Hello everyone! Hope all is well. For today’s recipe, I thought I should share a super simple snack/treat I’ve been loving recently. These baked mini donut holes are super simple to make, and made in a mini muffin tin! They are so soft and fluffy on the inside, and deliciously sweet and cinnamon-y on the outside. This recipe also requires minimal effort and it’s perfect any time of year (although I like to make them especially during December because they’re great with a cup of hot cocoa, just saying)! Hope you get to try this one, enjoy!

MINI MUFFIN DONUT HOLES VIDEO TUTORIAL:

Cinnamon Sugar Donut Holes:

(Makes 6-10 donut holes)

Ingredients: 
For the donut holes:

• 1/2 cup (60g) all purpose flour 
• 1/4 cup (50g) granulated sugar 
• 1/2 tsp baking powder 
• A pinch of salt 

• 2 tbs. (30ml) neutral oil 
• 1/4 cup (60ml) milk 
• 1/4 tsp vanilla extract 

For the cinnamon sugar coating: 

• 2 tbs. (30ml) melted butter 
• 1/4 cup (50g) granulated sugar 
• 1 tsp. cinnamon 

1. Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
2. Lightly oil a mini muffin tin (you won’t have to oil all of the crevasses, just about 6-10 of them).
3. In a medium sized bowl, mix the dry ingredients.
4. Add the wet ingredients and mix together until the batter is fully combined. 
5. Add the batter into the mini muffin tins.
6. Bake for 10-15 minutes or until golden brown along the sides and puffed at the top.
7. Let the donut holes cool; meanwhile melt the butter, and in a small bowl mix together the cinnamon and sugar. 
8. Once the donut holes are cool enough to handle, roll them in butter and then dip them in the cinnamon sugar. 
9. Repeat with the rest of the holes.
10. Enjoy!

NOTES:

• This recipe makes a small batch of donut holes which can be doubled or tripled depending on however many you want.

MAKE IT VEGAN:

• For the milk, use plant milk such as almond 
• For the butter, use vegan butter (Earth Balance is my favorite vegan butter brand)
