Donuts were never a food we had around the house growing up. Even though my parents were far from low carb, they didn’t buy much that was processed. I would have happily eaten donuts elsewhere whenever given the chance, though. When I started trying to eat healthier years ago, I felt like I was missing out on donuts at the office, so I created this sugar-free keto donuts recipe with almond flour. It’s still one of my favorites, but I’ve improved it over the years.
Whether you call them “keto donuts” or keto doughnuts”, these low carb almond flour donuts taste a lot like regular cake donuts. They make the perfect pairing with a keto coffee, creamy sugar-free hot chocolate, or your fave keto drink from Starbucks!
Why You’ll Love This Sugar-Free Keto Donut Recipe
- Nutty cinnamon sugar flavor
- Delicate, cake-like texture
- Sugar-free “powdered sugar” coating
- Ready in 30 minutes
- Gluten-free, keto-friendly, and sugar-free, with dairy-free and paleo options
- 3g net carbs each
- Plenty of flavor and topping options
Of all the low carb flours, Wholesome Yum Super Fine Blanched Almond Flour is definitely my favorite. It has the finest grind out there, for the best taste and texture in your baked goods. It makes great pancakes (either my favorite keto pancakes blended with coconut flour, or just almond flour pancakes), almond flour pie crusts, buttery keto cookies, almond flour bread, and more. So, it’s no surprise that almond flour donuts are also delicious!
But there’s more to making excellent sugar-free donuts than the flour. The other important piece is the sweetener! Besti Monk Fruit Allulose Blend is my sweetener of choice for all my keto baking recipes, and for good reason: It’s the only one that will create a super moist texture, has no aftertaste, and doesn’t crystallize when storing … all with zero net carbs.
Ingredients & Substitutions
This section explains how to choose the best ingredients for keto low carb donuts, what each one does in the recipe, and substitution options. For measurements, see the recipe card below.
- Wholesome Yum Almond Flour – Almond flour donuts need the best almond flour! This one gives them the perfect cakey texture. Many other brands have a coarser consistency, leaving a gritty texture.
Can’t Have Almond Flour?
If you have a nut allergy, you could try sunflower seed flour as a replacement in your low carb keto donut recipe. The flavor will be a little different and they might turn green, but don’t be alarmed: It’s just a reaction with baking powder. Your sugar-free donuts will still taste good.
You cannot make these donuts with coconut flour, though. It absorbs too much moisture and is too dense on its own.
- Besti Monk Fruit Allulose Blend – This sweetener locks in moisture and has no aftertaste. I previously used erythritol for this recipe, but Besti creates a much better result. It’s also different from other brands of monk fruit sweetener, as most use erythritol as a filler. Other sugar substitutes can work, but the donuts will be more dry. If you still want to use an alternative, check my sweetener conversion chart for exact amounts.
- Baking Powder – Use the freshest possible to help the almond flour rise better. Don’t confuse this with baking soda (which is not the same thing), or your donuts will be bitter.
- Cinnamon – For classic cake donut flavor.
- Sea Salt – Balances the sweet taste.
- Butter – Get an unsalted variety. You can also use melted coconut oil or ghee.
- Almond Milk – Use an unsweetened variety, or whatever keto milk substitute you prefer.
- Eggs – Use whole, large eggs. Although I have not tested substituting flax eggs with this recipe, they should work as well. You could also try other egg alternatives.
- Vanilla Extract – Use a high-quality extract for best flavor.
- Besti Powdered Monk Fruit Allulose Blend – For a classic sugar-free donut powdered coating! You can also use a different frosting or glaze if you prefer (see ideas below!).
How To Make Keto Donuts
This section shows how to make sugar-free donuts, with step-by-step photos and details about the technique, to help you visualize it. For full instructions, including amounts and temperatures, see the recipe card below.
- Combine dry ingredients. In a large mixing bowl, mix together almond flour, Besti, baking powder, cinnamon, and sea salt.
- Mix wet ingredients. In a separate bowl, whisk together melted butter, almond milk, eggs, and vanilla extract.
