Keto Glazed Donuts

Alright guys, get ready for the easiest Keto Glazed Donuts.

No yeast this time. We are keeping things simple and honestly I think these turned out to be some of my best keto donuts to date. They are even non-keto family member approved.

I’ve also included tips for making them with substitutions as I always get asked what to do if you’re missing an ingredient!

These are just my best guesses of what I would do and not guaranteed to work but I thought I’d help you guys out as best as I could.

These donuts are soft, light, fluffy and delicious. The perfect afternoon snack with a cup of tea or coffee.

I hope you enjoy them!

Keto Glazed 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.
• Powdered Monkfruit Erythritol Sweetener  –   I use the SoNourished brand for both granular and powdered sweetener and love it! The powdered is the best option for no-bake goods and desserts where you want a very smooth final product. I also used the powdered in this recipe because it works great in baked goods but ALSO creates perfect glaze every time!
• Xanthan gum – This is used to create a batter more similar to that of white flour. It helps give the donuts a “doughier” texture.

Keto Glazed Donuts Tips

• Watch your oven when baking these. For me they took around 16-18min but my oven tends to bake more slowly than most. Don’t worry if the brown a bit on the outsides, the centers will take longer to cook and will remain soft. Plus the glaze will cover any imperfections!
• If you do not have a donut pan, you can also make these as muffins and glaze them that way!
• Ultimately I would recommend making these as the recipe states..with almond flour, coconut flour and xanthan gum for the best possible texture BUT if you only have one type of flour…see my suggestions below.

Almond Flour Donuts

• If you only have almond flour, you can try making this recipe using 2 1/4 cups almond flour and leaving out the coconut flour.  (Add more almond flour if your dough seems too runny, it should be quite thick)

Coconut Flour Donuts

• If you only have coconut flour, you can try making this recipe using 1 total cup coconut flour and one extra egg and leave out the almond flour.

What Can I Substitute For Xanthan Gum?

• If you don’t have xanthan gum, you can use a tablespoon of vital wheat gluten (aka gluten flour) OR 1 tsp cornstarch. Although the cornstarch option is not the best substitute, it’s better than nothing!
• If you don’t have any of these ingredients, you can still make the donuts! They just won’t have a texture quite as “chewy”.

Tools I used to Make Keto Glazed 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!

– Donut Pan – Perfect for making any kind of donuts! This is the exact one I use.
