WakeShake Low Carb Cinnamon Doughnut Holes

I hesitate to call these doughnut holes since they are baked instead of fried, but that doesn’t change the fact that they are super tasty and easy to make!

Ingredients

Doughnut Holes

  • 1 scoop WakeShake, cinnamon bun flavor
  • 1/4 cup almond flour
  • 1/4 cup coconut flour + additional for kneading
  • 2 tablespoons granulated erythritol or other sweetener
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1 dash nutmeg (optional)
  • 1 dash salt
  • 2 tablespoons heavy cream
  • 2 tablespoons unsweetened almond milk
  • 3 tablespoons (~42g) butter, cold

Cinnamon "Sugar" Coating

  • 3 tablespoons granulated erythritol or other sweetener
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 2 tablespoons butter, melted

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 375F. Prepare a baking dish by lightly greasing with coconut oil or butter and set aside.
  2. Combine sweetener and cinnamon for the coating in a shallow bowl and set aside.
  3. Sift together dry ingredients for doughnut holes. Using a fork or pastry cutter, cut in cold butter until mixture looks like small "crumbs" and then chill in freezer for ~5 minutes.
  4. Add liquid ingredients and stir gently to combine.
  5. Turn dough onto a surface lightly dusted with ~1T coconut flour and knead gently until no longer sticky to the touch.
  6. Divide dough into 10-12 equal sections (I use a cookie scoop for consistent sizing), and roll them into balls.
  7. Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until surface is browned and crisp to the touch.
  8. Dip each ball in melted butter to coat and then roll in the cinnamon/sweetener mixture. Place them in your prepared baking dish about 1" apart.
  9. Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the outsides are browned and crisp to the touch. Allow to cool 1-2 minutes before serving. Best enjoyed warm.
