Is there anyone who doesn’t crave donuts from time to time? They are incredibly sweet and delicious, and can be topped with any flavor your heart desires.
They are the greatest attraction for kids because they see them most of the time in cartoons or grocery stores. Now, it’s your turn to make them some low-carb healthy donuts. With great pleasure, we’ll help!
For this recipe, we don’t actually make donuts but something similar. The transformation into bite-size pieces ensures that you don’t have to worry about the shape. Adjust the size however you like, but keep this in mind – the smaller they are, the easier it is going to be to eat them all.
These small, unguilty pleasures have been proven to satisfy every sweet tooth. Our sweet tooth needs high-quality treats that blow the mind. We solved it easily with these Low-carb Donut Holes.
Cinnamon is absolutely the winning ingredient of the recipe and deserves to be mentioned. It always reminds us of cozy nights full of joy and happiness.
Cinnamon is also full of inflammation-fighting antioxidants that keep the body healthy. Research shows that cinnamon also has antidiabetic, antimicrobial, lipid-lowering, anticancer, and cardioprotective properties.
Additionally, cinnamon can help protect the brain against neurological disorders, such as Alzherim’s and Parkinson’s disease (*).
Be careful when picking out sugar-free maple syrup as many brands contain artificial sweeteners, such as aspartame, which have been linked to digestive disorders and even cancer (*).
Keto-approved sweeteners, such as monk fruit extract, erythritol, and stevia, tend to be easier to digest. They also have antioxidant properties as they come from plants, which can help reduce inflammation and promote health.
Prepare these almond and coconut flour donut holes and treat yourself by enjoying them with a cup of coffee in the morning.
