Low-carb donuts recipe & content provided by Rosie Tran, Kale In The Clouds
These lemony low-carb donuts are perfect way to kickstart your day. With a tart and spicy flair, lemon and ginger is one of my favorite flavor combinations. The flavors in these low-carb donuts are subtle, but can still make out the taste of both key ingredients.

These low-carb donuts taste like lemon ginger tea and use keto-friendly ingredients like almond and coconut flours, a sugar-free sweetener, and eggs. A ginger-infused coconut butter glaze is (literally) the icing on the cake.
Pair these low-carb donuts with a cup of coffee and oat-free oatmeal for a warm way to start your morning.
