These Keto Sugar Free Low Carb Pumpkin Spice Donuts are gluten free, grain free, almond flour free and can be paleo as well. These are perfect for chilly fall mornings!
Keto Pumpkin Donuts
These pumpkin donuts are made grain free, gluten free, sugar free, keto and low carb! A soft, cake-like texture with a delightful depth of flavor coming from the brown sugar replacement I used and am sharing about today called Sukrin Gold.
Sugar Free Brown Sugar Sweetener
If you've been a long time brown sugar lover, this stuff will be your new favorite! You can use it anywhere a recipe typically class for brown sugar. Perfectly mild in sweetness and can be used one for one as a replacement for sugar.
These Sugar Free Low Carb Pumpkin Donuts are perfect naked so of course you don't have to frost these, but what's the fun in that? Get a little messy and make the glaze!
Sugar Free Sweeteners
Since I am a sugar free blogger I get asked often to try sugar free sweeteners on the market. I'm really selective in what I try because my family and I are eating it and they are quite picky, as am I. If you've followed my blog for some time you know my greatest love is towards Sweetleaf stevia. I am also fan of Swerve sweeteners and often combine them both to use them in my recipes. Swerve confectioners sweetener is very fine and that's exactly why I chose it for the glaze on these pumpkin donuts. Since I feel it's my duty to all of you who follow me to give you some other options in case Sweetleaf stevia or even Swerve are not your cup of tea, Sukrin USA is that option I'm sharing today. 
I really loved the caramel like flavor the Sukrin Gold brown sugar replacement provides. My hubby even loved it and for the man I can't seem to get off brown sugar that is saying a lot! The chocolate bars were both delicious! I've not tried the Fiber Clear Syrup as of yet but I plan too and think it would be perfect for making sugar free beverages as it's like a simple syrup.

Can I use almond flour vs coconut flour? If I can’t use all almond what ratio almond and coconut flours. So instead of 1/2 cup coconut flour what if any are my almond flour options
Brenda Bennett
Almond flour is not as dense as coconut. Usually the ratio is 1/4 cup coconut equals 1 cup almond.
Debi J
Could coconut sugar be used for the sweetener?
Brenda Bennett
Yes it could but that will add carbs and change the nutrition info.
Amanda Bedus
I doubled the recipe and baked it in a bunt pan and it came out perfect!! It was delicious.

I have a question about the sugar free recipes. I am not allowed to use any of the sugar free products due to a condition that causes problems from them, so my question is if I can substitute equal amounts of regular sweeteners in place if them and still use the recipes? They look so good and I do have to do gluten and dairy free recipes. I sure wish Ibcould do a dairy free way of doing your dough for the pizzas, etc. but it has so much mozzarella in it. It looks so good and would be great for gluten free. Thanks so much. Your recipes are great. I just need to change the sweeteners.

Really enjoyed making these. Flavor was super yummy. My only issue was getting them out of my donut pan so looks like I will need to get a new one :-). Will definitely make this again!
Dee
Can I use butter instead of olive oil? And can I se almond milk instead of coconut milk?
Brenda
yes those swaps would be fine
