Ok so two of my favourite things are donuts and cinnamon rolls… so it’s time I combined the two to make a keto cinnamon roll donut! I gotta say – it was PERFECT. The donuts are fluffy and BIG.
So I based this recipe on my basic keto donut recipe, however I added eggs! However you can omit the eggs and use either water, cream or almond milk instead (1/2 cup/125ml).
If you don’t have a donut pan or mold, use wet hands to form them into a donut shape and bake on parchment paper.

Usually my donuts look pretty nice on the outside, but for some reason, this time it had some holes in the top – not sure why but it didn’t affect the taste and it was so FLUFFY.
Keto Cinnamon Roll Donuts
A cinnamon roll.. but as a donut! These are perfect and so fluffy. Gluten, grain and sugar free. This keto cinnamon roll donut is the best way to start.. or end a day!
Ingredients
DONUTS:
- 1 cup (100g) almond flour
- 1 scoop (30g) whey isolate
- 2 eggs
- 2 tbsp cream cheese - room temp
- 3 tbsp butter - melted
- 1/4 cup (50g) sugar substitute
- 1 tbsp cinnamon
- 1 tsp xanthan gum
- 1/2 tsp baking powder
ICING:
- 3 tbsp cream cheese
- 1/4 cup (50g) sugar substitute
- 1 tsp vanilla
- 3-4 tsp heavy cream
Instructions
- In a mixing bowl, whisk together the dry ingredients for the donuts.
- Crack in the eggs and spoon in the cream cheese, melted butter and vanilla.
- Stir until you have a thick batter.
- Spoon the batter into the donut mold. If it is a metal pan, make sure to grease it. You should be able to get 5 donuts from this recipe.
- Using wet hands, smooth down the top of the batter.
- Bake at 350°F / 175°C for 15-17 minutes.
- While the donuts are baking, mix together the cream cheese, sugar substitute and vanilla for the icing.
- Add in a tsp at a time and stir until the icing has thinned a bit. It should still stick to the back of the spoon.
- Once the donuts are done, let them cool before icing.
- Enjoy!
Notes
This makes roughly 5 donuts.

This recipe must be missing something? Cinnamon? How much should be in the batter?
Haha you are right! 1 tbsp!
I know this post is a couple years old, but I’m hoping you still get notifications for questions🤞🏼Do you have any substitutions for the whey isolate? I have the HARDEST time finding it! Thanks!
I think the best alterantive is either egg protein or collagen protein powder (unflavoured)
