Our Keto Donuts Recipe
Following a keto diet means keeping everything you eat low-carb. While there are a lot of things you can eat on keto that will not derail your diet, many of those foods are unlikely to satisfy your sweet tooth.
So, how do you strike a balance?
Keto baking involves using sugar substitutes such as allulose, sucralose, monk fruit sweetener, or other sugar-free options. Our low-carb donut recipes are sugar and gluten-free.
Can You Eat Donuts on Keto?
Traditional donuts, typically high in carbohydrates and sugar, are incompatible with a keto diet.
So you have to ask yourself, “How can I modify this recipe to fit into my keto lifestyle?”
Easy swaps to make a recipe keto-friendly include:
-
Almond flour or coconut flour for regular flour
-
Almond milk or coconut milk for milk
-
Unsweetened cocoa powder for hot chocolate or chocolate
-
Sugar-free artificial sweetener for table sugar
-
Sugar-free chocolate chips for regular chocolate chips
-
Monk fruit powdered sweetener for regular powdered sugar
