These lemon donut holes are taking the cake at being my favorite keto dessert! These donut holes are simple to make and taste oh so delicious for a sweet treat! I love that they are portable so I am able to grab a few as I run out the door!
The secret to this recipe is how to get these donuts to taste so lemony! You might be thinking the zest of the lemon or the juice of the lemon! In other cases, you would be right. Not this one, though. The whole lemon is blended up with the other tasty ingredients, yes the rind and all. The donut holes are then baked to perfection and dipped in a lemon glaze for a flavor blasted breakfast!

The Execution
1. Measure out and prepare all the ingredients. Preheat oven to 350F.
2. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
3. Cut the lemon into small wedges and remove the seeds.
4. Place the lemon wedges, avocado oil, water, and vanilla extract into a blender. Blend on medium until smooth, then remove any small pieces that will not blend.
5. Add the almond flour, stevia/erythritol blend, and salt. Continue to blend until thickened and dough forms.
