Keto Pumpkin Donuts with Maple Cream Cheese Frosting

A Keto-friendly pumpkin donut with a maple cream cheese frosting that is so creamy and amazing it will be hard to only have one.

This deliciously satisfying pumpkin donuts with maple cream cheese frosting would make you think that it is terrible for you. In reality, though, there is no sugar as Stevia was used in the process.

Making a good donut and sugar-free frosting takes a little imagination, a whole lot of experimentation, and acceptance of the fact that comparing them to a sugary, traditional treat is often unfair.

However, after not having sugar for a bit, you will taste the difference in how food once tasted when you ate sugar vs. when you didn’t. For instance, I stopped using creamer in my coffee, and no sweets I noticed a difference in what I thought tasted good compared to what I thought tasted good previously.

What type of sugar is used in these donuts?

I used Stevia in the icing and the donuts. It is much sweeter than the traditional, so you want to start with half a teaspoon and slowly add more till you get the taste you desire.

What are the benefits of pumpkin?

I never knew how much nutritional benefits pumpkin has, and it is truly amazing. Here are a few of the top benefits:

1. Highly Nutritious and Particularly Rich in Vitamin A

4. Nutrient Density and Low-Calorie Count Which May Promote Weight Loss
5. Potassium, Vitamin C and Fiber May Benefit Heart Health
6. Contains Compounds That Promote Healthy Skin

Are these pumpkin donuts Keto-friendly?

Yes, as Stevia and Almond flour was used to make these moist and delicious donuts.
