Sure, Dave! I’ll compare several keto donut recipes using cottage cheese and incorporate feedback from comments to create the best possible solution. Let’s get started:
Base Ingredients
Cottage Cheese: 1 cup (blended smooth)
Almond Flour: 1 1/2 cups
Coconut Flour: 1/4 cup
Baking Powder: 2 tsp
Erythritol: 1/2 cup (or preferred sweetener)
Eggs: 4 large
Vanilla Extract: 2 tsp
Butter: 1/4 cup (melted)
Salt: 1/4 tsp
Cinnamon: 1/2 tsp (optional for added flavor)
Nutmeg: 1/4 tsp (optional)
Method
Prepare the Cottage Cheese:
Blend the cottage cheese until it is completely smooth and creamy.
Dry Ingredients:
In a large bowl, combine the almond flour, coconut flour, baking powder, erythritol, salt, cinnamon, and nutmeg. Mix well.
Wet Ingredients:
In another bowl, beat the eggs until fluffy. Add the melted butter, vanilla extract, and blended cottage cheese. Mix until well combined.
Combine Ingredients:
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, stirring until a thick batter forms. Ensure there are no lumps.
Prepare Donut Pan:
Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a donut pan with cooking spray or butter.
Fill the Donut Pan:
Spoon the batter into a piping bag or a ziplock bag with a corner cut off. Pipe the batter into the donut pan, filling each cavity about 3/4 full.
Bake:
Bake in the preheated oven for 15-18 minutes, or until the donuts are golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Cool:
Allow the donuts to cool in the pan for 5 minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Glaze Options
Classic Vanilla Glaze:
Mix 1/2 cup powdered erythritol with 2-3 tbsp heavy cream and 1 tsp vanilla extract until smooth.
Chocolate Glaze:
Mix 1/2 cup powdered erythritol with 2 tbsp unsweetened cocoa powder, 2-3 tbsp heavy cream, and 1 tsp vanilla extract until smooth.
Cinnamon Sugar Topping:
Mix 1/4 cup erythritol with 1 tsp cinnamon. Brush the donuts with melted butter and dip them into the cinnamon sugar mixture.
Feedback Incorporation
Texture: Many comments highlighted the importance of a smooth cottage cheese blend to avoid a lumpy texture in the donuts.
Sweetness Level: Some users found the original recipes too sweet or not sweet enough. Adjust erythritol to taste, starting with 1/2 cup and adjusting as needed.
Moisture: A few recipes were reported to be too dry. The addition of melted butter helps keep the donuts moist.
Spices: Adding cinnamon and nutmeg was suggested to enhance the flavor, making them more donut-like.
Glaze Variety: Offering multiple glaze options was a common suggestion to cater to different preferences.
Tips
Piping: Piping the batter into the donut pan helps achieve an even shape and size.
Storage: Store the donuts in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days, or freeze for longer storage.
This recipe should give you a delicious, moist, and perfectly sweetened keto donut with the added benefit of cottage cheese for extra protein. Enjoy!

Dave: it's batter not dough!!! Like cake batter or brownie batter….looks great!
Newbie question here: why use cream instead of butter for the glaze?
Heavy cream has the carb? It is full fat and carb free unless you buy one with carb… fillers.
Aldi sells a powdered sweetener that is just like powdered Splenda but half the price..
A big bag is about 4.50 and tastes great..no aftertaste!!

Omg the genuineness of your commentary as you’re going through the recipe is so relatable. +1 sub!!!
Thank you for this recipe. These were soo delicious!!
This looks like the best keto dupe ever ❤ most of my trials have been bad 😂
1:16 That's what she said. 😏 (BTW, "blended" is correct. Sometimes, words just feel wrong, though, so I understand what you were experiencing. 🫶)
I wanted to share a pic of the ones I made, but I don’t know if that is possible.
Nice work! Thank you!!!!Tip: please use better quality salt and eggs.
Organic Pink Himalayan, or better yet, Redmonds.

Old dunking donuts commercial "time to make the donuts" was what the owner used to say every morning in the mirror and on his way out the door
Ugghh. I was hoping for carnivore friendly… I know i know, it's stated in the title. 😅
Annoying….just get to the recipe, you're not funny
I made these and they were decent💜.
Average calories of a chocolate glazed donut is 290. It’s nice to get half the calories from a donut 🤌
Just dip. Nuff said.
I've watched several of your recipes but don't think I've laughed harder than I did in this one 😂 Appreciate you "sacrificing" for us
I'm here for the keto recipes!
I just discovered you Dave. I love your style. You make me feel at home in the kitchen and feel like it’s ok to be a little messy and make mistakes. You show that you don’t have to be a professional to cook but you just have to love it. Thank you Dave and God bless.
Put the plastic bag in a cup and then fill it! 😉 😉
You sir, are proof that anyone can be anything they want to be.
Place your baggie into a coffee cup, pointed side down. Adjust to where it’s hugged up against the cup walls. To start filling, pull down the outer bag so the pointed bottom is up closer to the top and load it up with dough. Easier, less messy option.
I do this for icing and deviled eggs.
Love your videos! Don’t change a thing. Definitely making these with my daughter this weekend.
I love the fact that you do it in real time. If I'm correct, that's your Rachael Ray also started. Mistakes and all. The best part. That's exactly how I am in the kitchen. You make me want to try the recipe.
put baggie over a cup then fill
Donuts you can give your kids and not feel guilty cracking them out on sugar and giving them type 2 diabetes!
