Keto Donuts | Donut Shop Quality Chocolate Glazed Donuts

These collagen keto donuts are the real deal. They're as soft as a pillow, totally cakey, and they have the most delicious sugar free chocolate glaze on top. And the best part about these keto donuts is that they have just 2 NET CARBS each, but taste like they're straight from a donut shop!

THE BEST KETO DONUTS 

I've made quite a few low carb donut recipes - like this powdered "sugar" one, this "apple cider" one, and this peanut butter one - and although all of them are delicious, this keto donuts recipe is by far my favorite one.

And I'm not just saying that lightly - I really mean it.

These donuts have the most wonderful taste and texture. The quality is just unreal, and I've seriously never had anything like them. 

And the chocolate glaze that coats each one adds the perfect touch to an already decadent donut.

Also, since these are low carb and sugar-free, they're super healthy donuts - great to make/share with the kids.

But the addition of collagen makes them even healthier, and it is what puts these glazed keto donuts above the rest. 

The collagen powder creates a soft, cakey, light, and fluffy texture that is just unbelievable. Plus, collagen is really good for your hair, skin, and nails, so you'll look great after eating these donuts!

And did I mention that each one has only 2.2 NET CARBS? I think I did, but it's worth repeating.

So, you can eat a donut for breakfast, an afternoon snack, and dessert.

Anyway, let's get into the ingredients and steps you'll need to follow to make them.

INGREDIENTS 

So, you will need quite a few ingredients for these donuts, but almost all of them are staple keto baking ingredients. And I bet you have most of them at home already. 

Here is what you'll need for the donuts:

• ½ cup collagen powder
• 3 tablespoons coconut flour
• 1 cup almond flour
• ⅓ cup confectioners swerve
• 2 teaspoons baking powder
• 2 large eggs
• 1 egg yolk
• 2 tbsps unsweetened almond milk
• 2 tbsps sugar-free Torani vanilla syrup (or more almond milk + 1 tablespoon confectioners swerve)
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

And for the glaze:

• ⅓ cup sugar free chocolate chips
• 2 tbsps ghee (or butter)
• Sugar-free sprinkles 

Now, the only ingredient you may not have and that is unique to these collagen donuts is, of course, the collagen powder. And you're going to want to make sure you get it because it is what makes these keto donuts taste amazing, gives them their one-of-a-kind texture, and adds a good amount of protein.

KETO FLOUR OPTIONS

So, as you may have noticed, we will be using a combination of almond flour and coconut flour. Both combined with the collagen create pure donut gold.

But if you have an almond allergy or want another flour option, you substitute the almond flour with either an equal amount of walnut flour or sunflower seed flour. Either one will work well in this recipe and create the same texture.

That said, you DO NOT want to substitute the almond flour for more coconut flour. Or vice, versa.

Coconut flour is super absorbent and will ruin the texture if it is the main flour used. 

And I do not suggest using anything in place of the coconut flour - the absorbent property in a small amount will add some crumbliness that is an excellent addition to the donut texture. Also, for what it's worth, you can't taste coconut in the final product.

KETO SWEETENER OPTIONS

Ok, so to make these donuts sugar free ones, we will be using Confectioners Swerve. 

I love using Confectioners Swerve for keto recipes because it has 0 calories, no sugar, and is just as sweet as sugar. So the keto donuts taste wonderfully sweet.

Another keto sweetener you can use is Lakanto's Powdered Monkfruit Sweetener. It has the same qualities as Swerve, so it's a 1:1 substitution.

Now, a second sweet addition we will be adding is sugar-free Torani syrup. And the syrup adds some more sweetness with a hint of vanilla flavor that really takes these donuts to another level. 

But if you do not want to use the syrup, you can replace it with an equal amount of almond milk and 1 more tablespoon (10g) of Confectioners Swerve.

HOW TO MAKE KETO COLLAGEN DONUTS 

As if you needed another reason to love this recipe, it is pretty easy to make and will only take you around 30 minutes. 

All you really need to do is mix the ingredients and then bake the donuts to perfection. 

So gather your ingredients and let's get baking!

