How to Make Keto Donuts
Step 1. PREHEAT oven 170℃ fan/190°C static/375°F. Spray or grease a donut pan and set aside. Add all ingredients to a mixing bowl, Thermomix or food processor.
Step 2. Mix until combined.
Step 3. FILL Spoon or pipe the batter into the donut pan (see notes). Fill each hole about 3/4 full.
Step 4. BAKE 15-20 minutes until or lightly golden and cooked through. Remove from the pan and cool on a wire rack.
Step 5. Mix the remaining sweetener and cinnamon and sprinkle onto a large plate. Once the donuts have cooled, dip them into the melted butter and roll in the powdered cinnamon sugar. Serve while they are warm as they are so incredibly delicious at this time.
Step 6. The donuts can be cooled completely and dipped in melted chocolate, coated in ganache, or filled with keto whipped cream and berries, as pictured.
Variations
- Classic Glazed Keto Donuts: combine 1/4 cup powdered sweetener and a tablespoon of cream. Use for traditional glazed donuts made with keto-friendly ingredients.
- Chocolate-Frosted Keto Donuts: A rich and decadent chocolate glaze recipe to satisfy your chocolate cravings. I just use melted sugar free chocolate and sprinkles for mine.
- Donut Holes: A delightful twist on the classic cinnamon sugar donut, without the guilt. Use a mini muffin pan or donut hole pan to bake a lot of keto donut holes!
- Donut Muffins: scoop the doughnut batter into muffin holes and bake. Fill a piping bag with keto whipped cream, Keto Lemon Curd, keto custard, chocolate ganache or even keto chocolate mousse and pipe into the centre when cooled.