- Combine. Gently whisk the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients.
- Transfer. Evenly divide the doughnut batter between your donut pan cavities (this donut pan is the perfect size and doesn’t stick), filling them 3/4 of the way.
- Bake. Sugar-free donuts are finished when golden brown and an inserted toothpick comes out clean. Cool completely in the pan.
- Remove. Run a mini silicone spatula (these work great) along edges of donut pan. Twist and release.
- Powder. Pour powdered Besti into a shallow bowl and gently dip the donuts into the sweetener to coat.
Tips For The Best Keto Donuts
For the best flavor and texture for keto doughnuts, take note of these tried and true tips:
- Use room temperature ingredients. Bring your eggs and almond milk to room temperature before you mix them with the melted butter, to avoid solidifying the butter when whisking them together.
- Use the right almond flour. Almond meal or coarse almond flour won’t bake light and fluffy donuts. You need a fine grind and blanched almond flour like this one.
- Choose the best donut pan. Lots of delish donuts didn’t make it when I tried using a silicone donut pan. Darker colored pans will bake more quickly and may burn the outside before the inside is done. This is the donut pan I recommend — it released the donuts effortlessly and didn’t brown them too much.
- Grease the pan very well. Even with the right pan, this sugar-free donut recipe uses a pretty sticky batter. Grease the pan well, especially on the sides and edges.
- For easy batter transfer, try piping. Transfer batter to a piping bag (or zip top bag), snip off one corner and squeeze batter into the donut pan cavities in a circular pattern.
- Fill the right amount. If you fill it too much, the batter will overflow. If you don’t put in enough, you’ll end up with flat donuts.
- Don’t underbake. The keto donuts actually pull away from the pan a little underneath when they are cooked through enough. This only happens when they are a fairly dark golden brown. Don’t be afraid to let them brown. If you use a silicone pan, you’ll probably need to increase the bake time by at least an additional 5 minutes.
- Use fresh baking powder. If your baking powder is old, the donuts will not rise well.
- Cool in the pan. Don’t take out the donuts right away! They will crumble and stick. Cool in the pan before attempting to remove them.
- Remove correctly. Batter will tend to stick around the area where the hole is, so run a mini silicone spatula around that area first. If there’s any batter over the center, remove that first to create the hole. Then, gently try to pry the donuts out around all the edges, and twist before removing. If it really doesn’t want to come out, you may need to bake for longer.
Sugar-Free Donut Variations
Just like regular donuts, you can dress this keto donut recipe with a tasty assortment of flavors and toppings!
Toppings:
- Glaze – Combine 1/4 cup powdered Besti, 1 tablespoon heavy cream (or coconut cream), and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract. Add more cream if needed until you get your desired consistency. Pour over low carb donuts.
- Chocolate Glaze – Whisk together 1/4 cup powdered Besti, 1 tablespoon cocoa powder, 1 teaspoon vanilla extract, and 1 1/2 tablespoons of water or cream. Dip the sugar-free donuts into the glaze.
- Chocolate – For chocolaty flavor, try this chocolate protein donut recipe, or find regular keto chocolate donuts in the Wholesome Yum app on iPhone or Android.
- Sprinkles – After glazing, top donuts with sugar-free sprinkles.
Flavors & Types:
- Apple – Use apple extract instead of vanilla and trade cinnamon for apple pie spice.
- Blueberry – Fold up to 1/2 cup fresh or frozen blueberries into the donut batter before baking.
- Donut holes – Prepare batter as usual and cook in a donut hole pan. (You will likely need less cook time.)
- Pumpkin spice – Substitute homemade pumpkin pie spice instead of cinnamon, and substitute equal parts of canned pumpkin puree instead of butter.
Want a keto donut recipe that is more pillowy and chewy?
While the recipe below makes the best keto cake donuts I’ve ever had, I have a different recipe in my Easy Keto Carboholics’ Cookbook that makes more chewy, pillowy ones similar to Krispy Kreme donuts. Try both and let me know which you prefer!
How to Store Keto Donuts
- Store: Keep keto donuts in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 4 days. Place in the refrigerator to extend storage time to about 1 week.
