INGREDIENTS

For donut holes

• 1 cup water
• 2 tbsp. butter (for vegan option use vegan butter)
• 1 cup almond flour
• ¾ cup coconut flour
• ½ tsp. stevia extract powder
• 1 tsp. baking powder
• 1 large egg (for vegan option use egg replacer such as flaxegg)

caramel topping

• ¼ cup natural almond butter made with the NutraMilk
• 3 tbsp. butter softened (for vegan option use vegan butter or coconut oil)
• 3 tbsp. powdered sweetener (keto approved)
• 2 tsp. cinnamon (to taste)
• 1-2 tbsp. almond milk (to thin, if necessary

For almond butter

INSTRUCTIONS

• Start by making almond butter
  • Place almond and salt in the NutraMilk container.
  • Press Butter cycle, set for 12-13 minutes.
  • Press Start.
  • Open the container lid.
  • If necessary, set for an additional 1-2 minutes for a creamier butter.
  • Set aside ¼ cup and store the rest for later use.

• Preheat the oven to 375F, line a baking sheet with parchment paper, leave aside.

• Place them on the previously prepared baking sheet and bake for 15 minutes or until these are golden.
• Remove from the oven and let them cool off for 5 minutes, meanwhile prepare the caramel topping.
