Homemade Keto Donuts

Making homemade donuts are fun to make, requires minimal prep, and requires no frying whatsoever, as these donuts are baked.

Now, I’ve had some other keto-friendly donuts here before, like my Easy Keto Nutella Doughnuts - Gluten-Free as well as my Keto Blackberry Lemon Muffins that are made in a donut pan to create the perfect crater to stuff with delicious blackberries but a sugar-free hot honey keto donut recipe...who would have thunk!:-)

When you actually google "hot honey donut", there are actually only 2 such recipes TOTAL on the internet!

That's right...only 2 recipes on the entire internet and definitely not ANY that are sugar-free or gluten-free!

So, not only is this a completely unique and creative recipe, but this keto donut recipe will is also so good that it will satisfy your Dunkin donuts, Krispy Kreme, or any other donut chain cravings!

THE INGREDIENTS IN GLUTEN FREE DONUTS

Almond flour– Use blanched almond flour, as it provides a fluffier and lighter texture, perfect for low-carb donuts! While almond meal will also work, the texture will be a little heavier.

Coconut flour - Coconut flour is a very absorbent flour and helps to soak up some of the hot honey syrup. If you don't have any coconut flour, you can replace it with more almond flour but you will need to double the amount.

Granulated sweetener– I’ve tried this with both erythritol and monk fruit sweeteners, and both work very well. You can use brown sugar substitute or white.

Baking soda– Gives the donuts some rise and fluffiness.

Eggs– Be sure the eggs are at room temperature. I haven’t tried this with a flax egg or egg substitute.

Apple Cider Vinegar– Works with baking soda to puff up the donuts.

Sugar-Free Hot Honey - You can't make these donuts without this ingredient! You can either use my Homemade Sugar-Free Hot Honey Syrup or my "cheater" easier Hot Honey recipe

Salt, Cinnamon and Vanilla Extract - These ingredients help to round out the flavours of the doughnuts.

INGREDIENTS IN THE HOT HONEY GLAZE

GLUTEN FREE BAKED DONUTS RECIPE

Baking donuts instead of frying them make them much easier to make. No hot oil or greasy mess to clean up when these donuts are done!

Also, I have made this recipe to use only 1 bowl so that also means that there is very little clean-up!

Add the wet ingredients to the bowl and whisk until all the ingredients have been incorporated
Whisk in the dry ingredients making sure that there are no clumps remaining
Pour the ingredients evenly into each doughnut well.
Bake the donuts for 12-15 minutes, until light golden brown.
While the donuts are baking, make the glaze by melting the sugar-free white chocolate chips, powdered sweetener, cinnamon and sugar-free hot honey together in a small microwaveable bowl
After the donuts have cooled, dip or carefully pour the topping on to each donut
OPTIONAL - While the glaze is still warm, sprinkle any additional ingredients such as crushed nuts, sugar-free sprinkles or bacon crumbles over the tops of the donuts.

Can I make these low carb donuts as muffins?

These low-carb keto donuts can easily be made as muffins. The preparation and instructions remain the same, simply grease a 12-count muffin tin or line with muffin liners and bake for 12-15 minutes.

Keto Doughnuts Tips

Donut pans are all different sizes - if you have too much batter, simply pour it into a small glass baking dish
Do not overbake the donuts, as they continue to bake in the pan while they cool.
If you choose to frost the donuts, they should be at room temperature before doing so. Warm donuts will see the frosting melt off and chilled donuts will see the frosting become still and hardened.

Storing and Freezing Keto Doughnuts

To store: Leftover donuts can keep at room temperature provided they are eaten within 3 days. If you’d like to keep them longer, store them in the refrigerator.
To freeze: Place donuts in a freezer friendly container or ziplock bag. The donuts can be frozen for up to 6 months.

Yield: 6 donuts 1x

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 180C/350F. Grease a 6-count donut pan generously and set it aside.
In a mixing bowl, add all the wet ingredients and mix well. Next, add the dry ingredients and combine your dry and wet ingredients, until just combined.
Pour the batter into the doughnut pan.
Bake the donuts for 10-13 minutes. Remove from the oven and let cool for 5 minutes, before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely. Drizzle the glaze over the donuts and decorate if desired

To Make the Glaze:

In a small bowl, combine the glaze ingredients and microwave until the chocolate chips have melted, about 30 seconds. Stir to combine the ingredients and drizzle the donuts with the glaze.

Notes

You may have too much batter - different donut pans have different levels of depth. If you end up with too much batter, add the remaining batter to a greased ramekin and bake in the oven with the donuts
