Ingredients
- Almond flour. Use fine ground almond flour to help bind the cookie dough. Almond flour can be eaten raw.
- Almond butter. Use a runny brand, with only almond for ingredients. You can of course use any nut butter. I use almond for its mild flavor so the cookie dough can taste like cookie dough.
- Maple syrup. Or use your favorite liquid sweetener.

- Vanilla, baking soda & salt. For flavor.

Steps to Make Cookie Dough Donuts

Recipe Tips
Use any nut butter. Almond butter and cashew butter will have the mildest flavor. You can use peanut butter but it will make your donuts taste mostly like peanuts.
Use fine almond flour or meal - meal is made from almonds with skins on so have more fiber.
Your dough moisture will be influenced by how wet your nut butter is. If it mixes too wet, add a few tablespoons of flour. If it mixes too dry, add a few tablespoons of milk.
Variations
These no bake cookie dough donuts are easy to customize.
- Glaze with white chocolate or even melted almond butter drizzle.
- Sprinkle with sprinkles, candy, dried fruit or nuts.
