FAQ
Can I use regular sugar instead of allulose?
Yes, but it won't be keto-friendly. Use the same amount of granulated sugar for similar sweetness.
How long do these donuts keep?
Store covered at room temperature for 2 days or refrigerate for up to 5 days. Frosting may firm up when cold.
Can I freeze these donuts?
Yes, freeze unfrosted donuts for up to 3 months. Thaw completely and add fresh frosting before serving.