- Freeze: Freeze donuts on a lined sheet pan until solid, then transfer them to a zip lock bag. They’ll be good up to 6 months in the freezer. Thaw overnight or in the microwave at low power. If possible, freeze without the powdered coating and add it fresh.

Recommended Tools
- Glass Mixing Bowls – Perfect for mixing wet and dry ingredients.
- Donut Pan – This is the one I tested the recipe in, and it doesn’t stick. A silicone one did when I tried, and a darker pan browned too much, so avoid those. If you’re buying one, get this one!
- Mini Silicone Spatulas – Super helpful for removing donuts from the pan, without scratching.
Keto Donuts (Sugar-Free & Easy!)
This sugar-free keto donuts recipe with almond flour is so easy! They taste like regular powdered cake donuts, but with just 2.8g net carbs.
Instructions
Tap on the times in the instructions below to start a kitchen timer while you cook.
-
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (177 degrees C). Grease a nonstick donut pan well.
-
In a large bowl, stir together the almond flour, Besti, baking powder, cinnamon, and sea salt.
-
In a small bowl, whisk together the melted butter, almond milk, egg, and vanilla extract. Whisk the wet mixture into the dry mixture.
-
Transfer the batter evenly into the donut cavities, filling them 3/4 of the way. Bake for about 15 minutes (longer for a silicone pan, possibly less time if your pan is dark – but this lighter nonstick pan works best), until golden brown.
-
Cool completely in the pan. Run a mini silicone spatula along the edges of the donuts (a knife also works, but may scratch your pan), then twist and gently release.
-
Pour Besti Powdered into a small, shallow bowl. Press both sides of the donuts into the powder to coat. (You can also use a different frosting or glaze if you prefer.)

0I have only been on a Keto diet for a couple of weeks, but I have found some great recipes on your site and have loved them all! Today I made these donuts and then frosted them with your Low Carb Keto Cream cheese frosting. I followed both recipes exactly as written and had great results. Thanks so much! I thought I would never be able to give up sweets, but now I do not have to and I am so relieved.
Julien
0Hello, I follow a keto diet but the only sweetener I use is stevia. Erythritol and other cause me a liver failure. Have you an idea to adapt this recipe ? Thanks for this amazing website.
Lisa
0I just made these…..yum! I was very skeptical as I personally have not had the best of luck with almond flour, but I have just started my low carb journey and it is in fact, trial and error. This recipe is just perfect! Thank you for sharing!
Marissa
0YUM!!!! I have a donut maker and I used this recipe to try something different and to surprise my boyfriend who is into the Keto diet. I am so shocked at how moist they were and how tasty they were in general. My donut maker had em baked in 4 minutes ❤️
Maya | Wholesome Yum
0Thank you, Marissa! Good to know they work in a donut maker!
Shannon Cornell
0I made these this morning but subbed coconut milk in for the almond milk since I didn’t have any on hand. I also used a little less sugar substitute since I don’t like that cooling effect it has and I added some ground cloves and nutmeg. They were SO good! I’ve tried a few keto recipes and have not had too much success, but this one is GREAT! Even my son who is super picky really loved them.
Tami
0Just made these. They were absolutely delicious. I used coconut sugar and I will definitely be making them again. Thank you so much for sharing this recipe , this was the first time I ever made donuts in my life. I actually just lost 45 lb and these were perfect because they weren’t too sweet which I really enjoyed but they tasted fantastic and the recipe was super simple
Vickie
0These donuts are soooooo good!!!! They turned out perfectly! One is very filling. Thanks for this wonderful recipe!
Toni sweeney
0These were amazing for this keto gal!! This recipe and must over and over! Thank you!
Jennifer
0Can you make these donuts without a substitute for butter???
Maya | Wholesome Yum
0Hi Jennifer, Do you mean without butter? Coconut oil would probably work.
Doug Hann
0The donuts came out great. I made them without the coating. Not as sweet which is what I wanted. The Wilton pans are perfect. So many ways to change these with Keto coatings.
