Delicious cinnamon sugar donut holes that are soft, fluffy, and perfect for any occasion!
Ingredients
Scale
- 1/4 cup unsalted butter (melted)
- 1/2 cup white sugar
- 2 tablespoons apple sauce
- 1/4 cup milk
- 1 egg
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 1/3 cup gluten free all purpose baking flour
- 3/4 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/4 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon nutmeg
- 1/3 cup butter (melted)
- 1/3 cup white sugar
- 1 tablespoon cinnamon
- 1/2 cup powdered sugar (for rolling)
- 1 1/2 cups powdered sugar
- 1 tablespoon milk
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit.
- Grease two 12 cavity donut hole pans (or mini muffin pans) and set aside.
- In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the melted butter and sugar until well combined.
- Whisk in the remaining wet ingredients until smooth.
- Add in the dry ingredients, making sure to spoon and level the flour to measure, don’t scoop from the bag. Whisk until well combined, then let the batter rest for 5-10 minutes.
- Scoop into the prepared pans, making sure to only fill about 2/3 of the way up, they will puff up a lot while baking!
- Bake for 9-11 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean. Let cool in the pan for about 15 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack.
- If making the cinnamon sugar option, set up two bowls – one with the melted butter and one with the cinnamon sugar. Dip each donut hole in the butter, then coat in the cinnamon sugar. If doing the powdered sugar, just dip directly in there.
- For the glaze option, whisk the powdered sugar and milk, then dip the donut hole and place on a wire rack to set. Enjoy!
Notes
- Donut holes can be stored in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
- Feel free to mix and match toppings based on personal preference.
