Personal Story (Optional)

These keto donut holes became my weekend ritual when I missed bakery treats after switching to low-carb. The cinnamon-sugar coating brought back memories of state fair donuts, but without the sugar crash. They’re now my go-to whenever I want a cozy, sweet bite with my coffee.
