Keto Strawberry Donuts

Clocking in at 4.5 net carbs, these low-carb donuts are a sweet treat.

These cake donuts are baked, making the recipe easy to follow. Seriously, if you haven’t tried making keto donuts and you also happen to love strawberries, then this recipe is for you.

Using sour cream in the batter of these strawberry keto donuts ensures they have a moist, tender crumb. I also added fresh, chopped strawberries because I really wanted to pack this recipe with strawberry flavor. 

The use of a combination of almond and coconut flour plays a role in getting the perfect cake donut texture.  If you are worried that coconut flour can overpower the strawberry flavor, trust me, that’s not the case.

How To Make Keto Strawberry Donuts

To make these low carb strawberry donuts, start by preheating the oven to 350 degrees and greasing two 6-cavity donut pans. I find that a buttered donut pan works best.

Then melt 1/4 cup of unsalted butter and set it aside. In a large mixing bowl, combine the dry ingredients: almond flour, coconut flour, sugar substitute, baking powder, and salt.

Next, you’ll add all the wet ingredients—the sour cream, melted butter, vanilla extract, and three eggs—one at a time to the dry ingredients, and mix the batter using an electric mixer until fully incorporated.

Fold the chopped strawberries, then pipe the batter into the prepared donut pans, filling them just to the rim.

Bake for 25–30 minutes until fully cooked, then allow the donuts to cool to room temperature before removing them from the mold.

Once removed, place the donuts on a baking rack and make the icing and strawberry jam sauce. For the icing, melt butter and mix it with the confectioner’s sugar substitute, strawberry extract, sea salt, and hot water.

Dip the donuts into the icing and set them on a baking rack to dry. For the jam sauce, cook all the ingredients over medium heat, then drizzle a small amount over the iced donuts.

Allow the donuts to come to room temperature before serving for the best flavor.

Any leftover sauce can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.

Store the iced donuts in a sealed, airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days, or freeze them for up to 3 weeks without the strawberry jam sauce.

Sugar-Free Strawberry Jam Sauce

Some would argue that adding a drizzle of sugar-free strawberry jam sauce is totally unnecessary. Well, tell that to my family.

When I asked them what they thought about the idea, they all agreed that it would be a welcomed addition and then proceeded to add more to their donuts. 

As a plus, you’ll have a little leftover to spread on your favorite keto bread, so there’s that.

The recipe only calls for a tablespoon per donut, but you can certainly use less or leave it out altogether. If you opt not to use it, you can reduce the carbs by one net carb per donut. 

Sugar-Free Sweetener Options

As far as which sugar substitute to use for these keto strawberry donuts, I have a few recommendations. If you are a regular on our site, you know I’m a huge fan of Lakanto Monk Fruit. 

This is because the texture of Lakanto is spot on since there is barely any aftertaste. It is a monk fruit and erythritol blend.

I love that Lakanto Monk Fruit is all-natural, and it gets its sweetness from antioxidants called mogrosides, instead of fructose or sucrose. And it has zero calories and zero glycemic impact. 

I’m also partial to Swerve, another erythritol blend.  It works well in this keto donut recipe and is a great choice if you are looking for a sugar substitute that has no bitter aftertaste and measures just like sugar.

It’s also a sugar substitute that browns and caramelizes just like sugar. Swerve is made from ingredients found in select fruits and starchy root vegetables and contains no artificial ingredients, preservatives, or flavors.

Like Lankanto, Swerve has a 0% impact on blood sugar.

If you are a fan of stevia, you can use the stevia and erythritol-based brand Pyure in this recipe.

However, it’s important to note that if you are using Pyure, you will want to use half the amount called for in this recipe since it’s a much sweeter option.

You will need a confectioner’s sugar substitute for the donut icing. Thankfully, both Lakanto and Swerve have great ones.

OOOFlavors Strawberry Extract

You may have noticed that I added a couple of drops of oooflavor ‘s fresh strawberry concentrate to the icing. All of their extracts and concentrates are unsweetened and can safely be enjoyed while doing keto.

Can you make these donuts without the extract? Sure, but if, like me, you want a real boost in strawberry flavor, then I recommend you get your hands on some. Otherwise, feel free to substitute with vanilla extract.
