Best Keto Donut Recipe! Glazed Crumb Donuts : Low Carb, Gluten-Free (2024)

Jump to Recipe

I wanted to make a copycat to the Entenmann's Glazed Crumb Donuts but didn't succeed.These are much better. I won't be tempted to grab one of those boxed assortments anymore. These keto doughnuts are also low carb, gluten free, grain free, sugar free, and Trim Healthy Mama friendly.

After a few flops in the kitchen last week I was thrilled to nail these keto donuts on my first try. These are amazing.

My husband enjoyed them and was disappointed I set some aside to take more photos of instead of just letting them all get devoured right away. A friend who was over said she couldn't believe how moist they were and loved the contrast between the donut and the crumbs.

When it comes to low carb donuts, anyone on the keto diet can enjoy eating these without any extra guilt. They taste similar to traditional donuts and are such an easy recipe to make. Not only does this curb your Dunkin Donuts cravings, but the keto-friendly ingredients prove that these types of donuts don't have to be complicated to make.

Ingredients

Butter - This will be used to make the donuts and the crumb topping. The butter keeps the doughnuts moist and makes the crumbs buttery.

Sour cream - Helps to keep the donuts moist and delicious.

Joy Filled Eats Sweetener - This is my favorite sugar substitute to use on a low carb diet.

Almond flour - The main flour used to make these low carb treats. I use almond flour in combination with coconut flour to balance the flavors and textures of both.

Coconut flour - Adds a light sweetness and works well in conjunction with the almond flour.

Egg - Acts as the binding agent to hold everything together.

Vanilla extract - Gives the donuts a nice warm flavor.

Baking powder - Helps the donuts rise and to add texture. Always make sure to use fresh baking powder or baking soda when baking.

Salt - For taste. Adding a bit of salt with enhance all the other flavors.

How to Make this Keto Donut Recipe

Step One: Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.

Step Two: Mix together all the batter ingredients in a large mixing bowl.Then, add the batter to the mini donut molds.

Expert Tip: I don't bother separating the dry ingredients from the wet ingredients. It is ok to just mix them all at once for this recipe.

Step Three: Combine the ingredients for the crumb topping and mix. This will make large crumbs. Spread them with your hands on top of the donut batter.

Step Four: Put the donuts in the oven and bake for 25 minutes.

Step Five: While the donuts are baking, make the glaze. In a saucepan, melt the butter and sweetener over low heat. Cook on low, whisking occasionally. Do this for 12-15 minutes until golden. Cool for 10 minutes, and be sure to whisk occasionally so that it doesn’t separate as it cools.

Step Six: Cool the donuts and then put them on a wire rack. Add a clean baking sheet underneath and then spoon the glaze over the top.

Variations

Add cocoa powder- Do you love chocolate donuts? Adding a tad bit of cocoa powder to the keto donut recipe makes these low-carb donuts have a whole new look and flavor.

Use a different sweetener - While I'm a fan of my sweetener, you can use monk fruit sweetener or a powdered sweetener of your choice for these donuts.

Add toppings - You can make a chocolate glaze or even use a cinnamon sugar topping for these treats. Cinnamon donuts are good, too! You can't go wrong making any type of sweet donuts, in my opinion.
