Ingredients You’ll Need

Most of these are pantry staples for anyone on a keto diet. If you don’t already have them, they’re easy to find in any grocery store.

For the Donuts:

• 2 cups almond flour
• 1/4 cup coconut flour
• 1/2 cup granulated monk fruit sweetener (or any keto sweetener)
• 1 teaspoon baking powder
• 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
• 1 teaspoon cinnamon
• 1/2 teaspoon nutmeg
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 3 large eggs
• 1/3 cup melted butter or coconut oil
• 1/2 cup unsweetened almond milk
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

For the Cinnamon Coating:

• 1/4 cup granulated keto sweetener
• 1 teaspoon cinnamon
• 2 tablespoons melted butter

How to Make Keto Cinnamon Spice Donuts

Step 1: Preheat & Prepare

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease a donut pan with butter or non-stick spray to make sure the donuts don’t stick.

Step 2: Mix the Dry Ingredients

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the almond flour, coconut flour, sweetener, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt. This helps evenly distribute everything so you don’t get clumps.

Step 3: Add the Wet Ingredients

In a separate bowl, beat the eggs, then add the melted butter, almond milk, and vanilla extract. Stir until everything is well combined.

Step 4: Combine & Mix

Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and mix until smooth. The batter should be thick but still easy to spoon into the donut pan. If it feels too dry, add a splash more almond milk.

Step 5: Fill the Donut Pan

Spoon the batter into the greased donut molds, filling each about 3/4 full. If you overfill, they’ll puff up too much and lose their donut hole.

Step 6: Bake Until Golden

Bake for 15-18 minutes, or until the donuts are golden brown and a toothpick inserted comes out clean. Let them cool in the pan for about 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack.

Step 7: Coat in Cinnamon Sugar

Mix the cinnamon and sweetener in a small bowl. Brush each donut with melted butter, then dip or sprinkle them with the cinnamon mixture. This gives them that classic cinnamon-sugar crunch.

Step 8: Let Them Set & Enjoy

Let the donuts sit for a few minutes so the coating sticks well. Then, grab one (or two) and enjoy with a cup of coffee or tea.

Tips for the Best Keto Cinnamon Spice Donuts

• Use Fresh Baking Powder & Baking Soda – These help with fluffiness. If they’re old, your donuts won’t rise as much.
• Don’t Overmix – Stir the batter until just combined. Overmixing can make them dense.
• Let Them Cool – It’s tempting to eat them right away, but letting them cool slightly helps with texture.
• Adjust Sweetness to Taste – Some like a stronger sweet flavor, others prefer mild. Taste the batter before baking and adjust as needed.
• No Donut Pan? No Problem – Use a muffin tin instead. The taste is the same, just a different shape.

How to Store & Reheat

If you don’t finish them all at once (which is hard), here’s how to store them:

• Room Temperature: Keep in an airtight container for up to 2 days.
• Refrigerator: Store in the fridge for up to a week.
• Freezer: Freeze in a sealed bag for up to 3 months. Just thaw and warm up when ready.

To reheat, pop them in the microwave for 10-15 seconds or warm in the oven at 300°F for about 5 minutes.

What to Serve with Keto Cinnamon Spice Donuts

These are great on their own, but if you want to take things up a notch, try:

• A cup of hot coffee or keto chai latte
• A dollop of whipped cream on top
• A drizzle of keto caramel sauce
• A side of scrambled eggs or bacon for a balanced breakfast

Conclusion

These keto cinnamon spice donuts bring all the warm, cozy flavors of traditional donuts without the sugar overload. They’re soft, full of cinnamon goodness, and just the right amount of sweet. Whether you make them for breakfast, a snack, or a special treat, they’ll hit the spot without kicking you out of ketosis.
