Keto Cinnamon-Sugar Doughnuts Recipe

Recipe By The Spruce Eats

Just because you follow a keto diet doesn't mean you have to give up breakfast favorites like doughnuts With just a few smart swaps, it is possible to make a keto-friendly version of classic cinnamon-sugar doughnuts. Instead of wheat flour, this recipe calls for blanched almond flour. And instead of traditional granulated sugar, this recipe uses a keto-friendly sugar substitute such as xylitol. Xylitol is a sugar alcohol that is as sweet as regular sugar. It is extracted from the bark of birch trees and can be scooped and measured just as you would traditional granulated sugar when baking. Because the carbs in xylitol dont raise blood sugar or insulin levels the same way as sugar, they dont count towards the total amount of net carbs in a recipe. With the increasing popularity of the keto diet, there are several options when it comes to sugar substitutes. Stevia, sucralose, erythritol, monk fruit sweetener, and yacon syrup are all low-carb sweeteners that can be used in keto recipes. For recipes such as this, it is recommended to use a product that can be measured cup for cup to traditional granulated sugar. These doughnuts are a delicious indulgence when enjoyed while still warm and fresh from the oven. Serve with a cup of coffee or espresso for a low-carb breakfast that won't make you feel like you are on a special diet.