Kristen
0I absolutely love this recipe. It was simple to make. The donuts didn’t stick. The donuts were light and flavorful.
I am wondering if anyone reading the comments has made these with coconut oil instead of butter and if they were still good.
Sharion R.
0Tried this recipe for the first time today and they were great…..Next batch I will not be adding the Swerve…not fond of the aftertaste but definitely in love with the donut.
Lori
0I prepped my pan, however my donuts were stuck to the pan. Also my pan said to bake only 10-12 minutes.
Maya | Wholesome Yum
0Hi Lori, 10 to 12 minutes definitely isn’t enough for this keto donuts recipe. Any baking time on a donut pan will assume a recipe with wheat flour, so this is totally different. The donuts will definitely stick if not baked long enough.
Melody
0I would love to make these as donut holes. Any suggestions on how to make it?
Maya | Wholesome Yum
0Hi Melody, I haven’t tried that, but assume you can just use a donut hole pan. The baking time might be different.
Jamie
0These turned out pretty well. I followed another commenter’s advice and substituted 1/3 of the almond flour with whey protein powder and used 1/4 sour cream in place of the almond milk. I still added a tablespoon or two of almond milk just to make sure they would be moist enough. To get a true donut flavor, though, it is necessary to replace the cinnamon with nutmeg. I tasted the batter without it, and it was pretty bland. Nutmeg is key. Thanks for the recipe!
Meg Frohlich
0Hi there. I just read an article on how “bad” erythritol is for you. I refused to read it in detail because I’m so tired of hearing one thing after another that’s bad for you. However….. it suggests monk fruit as an alternative. Do you have an opinion on that? Love your web page and recipes btw… thanks for all you share! I DO have donut silicone pan so I will definitely try this!
Wholesome Yum
0Hi Meg, monk fruit is a wonderful sweetener but it can’t always be substituted for erythritol. Read my sweetener guide for more details.
Teresa
0Hi! I have a 12 count mini donut pan. Could you let me know how much the baking time would be reduced to?
Maya | Wholesome Yum
0Hi Teresa, I know it would work but have not tested in a mini pan to say how long it would take. You’d have to check on it for signs of doneness. They should turn pretty dark golden brown.
Cleny Cruz
0Can you please recreate these for the fall holidays – pumpkin donuts?
Maya | Wholesome Yum
0Great idea! Thank you!
Jade
0These are so delicious but mine won’t rise to be rounded like donuts. I even bought new baking powder. They come out round on the bottom and flat like a cake on the top.
Maya | Wholesome Yum
0Hi Jade, You’re right that they don’t rise as much as regular donuts, but if you flip them over you basically get the rounded donut shape from the mold – see the pictures. I’m glad you like the taste!
Tammy
0These donuts were moist and tasty! But mine did not rise on the one side- they were flat like a bagel.. I was kinda depressed 🙁 What did I do wrong? I used new everything- I even bought the pan you suggested. When you say fill up the donut pan 3/4 to the top- is that almost to the top of the donut pan? Maybe I didn’t put enough in each of them? Thank you for any suggestions you may have.
Maya | Wholesome Yum
0They don’t rise as much as regular wheat flour would, but do rise a bit. You can definitely fill them a bit more, but it’s a balance between overflowing and not rising enough. I’m glad you liked the taste!
Annette Pearce
0These are amazing! I only had almond meal instead of almond flour and didn’t have a donut pan so I used a muffin pan. I was surprised at how light and fluffy they were, and the taste! Oh my!! I was so wrapped I made another batch today but just left them plain with no coating and they were divine. I also froze some yesterday and thawed one and they freeze excellent. Thank you Maya!
Maya | Wholesome Yum
0Yay, so glad that worked for you, Annette!
MJM
0Really yummy.
I replaced Almond milk with equal part sour cream & added maple extract in place of vanilla. Also used half whey protein & 1/2 almond flour & half of the Swerve.
Came out super good with a crumb as good as any wheat based recipe.
Maya | Wholesome Yum
0I am so happy you liked them! Thanks for stopping by!
