Instructions

  • Whisk almond flour, coconut flour, sweetener, baking powder, salt, and cinnamon in a large bowl until no lumps remain.
  • In a separate bowl, whisk eggs, melted butter, vanilla, and 2 tablespoons almond milk.
  • Pour wet into dry and stir until a soft dough forms. If it feels stiff or crumbly, add the extra tablespoon of almond milk. The dough should hold together but feel slightly tacky.
  • Lightly oil your hands. Scoop tablespoon portions and roll into balls about 1 to 1 1/4 inches across. Place on a parchment-lined tray.
  • Heat 1 1/2–2 inches of avocado oil in a heavy pot to 325–340°F. Keep the temperature steady for even browning.
  • Fry in batches for 2–3 minutes, turning gently until golden on all sides and cooked through.
  • Transfer to a paper towel–lined rack to drain.
  • Preheat the oven to 350°F. Place the balls on a parchment-lined sheet.
  • Bake for 12–15 minutes, until lightly golden and set in the center. The bottoms will brown first; avoid overbaking.
  • Melt butter in a small saucepan over medium heat. Stir in brown-style sweetener and cook until dissolved and glossy, about 2–3 minutes.
  • Slowly whisk in the heavy cream and a pinch of salt. Simmer gently, stirring, until thickened and coats the back of a spoon, about 4–6 minutes.
  • Remove from heat, stir in vanilla, and let it cool for a few minutes to thicken further.
  • Drizzle the warm caramel over the donut holes or toss them gently in a bowl with the caramel for an even coat.
  • Serve warm for the fluffiest texture, or let them set for a chewier caramel shell.
