GETTING KETO IN THE KITCHEN:
3 Keto Donut Recipes to try on National Donut Day!
Each year on the first Friday in June, people participate in National Doughnut or Donut Day. This day celebrates the doughnut and honors the Salvation Army Lassies, the women that served doughnuts to soldiers during WWI.
In 1917, the original “Salvation Army Doughnut” was first served by the ladies of the Salvation Army. It was during WWI that the Salvation Army Lassies went to the front lines of Europe. Home cooked foods, provided by these brave volunteers were a morale boost to the troops.
The doughnuts were often cooked in oil inside the metal helmets of American soldiers. American infantrymen were then commonly called “doughboys.” A more standard spelling is donut.
Today, enjoy donuts the KETO WAY! We've gathered 3 mouthwatering recipes to try.

Hey Keto Mama: Strawberry Donuts
INGREDIENTS
For the Donuts
• 2 Cups Blanched Finely Ground Almond Flour
• 2 Tablespoons Unflavored Protein Powder
• 2 Teaspoons Baking Powder
• 1 0.3oz Packet Sugar-Free Strawberry Jell-O Powder
• 1/2 Cup Butter
• 2 Ounces Cream Cheese
• 1/4 Cup Sour Cream
• 1 1/2 Teaspoons Vanilla Extract
• 1/2 Cup Erythritol
• 10 Strawberries
• 2 Teaspoons Lemon Juice
• 2 Teaspoons Water
• 2 Egg Whites
For the Glaze
• 4 Strawberries
• 2 Tablespoons Heavy Whipping Cream
• 2 Tablespoons Powdered Erythritol
• 2 Teaspoons Water
DIRECTIONS
For the Donuts
1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Butter or (or non stick spray) your donut pan and set aside.
2. In a large mixing bowl, combine almond flour, protein powder, baking powder and sugar free strawberry Jello-O powder. Set aside.
3. In a separate bowl, add butter and cream cheese. Microwave for 30 seconds to melt, being careful to not burn the cream cheese. Stir well.
4. Add sour cream, vanilla extract, and erythritol to the butter and cream cheese mixture. Stir well.
5. In a blender, Puree strawberries, lemon juice, and water together until no lumps remain.
6. Add wet ingredients to dry ingredients and stir until very well combined. Then stir in the strawberry puree. Once combined, stir in egg whites until smooth.
7. Scoop batter into a freezer sized Ziploc bag. Twist the end of the bag to remove air then cut off a lower corner, and pipe the batter into a buttered donut pan. You will need 12 donut molds total, so either two 6-donut pans or work in batches.
8. Bake for 12 minutes or until a toothpick comes out of the donuts clean.
9. Cool completely before removing from donut pan. Otherwise the donuts will crumble
For the Glaze
1. Put the strawberries, heavy whipping cream and water into the blender then puree. Pour into a small bowl and whisk in erythritol.
2. Remove from blender and brush evenly across donuts. This glaze is more for extra flavor and moisture so it's a little runny.
