Good for you Donut Holes?

Today I made keto donut holes. I can't believe how easy and delicious they were. I would say that the most unusual ingredient that people may not have at home is the psyllium husk.
The dark brown color is no doubt the cinnamon as they are not overcooked or burnt.
The outside is crispy and the inside is the consistency of a cake donut.
There is no sugar and they are high in fiber.
I did not make the frosting for them because they are so good how they are already.
I scooped these with a small scooper but if you roll them in your hands, they look smooth and more like what people are used to when they think of donut holes.
I'm glad I found this recipe

@WriterRuth I do not follow a Keto diet, but I am careful what I eat, I try to eat healthy.

I have been finding keto recipes on youtube and I write down the ones I want to try. I have been learning to use ingredients I have never used before.

@LadyDuck That's great. It seems to be a necessity for me. I also learned about eating one meal a day at the same time each day so that you are always fasting daily about 23 hours. When I do this, I think I can eat more carbs and get away with it. I ate Mexican on Sunday and we are taking our daughter to a Mexican restaurant on Saturday as well. So I can enjoy myself if i fast in between.

I am on keto because it regulates my blood sugar, mood, and helps me sleep, concentrate, feel stronger, lose weight etc.
If I don't eat a lot of fat and fair amount of protein, I tend to go towards wanting carbs like pasta and potatoes and bread and sweets. This has always made me feel very sick in the ways I mentioned above, including aching eye sockets and headaches and blurred vision and insomnia.
I think it might be called "reactive hypoglycemia"
I don't feel well eating any other way but I do cheat at times. Last night I ate some french fries which I really can't do and be healthy.

@JustBhem It has made me feel the best I ever have in my life - as long as I stick to it and get proper rest.

This reminds me of the donut holes in Dunkin Donuts that was the favorite of my daughter.

I used to be addicted to donuts. I worked at a donut shop and ate them all the time for 2 years and never got tired of them, I am glad I have this alternative. My favorite was Winchell's.

@Alexandoy I could probably live off donuts - if they were healthy. Yum

I got a recipe for pumpkin cake (keto) from youtube. I made it twice (cupcakes) and it is amazing. I'm happy to have these recipes which actually taste good as I do enjoy sweets at times.

They are really good. I think part of it is the combination of cinnamon and ginger. I would have thought nutmeg, but these are good.

They don't look delicious but that's awesome that they were so good. So often things look amazing and are awful so I'd rather it tastes better then it looks.
