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.

  • Almond milk or coconut milk for milk

  • Unsweetened cocoa powder for hot chocolate or chocolate

  • Sugar-free artificial sweetener for table sugar