Denise Siri
0I am allergic to almonds, sensitive to coconut flour…vegetarian, keto, any thoughts on using sesame flour? Have you used this before as a swap? Thank you! Love your recipes!
Maya | Wholesome Yum
0Hi Denise, I have used sesame flour but not for this recipe. I’d love to hear if it works for you!
Kevin H
0I just made these and was blown away. I did not grease the pan (oops), and I only had salted butter (kerrygold) which made the coating slightly salty. I purchased the pans off amazon as recommended. They came out of the teflon pans easy. I used swerve (granular).
They came out very dark and I was worried, but they were delicate and sweet and awesome. I actually kind of enjoyed the menthol-esque cooling effect of the swerve on the outside of the donuts.
When I first smelled them I got pretty excited and just wanted to eat them up, but just one was perfectly filling.
This is the second sweet recipe I’ve tried from wholesome yum and I’m so glad I have. Thank you!
Maya | Wholesome Yum
0I am so happy you liked it, Kevin! Have a great day!
Sarah Wilson
0Just wanted to post in case others share my initial trepidation about trying the recipe. I avoid anything super high maintenance, but was intrigued by the positive reviews, so I gave it a try. Success! I did everything the recipe said not to (used a silicone pan and almond flour that was definitely not ultra fine, and I have no idea how old my baking powder is), and they still turned out great! I did liberally butter the silicone pan to make sure I could get the donuts out and also added a smidge of xanthan gum to help hold them together.
Ps- my pan is actually a muffin pan, so I rolled up bits of tin foil and stick them in the middle of each before baking to make a hole. It wont win any beauty awards, but my kids gobbled them up anyway 😉 .
Maya | Wholesome Yum
0I am so happy to hear that, Sarah! Have a great day!
Christina
0Another amazing recipe!! I made these this morning and they came out great. I baked for 28 minutes. Mine didn’t rise very much, I used brand new baking powder but I must have measured something incorrectly. I used your knife method when taking out of the pan and then turned my pans upside down and tapped them and the donuts fell right out. I also bought the pans you suggested. They were a huge hit. Thank you!!
Maya | Wholesome Yum
0I am so happy you liked the donuts, Christina! Have a great day!
Tami
0My batter is a lifting thicker than what’s in the video
Maya | Wholesome Yum
0You can try thinning it out with a bit of almond milk to make it similar to the video.
Joe Gattis
0Thank you!!! These are incredible! We just finished having them for breakfast and even my partner, who isn’t doing keto, liked them.
I had to make a few changes though. First, what makes a donut taste like a donut is nutmeg. I added a few gratings and cut the cinnamon down to about half. Second, I live in South Korea and almond milk almost always contains sugar. I used heavy cream and then added a splash of water when the batter was very thick. Third, I don’t have erythritol, but I do have a stevia and erythritol blend so I used that.
The cream made them a little denser, but I expected that. All in all though they are remarkably like my regular cake donuts.
And finally, my pan must be smaller than yours because I got 12 donuts out of the recipe. Which means each one has about 2.5 grams. So I had three, hehe, and count that as 7.5 grams. Still not bad for a meal!
Thanks again!!
Maya | Wholesome Yum
0I am so happy you liked the donuts, Joe! Thanks for stopping by!
Rosalie
0I made them and love them. They are easy and make such a nice treat for breakfast. Thanks.
Maya | Wholesome Yum
0I am so happy you liked the donuts, Rosalie! Have a great day!
Louise
0Hello,
Can it be just regular baking powder? Will there be any difference in how the donuts come out other than the bp wasn’t gluten free?
Thank you
Maya | Wholesome Yum
0Hi Louise, Yes, any baking powder is fine. Most are actually naturally gluten-free, but not all, so I mention it for those that want to be gluten-free. You can use any kind you have, just make sure it’s fresh.
Maria
0I have a couple of questions…
My donuts came out not tasting sweet. I didn’t put the glaze on. It was pretty flavorless. What can I do? I added extra Erythritol and cinnamon.
I used canola oil to keep them from sticking to the silicone donut mold. Is there a better thing to grease with?
