Low Carb Cinnamon Donut Bites Second

We love the simplicity of this donut recipe. You start by mixing all the ingredients up in a bowl and then roll them up into small balls. The donuts can then be baked for 6-minutes before taking them out of the oven and left to cool down. Once they’ve cooled down a little, the cooked balls of dough can be dipped in melted butter and then rolled in a sweet mixture of ground cinnamon and erythritol.

Once the donuts are ready, you can serve them up by themselves or with some fruit slices on the side. They’re great for dessert as they can be whipped up beforehand and baked for a few minutes when you’re ready. We also love them as a sweet snack to get you through to your next meal. Next time you want to whip up a sweet treat or a simple, yet delicious dessert, give this recipe a go.
