• ¾ teaspoon kosher salt
• ¼ teaspoon ground nutmeg
• 1 cup whole milk

Directions for making Carrot Cake Donut Holes with Cream Cheese Dip

1. Whisk flour, brown sugar, baking powder, 1 teaspoon cinnamon, baking soda, and 3/4 teaspoon kosher salt together in a large bowl.
2. 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.
