- Donut Holes:
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup brown sugar
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1 1/2 teaspoons ground cinnamon, divided
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 3/4 teaspoon kosher salt
- 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
- 1 cup whole milk
- 1/2 cup drained crushed pineapple
- 1 egg
- 1/4 cup butter, melted
- 1 cup grated carrots, packed
- 1/2 cup sweetened flaked coconut
- vegetable oil for cooking
- 1/3 cup white sugar
- Cream Cheese Dip:
- 1/2 cup cream cheese, softened
- 1 tablespoon butter, softened
- 1 cup confectioners' sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 pinch salt
- Whisk flour, brown sugar, baking powder, 1 teaspoon cinnamon, baking soda, and 3/4 teaspoon kosher salt together in a large bowl.
- Combine milk, crushed pineapple, and egg in a small bowl. Stir into the flour mixture. Add melted butter; mix until a soft dough forms. Fold in carrots and coconut.
- Heat at least 2 inches of oil in a large pot to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Line a wire rack or baking sheet with paper towels.
- Scoop a few tablespoons of dough into the hot oil using a small ice cream scoop. Fry donut holes until golden brown, about 1 minute per side. Transfer donut holes to the paper towels using a slotted spoon; let drain and cool slightly. Repeat with remaining dough.
- Whisk white sugar and remaining 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon in a shallow bowl. Roll donut holes in sugar mixture.
- Beat cream cheese and 1 tablespoon butter together in a bowl until smooth. Beat in confectioners' sugar until dip is well-blended and fluffy. Stir in vanilla extract and 1 pinch salt. Serve donut holes with cream cheese dip.
