Gluten Free Keto Mini Glazed Donut Muffins Recipe
Creating Gluten-Free Keto Mini Glazed Donut Muffins is a delightful way to enjoy the classic flavors of donuts in a healthier, low-carb form. They remind me of a very moist cake donut hole, a sort of donut popper, but gluten free and so close to the real thing!1g fat/1g protein/1g carb/1g fiber
Equipment
- Mini Donut Pan
- Sheet Pan
- Large Bowl
- Whisk
- Truffle scoop or tablespoon measuring spoon
Ingredients
Donut Ingredients
- 1 cup almond flour
- 2 large Eggs
- 1/2 cup unsweetened almond milk
- 2 tsp baking powder
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 1 tbsp confectioners erythritol
- 1/2 tsp cinnamon
- 1/4 tsp nutmeg
- 1 package Simply Delish Vanilla Pudding mix
Glaze Ingredients
- 1/3 cup confectioners erythritol
- 1/ tsp vanilla
- 2 tbsp unsweetened almond milk
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350F and place your silicone mini muffin pan on a large baking sheet to stabilize it.
- In a large bowl measure, all of your dry ingredients and whisk well.
- The pudding mix and almond four may tend to clump so reach in with your hand and break up the lumps by smashing between your fingers and thumb. Alternately press through a sieve, but smashing dry ingredients is not too messy so I just do it.
- Add in your unsweetened almond milk and eggs one at a time then whisk until a soft dough forms. Keep whisking until the batter is smooth and let it sit for 5 minutes.
- With a small truffle scoop or a tablespoon measuring spoon, divide batter up between each muffin well. Add the prepared muffins to your 350 F oven and bake at least 15-20 minutes.
- Your oven may run hotter so it is best to check earlier and need to bake more than the latter which would be tough muffins. My oven took 20-25 minutes before they were set in the middle and toothpick tested with a few crumbs.
- Watch them closely as you want to remove them once they are lightly golden brown. If you gently press in the middle, it should spring back and not be gooey.
- Let them cool in the mini doughnut pan for 10 minutes until warm to touch. Gently flip them onto a wire rack so they can cool all the way.
- In a small bowl with your confectioners erythritol, add your vanilla extract and unsweetened almond milk. Whisk well until very smooth.
- Now take one doughnut muffin at a time and gently dip the top in the glaze. Turn your hand as you pull it out of the glaze, and it will stick to the top without running down the sides. Let them sit on a wire rack after dipping into the glaze so the glaze can set.
- Store the muffins in an airtight container in the fridge for up to a week. For longer storage, you can freeze them for up to a month. Place on a baking sheet, freeze for 1 hour then place in a large zip top freezer bag. Thaw them at room temperature before serving for best texture.

- Take these mini donuts and turn them into vanilla cake donuts! Add in a teaspoon of vanilla into the batter along with the inside of a vanilla bean scraped. Pipe the batter into a donut pan and bake as directed.
- When fall comes and you want to enjoy some of the apple recipes like fresh apple cider donuts, don't give in! An easy way to replicate the flavor is to add in 1/2 teaspoon of apple pie spice instead of just cinnamon. Dip each donut muffin in melted butter then shake in a bag of cinnamon sugar or roll in the mixture in a medium bowl. Use 1 measuring cup sugar or any sugar free granulated sweetener you have. I would use monk fruit, then 1 teaspoon of cinnamon or apple pie spice.
- If pumpkin pie spice is more your favorite, just substitute the cinnamon and nutmeg listed in the original recipe with the same amounts of pumpkin spice. You also may consider using keto brown sugar in the muffin batter too.
- Add a few berries in each well to create a great fruit donut muffin. Make sure to add in 1/2 teaspoon of lemon juice to the batter to help it rise better with the fruit.
- Make these into donuts with a doughnut pan and this recipe. Keep watch on the batter as it may require a bit more time.
