Monk Fruit
To make these pumpkin spice donuts sweet and tasty, I used monk fruit as the sweetener. I really like its taste, but you can also use your favorite sweetener instead.
Almond & Coconut Flour
These donuts are made with almond flour and coconut flour. The combination of both flours creates the perfect texture.
Using just one kind of flour will give you a much denser donut. Both of these flours are great for low carb baking.
I use them in so many of my recipes. You can buy them in most grocery stores or online. Or, you can grind your own if you have a food processor.
Xanthan Gum
I added a bit of xanthan gum to help bind the ingredients together. You don’t need much of it, and it really makes a difference in the texture of your pumpkin spice donuts.
If you don’t have xanthan gum on hand, you can just leave it out. I highly recommend buying some, though! I also use it in many of my recipes (for example- keto butter cookies and keto egg white bread).
The Glaze
The glaze is optional, but if you want these sugar free pumpkin spice keto donuts to really stand out, the glaze is a must! It’s very easy to make.
Add Nuts On Top
You can add crushed pecans or walnuts on top of your keto pumpkin donuts for an extra crunch. I recommend roasted pecans because they really bring out the flavor of the pumpkin.
Carbs
The great thing about these keto pumpkin spice donuts is that they are perfect for the keto diet. Each one contains just 4.5g of net carbs.
Eat these in moderation and you’ll be able to enjoy a sweet treat without compromising your diet. I like eating these with a cup of coffee or tea in the morning.