I substituted heavy cream for almond milk. Is that okay? I didn’t have almond milk on hand and I wanted to try this recipe so bad.
Maya | Wholesome Yum
0Hi Maria, Did you use all the same ingredients and amounts? If you did they should be sweet, but I do think they need the coating for the best flavor and sweetness on the outside. That being said, everyone’s sweet tooth is different so you can add more sweetener next time if you want to. I usually don’t recommend canola oil – use butter, coconut oil, or avocado oil instead to grease. Heavy cream should be fine to sub for almond milk, but you might need a tad more since it’s thicker.
Cindy
0Hi, can you substitute ghee for butter in the recipe?
Maya | Wholesome Yum
0Hi Cindy, Yes, you can. The flavor/texture will be just slightly different, but it will definitely work.
CC
0Excellent product from this recipe. Best texture, I tried many recipes but this is my family’s favorite!
Maya | Wholesome Yum
0I am so happy that you liked the donuts! Have a great day!
Cheryl
0I just finished eating my first “muffin”. Delicious. I made 6 muffins and they rose beautifully and came out the pan easily. This was my 2nd attempt at baking a Keto dessert. The first one required confectioners erythritol, so that’s what I used. The texture of the cupcakes seemed fine, but the topping was not the same.
How can I tell if a recipe requires confectioners or granulated erythritol?
Thank you for this yummy treat.
Maya | Wholesome Yum
0Hi Cheryl, I’m glad you liked the muffins! If it just says “erythritol”, you can always assume it’s granulated. If confectioners is needed, it will say “powdered erythritol” on my site. Some other sites call it confectioners, which is the same thing.
Cheryl
0I don’t have the donut pan, but I’m anxious to make this recipe. Have you ever tried to make a coffee cake using an 8 or 9″ square cake pan?
Maya | Wholesome Yum
0Hi Cheryl, I haven’t tried but I’m sure you could do that. The baking time would increase.
Cheryl
0Thank you. I saw some of the other comments and may try a cupcake pan (I must have missed that before). I also like the idea of cream cheese frosting. Can’t wait to try them.
Tiffany
0I have a diabetic son. Would these freeze well so I could bring them to his school on donut day?
Maya | Wholesome Yum
0Hi Tiffany, Yes, you can freeze them. I haven’t tried freezing with the coating though, so you may want to add that right before.
helen
0how many carbs per donut ?
Maya | Wholesome Yum
0Hello Helen. There are 5 grams of carb and 3 grams net carbs in each donut. I hope that helps!
Tracey
0Thanks for the yummy donut recipe. I have an electric Dutch pancake cooker and thought I’d never use it again but I tried your recipe in it and wella! They only take 4-5 minutes each side and turn with two toothpicks. Perfect little round balls. Rolled in Nat via and cinnamon. Might prefer a different sweetener but yum all the same!
Maya | Wholesome Yum
0I am happy to hear that, Tracey! Thanks for stopping by!
Norma
0OMG. These are so good. Had no issues with sticking to the pan but I added a 1/4 tsp of xanthan gum, not sure if that helped but I didn’t even need to release from the pan they just fell out whole. Awesome!
Maya | Wholesome Yum
0I am so happy to hear that, Norma! Thanks for stopping by!
Monique
0Try this recipe in cupcake form with a bit of cream cheese frosting. You will be trying to prove to all those muggles that they’re actually low carb. Live your best keto life.
Maya | Wholesome Yum
0I am so happy you liked the donuts, Monique! Thanks for stopping by!
Amanda Raibourn
0This recipe is FABULOUS! I just made it and used a muffin pan. I got 12 smaller muffins out of the batch. I baked them until they were dark golden and pulled away from the pan. After sitting on a cooling rack they got wonderfully hardened to a nice little crunch then the inside is so moist and tender. I’m a crunchy texture person so this is perfect for me!
I use Lakanto monkfruit sweetener and there is no chilling effect from this recipe that I detect sometimes. (Maybe the cinnamon helps offset that?) I also used HWC instead of almond milk because it was what I had. It was so simple and they are so good that I know I will keep these made from now on! Thank you!!
