butter

🥗Healthier: coconut oil

Coconut oil adds a unique flavor and is dairy-free.

milk

🥗Healthier: almond milk

💰Cheaper: water

Almond milk is lower in calories and adds a nutty flavor.

sugar

🥗Healthier: stevia

💰Cheaper: brown sugar

Stevia reduces calories while maintaining sweetness.

eggs

Flaxseed meal is a vegan alternative that binds well.

Heat oil on low heat to reach 350°F.

In a saucepan, combine 1 cup of water and 3 tablespoons of unsalted butter cut into cubes.

Add 1 tablespoon of sugar and a pinch of salt to the saucepan.

Bring the mixture to a boil over medium-low heat until the butter is melted.

Once boiling, add 3/4 cup of flour and stir until a sticky dough forms, cooking for about 1 minute until it pulls away from the pan.

Remove from heat and spread the dough out to cool for 10 minutes.

Use ice packs around the bottom of the blender to help cool the dough faster if desired.

Once cooled, add 3 eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition.

Prepare a cinnamon sugar mixture by combining 1/2 teaspoon of cinnamon with 1/2 cup of granulated sugar.

Scoop tablespoon-sized portions of dough and carefully drop them into the hot oil.

Fry until golden brown, about 3-4 minutes, turning occasionally for even cooking.

Remove with a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels.

Roll the fried donuts in the cinnamon sugar mixture while still warm.

Fill the donuts with blueberry pie filling and cream cheese as desired.
