While almond flour is the best option for a low-carb diet, you could try coconut flour. However, adjust the quantity, as coconut flour is more absorbent.

Do these donut holes freeze well?
Absolutely! Just make sure to cool them completely before freezing. Place them in a freezer-safe container or bag. When you want to eat them, defrost and reheat slightly.