Maya | Wholesome Yum
0I am so happy you liked the donuts, Amanda! Thanks for stopping by!
Tonya
0Amazing!!!! Love them, I made cupcakes, I didn’t have donut pan. I will be making them again. I didhave to add extra cinnamon and bit nutmeg extravanilla.
Next time Ill add nuts. Otherwise great go to snack.
Maya | Wholesome Yum
0I am so happy you liked the donuts, Tonya! Thanks for stopping by!
Melissa Szucs
0I made these donuts tonight and they were AMAZING!!!
I did use cashew milk instead of almond milk and I can’t believe they are low carb!
Thank you so much Maya!
With all your great recipes eating this way is so much easier and fun!
Maya | Wholesome Yum
0Thank you, Melissa! I’m so glad you liked them. Do be aware that cashew milk is higher in carbs than almond milk, so the carb count would be a little higher if using cashew milk.
Melissa Szucs
0Thanks Maya i didn’t think of that!
They were so great and all your tips helped as usual!!!! Yet one more awesome recipe of yours to add to the repeat frequently list! Thanks again!
Maya | Wholesome Yum
0You are welcome, Melissa!
Lori
0These donuts are why I can stay on a Keto diet! They are delicious without the cinnamon topping. The only problem is I have to stop myself from eating all of them. So good!!
Maya | Wholesome Yum
0I am so happy to hear that, Lori! Please come back again soon!
Kelly
0THESE ARE GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOD!
I made ’em in a silicone pan…just sprayed well with butter flavor Pam…zero issues! I can’t wait to monkey around with the recipe, because the recipe is SOLID. I am going to fiddle with flavors, add-ins, and maybe glaze. I think they might be great just plain, though. I’m so elated!
Maya | Wholesome Yum
0I am so happy to hear that, Kelly! Thanks for stopping by!
Jessica
0I made these today as muffins instead of donuts AND I made a batch of chocolate…. I did everything the same except changed the cinnamon for sugar free cocoa and added some dark chocolate chips!!!! So so good.
Maya | Wholesome Yum
0I love that you added chocolate chips, Jessica!
Angie
0Made this with the exact ingredients listed, it tasted a little bitter for me and cant figure out where the bitterness came from. I even ommited sea salt from it. Do you have any tips to make this right?
Maya | Wholesome Yum
0Hi Angie, Did you use baking soda instead of baking powder? That is the most common reason for bitterness. If it isn’t that, one of your ingredients must have been going bad.
Jolina S Allison
0I made this recipe and put it in mini muffin tins because I don’t have a donut pan. Turned out wonderful! Cooked for 15 minutes!
Maya | Wholesome Yum
0I am so happy to hear that, Jolina! Thanks for stopping by!
Teresa
0I tried the recipe followed the instructions to a tee . I have a non stick donut pan but sprayed it anyway just to make sure. They did not want to come out of the pan ! Very disappointed in the result . they taste great but looks like an earthquake.
Maya | Wholesome Yum
0Hi Teresa, I have tips about this in the post above the recipe card!
Heather
0Made with heavy whipping cream subbed for almond milk since it’s what I had… turned out delicious… amazing recipe… crispy crunch outside… moist delicious inside… yum!
Maya | Wholesome Yum
0Thank you for sharing your substitutions with us, Heather!
Kayla
0I made these donuts super skeptically but holy crap am I impressed. They taste like the little mini donuts you get from the carnival. I baked them until I thought they were dark brown enough but I ate a donut as soon as the timer went off and it crumbled quite a bit. Luckily I had the oven on and could just pop them back in. I would recommend these to everyone!!!
Maya | Wholesome Yum
0I am so happy you liked them, Kayla! Thanks for stopping by!
Angela
0Thank you for this recipe!! These were awesome!! I used egg replacer so my son with allergies could eat them!! I used a generous amount coconut oil on silicone donut bakeware! Made six donuts!! So yum yum!!!! Thank you!!

0I am happy you liked the donuts, Angela!
