Keto Low Carb Pumpkin Glazed Donuts

This weeks recipe is Keto Low Carb Pumpkin Donuts this is recipe #2 as part of our 2019 Keto Thanksgiving Recipe series.  We know that there is absolutely no reason to not remain strong on keto during the holidays.  All it takes is a little bit of planning and a willingness to try new things, however even many of the traditional Thanksgiving recipes can be modified and turned into Keto Low Carb friendly dishes that the entire family can enjoy.  This recipe will truly get you into the holiday spirit.  These delicious donuts would be a great holiday dessert for your holiday guest before and after Thanksgiving.

November is the season of the pumpkin.  With their warm orange color, pleasingly moist texture, and delightful pumpkin flavor, these baked donuts are the perfect crisp autumn day treat.

I’ve always loved donuts… I love the taste, how they melt in your mouth, and make you feel like a kid again.

If you thought you could never have donuts again because you were practicing the keto lifestyle, you’re in for a surprising treat.  It’s also nice to be able to indulge every once in a while, especially during the holiday seasons when it seems everyone else is treating themselves.

Have you ever had pumpkin flavored something, and then not tasted the pumpkin? You won’t find that here. These have a delicious 100% real pumpkin flavor and lots of pumpkin spice. I topped my donuts with a delicious maple cream cheese glaze, but these would be equally fantastic just dusted with cinnamon and natural sweetener.

Reasons why you will love these pumpkin donuts:

  • They’re  baked, not fried
  • They make the perfect size batch not too big and not too small
  • They have a nice cake donut texture.
  • They are pretty easy, and are ready in a short amount of time.
  • They are perfectly spiced and delicious plain, but awesome with glaze.

I really recommend silicone donut molds, and allowing sufficient cooling times. Also, using a food storage bag, really helps get the batter into the molds quickly.

FOLLOW-UP TASTE TEST by C.J.

So these donuts lasted for about 4 days at home.  And they remained moist and flavorful the entire time. We would heat them in the microwave for about 10 – 12 seconds to knock of the chill because we kept them refrigerated.  But they were definitely, moist and delicious.  I look forward to when Sarah can make another batch.

    1. Hi Carla, in theory that should work because the oat fiber is for the texture. Although we’ve never made them this way. Also not sure about the difference in macros.

  1. Thank you for all your recipes. Although I am 66 I am a novice cook/baker. I literally read the recipes word for word. I have learned so much from you. I am only eating KETO from your recipes. You are doing me a real services.
    On the instructions step #3 it says to add the swerve and I do not see it in the list of ingredients. I re-watched the video 3 times and did not find it so I proceeded. I also thought you said to use unsalted butter in something because you are adding salt to the recipe. Is that correct for this recipe? Also in the instructions could you please indicate that you should remove them from the molds after a period and put them on the cooling racks. Like I said I am a literal baker. If it’s not there I don’t know to do it. I found out on the video. Thanks again. Karen

    1. Hi Karen, there is a typo in the recipe. It should say “sukrin gold” which is a brown sugar natural sweetener…”swerve” is a brand and they also have a brown sugar natural version as well… Karen we rarely use unsalted butter in any of recipes.

      Regarding the cooling…we can add clearer instructions about cooling time. We pretty much let them cool completely before we removed them from the mold and frosted. In fact because we were short on time doe doing the video and other obligations we actually refrigerated them to speed up the cooling process…you wouldn’t need to do that but let them cool completely to avoid breaking them.

      1. Thank you. I have a problem with the frosting. Mine is all lumpy. Did I not soften the cream cheese enough ( I had it on the counter for several hours)? I used an electric mixer to try and blend it further.
