cinnamon Sugar Donut Ingredients:
Almond & Coconut Flour – I use the Kirkland Costco brand of almond flour (I buy it in bulk on Amazon or at Costco itself occasionally) and this brand of coconut flour for this recipe. As I’ve noted in many of my past recipes, the brand of almond and coconut flour can affect the final outcome of the recipe because absorbency can vary depending on how the flour has been processed.
Vital Wheat Gluten – If you have questions about why I include this ingredient, I wrote an entire article on what it is and why I use Vital Wheat Gluten on my keto diet! I also included where to buy it, how many carbs it contains..and how to use it in different kinds of baking.
Truvia – I know use a monkfruit/erythritol blend in place of Truvia because I prefer the taste and it's a bit more keto friendly! I use the SoNourished brand and it's great!
Tools I used to Make Low Carb Cinnamon Sugar Donuts
– Low Carb Substitution Guide – This is totally optional but if you like my recipes, I now have a $5 guide available with all of the substitutions I use to create every recipe on my site. You can use this to convert old traditional recipes and create new keto recipes! You can purchase it here and/or read more if you are interested. 🙂 I appreciate your support so much guys!
– Nutritional Food Scale – AKA my best friend. This little buddy has been with me for over 4 years and never fails. Perfect measurements and only needs the batteries replaced maybe once a year!
Keto Cinnamon Sugar Donuts Tips
– If you find your donut batter too try, you can always add a tiny bit more sour cream
–These are best served warm but you can always store them for later in an air-tight container between layers of wax paper in the freezer.
Keto Cinnamon Sugar Donuts
Ingredients:
Serves: 1-2
Donuts
- 2 tbsp coconut flour
- 1 tbsp almond flour
- 2 tbsp vital wheat gluten (do not sub! This is the protein extracted from bread that gives it it’s elasticity. It has virtually no carbs and works great in low-carb baking to give items a more traditional feel!)
- 1/4 tsp baking powder
- pinch of baking soda
- 1 tsp truvia*
- 1/8 tsp cinnamon
- 1/8 tsp salt
- 2 tbsp + 1 tsp(65g) full fat sour cream
Topping
- 1-2tsp melted coconut oil OR butter for brushing.
- 1 & 1/2 tbsp truvia*
- 1/2-1 tsp cinnamon
- Preheat oven to 375*F.
- Combine all dry ingredients in a small bowl.
- Add the sour cream and stir until a dough forms, knead the dough for about 30s-1min.
- Roll the dough into 2 balls, flatten each slightly and place on a parchment lined/greased baking sheet.
- Use a piping bag tip or a bottle cap to punch out a hole in the center of each ball. (You can bake the extra piece as a donut hole as well!)
- Use your fingers to gently make the donut hole double the size it was.
- Brush the dough with a little butter or coconut oil(optional) and place in the oven.
- Bake for 7-10min(I like mine slightly under-cooked so I go for the 7min but you can bake it longer to cook it fully through!), *flip each donut half way through baking.*
- Remove from the oven and brush with the butter or coconut oil.
- Combine the cinnamon and truvia and dip each donut top until well coated. Serve warm with a side of coffee! Enjoy your delicious keto cinnamon sugar donuts 🙂