STEP 1: MIXING THE DRY INGREDIENTS

First things first, preheat your oven to 350°F (180°C).

Then take out a super large bowl and add in your collagen powder, coconut flour, and almond flour. 

Next, sift in your Confectioners Swerve to sweeten these donuts up. And make sure you sift in the swerve - it will help get rid of any hard, clumped pieces that are tough to dissolve. 

Then add your baking powder to the bowl and whisk all of your dry ingredients until they're well combined. 

STEP 2: MIXING THE WET INGREDIENTS

For your wet ingredients, take out a medium-sized bowl and add in your two eggs and one egg yolk. 

And then, add your unsweetened almond milk, Torani syrup, and vanilla extract to the bowl.

Then get your whisk back out and whiskify all of your wet ingredients until they are well combined. 

STEP 3: MAKING THE DONUT BATTER

So, now you should have a bowl of dry ingredients and a bowl of wet ingredients.

You can pour your wet ingredients into your bowl of dry ingredients and mix them with a spatula until a thick, almost sticky batter forms. 

STEP 4: BAKING YOUR DONUTS

First, coat a 6 slotted donut tray with some baking spray. And I highly suggest using a silicone donut tray - it is totally worth the investment. 

I used to use a nonstick donut tray, and ironically, the donuts always stuck to the tray and would break into pieces. So save yourself the frustration and grab a silicone one. 

Anyways, pour your donut batter into the baking sprayed donut slots. Make sure you fill each hole about 90% of the way full, and then you can smooth the batter out with a spatula to make it even. 

If you are using a silicone tray, put it on a baking sheet before putting it in the oven. This makes it much easier to transfer in and out of the oven. 

Then you can put your donuts in the oven and bake for about 20 minutes - or until a toothpick comes out clean when inserted in the donuts. 

Once they're baked, let your donuts cool down to room temperature in the tray, then remove them from the tray and transfer them to a wire rack to finish cooling.

And while they're cooling, you can make the glaze.

STEP 5: MAKING THE GLAZE

To make the chocolate glaze, add your sugar-free chocolate chips to a shallow microwave-safe bowl along with the ghee. And you can use butter instead of ghee, but the ghee gives the glaze a complimentary nutty flavor. 

Next, mix your chocolate chips and ghee together - this will help them combine better when microwaving.

Then put your bowl in the microwave for about 1 minute and mix the melted chocolate chips and ghee to combine them to form your glaze.

STEP 6: COMPLETING YOUR KETO DONUTS

By now, your donuts should be cooled and ready to glaze. 

Dip each donut into the glaze and cover as much of it as you want. 

Then top your donuts off with some sugar-free sprinkles, let the glaze solidify for a few minutes, and enjoy!

STORING YOUR KETO DONUTS

So, as you probably figured out, this recipe will make 6 decadent donuts. 

And if you like them as much as I do, they'll probably be gone within a few days. But if your family tries one, they'll be gone by the end of the day! 

If you do have some left, they taste just as good - if not better - leftover.

You can store your donuts in an airtight container or resealable bag at either room temperature or in the fridge for up to 1 week.

So technically, if you make them just for yourself, you could eat one for breakfast almost every day of the week! Talk about having a reason to jump out of bed in the morning.

NUTRITIONAL INFORMATION 

As I mentioned earlier, each donut has only 2.2 NET CARBS! And the collagen adds in some extra protein, making the macros even better.

Check out the full nutritional breakdown for 1 donut:

• 195. Calories
• 14.g Fat
• 5.5g Carbs
• 3.3g Fiber
• 2.2g NET CARBS
• 13g Protein 

These collagen donuts are low carb, sugar-free, healthy, and addictively delicious. They just might be the best keto donuts in the world. 

Honestly, I'll go as far as saying that they're even better than any high-carb donut you can get. They literally taste like they're from Krispy Kreme!

My friends and family who have tried them sure think so, and I have a feeling you will too. 

Anyways, I hope you enjoy this keto donut recipe as much as I do.

If you make it, leave me a comment below and let me know what you think! I'd love to hear how they turned out.
