- In a saucepan, heat water over medium-low heat. Add oil, erythritol, and salt, whisking until combined.
- Gradually add the flour mixture to the wet ingredients, stirring constantly until a sticky dough forms. Let it cool slightly.
- Add the eggs and vanilla extract, whisking until you have an elastic dough. Let it rest for 15-20 minutes.
- Roll the dough into 1-inch balls and place them on the baking sheet, leaving space between them.
- Bake at 425°F (220°C) for 15 minutes, then reduce heat to 350°F (180°C) and bake for another 10-15 minutes, or until golden brown.

- Brush the donut holes with melted butter and roll them first in the powdered erythritol, then in the cinnamon sugar mixture.
- Enjoy warm or store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
Tips:
- For a richer flavor, you can use melted coconut oil instead of avocado oil or olive oil.
- If the dough is too sticky, dust your hands and the dough with a little almond flour.
- You can freeze the donut holes for up to 3 months. Flash freeze them individually on a baking sheet for a few hours before transferring them to a freezer-safe container.
