These Keto Vanilla Donuts taste just like the real thing, just without all the sugar and carbs! They are deliciously moist and melt-in-your-mouth good.
I am obsessed with these other keto donuts recipes: lemon blueberry and strawberry donuts. Of course, this recipe for classic vanilla flavor is AMAZING. So, this is it folks – this is the recipe that started it all. The recipe that started with entire blog and my journey to being a recipe developer/food photographer/blogger. This recipe remains one of mine and my families favorite recipes, I make it pretty often and finally decided to redo the photos and it is so much seeing how far my photos have come. These are literally the first recipe I ever photographed and made back when I had 2 months off work because we had to close. I am very lucky to have unlocked a true passion and fun hobby that I positively love! So, let’s get to it – I can’t wait for you to try this recipe!

Frequently Asked Questions About Keto Donuts
If you do not have a donut pan, you can use a muffin tin with a rolled up ball of tin foil in the middle so you can still get that donut hole in the middle!
The texture is more compact or ‘cakey’ and the color is also much pale. However, I personally enjoy a baked donut more than a fried one – plus it save calories.
Store these donuts in an airtight container on your counter for up to 5 days, or in an airtight container in your fridge for up to 8 days.
Absolutely! This recipe freezes very well. Freeze in an airtight container and they should keep for 4-6 months.
