How to Make Keto Apple Cider Donut Bites

Step 1: Preheat the Oven

Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
Grease a mini muffin tin or use silicone liners.

Pour the wet mixture into the dry and stir until well combined.

Step 4: Bake the Bites

Scoop the batter into the mini muffin cups, filling each about ¾ full.
Bake for 12–15 minutes, or until golden and a toothpick comes out clean.
Let cool for 5 minutes before removing from the tin.

In a small bowl, mix erythritol and cinnamon.
Brush each donut bite lightly with melted butter, then roll in the cinnamon “sugar” mixture.
