Yum, is all I can really say about these Low Carb Gluten-Free Donuts! They are seriously one of my favorite treats to have that are also Keto friendly. They’re very easy and quick to make. Oh, and believe me, they will not last long. I’ve made these 3 times now and I’ve had to double the recipe each time because the family will run to the kitchen and hover over the tray to grab as many as they can and run like mad so they don’t have to share! Which means, I get my little stash first and then let them know they’re ready! Smart! I know!
To make these Low Carb Gluten-Free Donuts I used and mini donut maker that made things a little easier, and they’re healthier because these are not fried but baked on the donut maker. If you don’t have a mini donut maker you can use a donut pan and bake them in the oven as well. Baking in the oven is quicker because in the donut make you can only make 6 at a time.
I topped mine with powdered sugar (add additional carb info for sugar), melted sugar-free chocolate chips and I made a quick pumpkin flavored glaze as well. Doesn’t really matter what you put on top, these are delicious with your favorite topping or you can eat them naked as well. Um, wait, that didn’t sound good, I mean the donut is naked on top, not me!
