You will also need a doughnut pan. If you don’t have one, fear not! These can be made as cupcakes too, so a muffin pan will work.

2. In a mixing bowl, combine whey, pudding mix, coconut flour, cocoa powder, egg, baking powder, vinegar, and stevia to taste.
3. Add red food coloring. You will want to achieve a deep red color.
4. Add water slowly until you get a cupcake batter consistency.
5. Spray doughnut pan with pam and fill 6 doughnut holes about 3/4 full.
6. Bake for 10 minutes. Continue baking and checking on it every few minutes until a you can stick a toothpick in it and it comes out clean.

8. Add red sprinkles, red velvet crumbs, or any other aesthetic finishing touches. Enjoy!
