Instructions

- In a smoothie blender, combine the eggs, cottage cheese, milk, melted butter, vanilla, and apple cider mix.
- Stir wet into dry just until combined.
- Let the batter sit 5 minutes so the almond flour hydrates.
- Transfer batter to a zip-top or piping bag and pipe into the donut cavities, about ¾ full.
- Bake 14–17 minutes, until the tops spring back lightly.

Notes
- Grease the donut pan well, even if it is nonstick.
- Don't skip the 5 minute rest. The almond flour needs that time to hydrate.
- Fill the cavities only about ¾ full.
- Glaze the donuts while they are still slightly warm.
