These bite-sized delights are perfect for breakfast, dessert, or any time you need a little pick-me-up. With a crunchy exterior and a soft, fluffy interior, they're sure to satisfy your sweet tooth.
To make these delicious donut holes, you'll need just a few simple ingredients:
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/4 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/4 cup milk
- 1/4 cup plain Greek yogurt
- 1 egg
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted and cooled
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted
To make the donut holes, start by preheating your oven to 350°F (180°C) and greasing a mini muffin tin with cooking spray.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and cinnamon until well combined. In a separate bowl, whisk together the milk, Greek yogurt, egg, vanilla extract, and melted butter. Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and stir until just combined.
Using a small scoop or spoon, fill each muffin cup about 2/3 full with the batter. Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a donut hole comes out clean.
While the donut holes are baking, whisk together the remaining granulated sugar and ground cinnamon in a shallow bowl. In a separate shallow bowl, melt the remaining butter. Once the donut holes are done baking, remove them from the oven and let them cool for a few minutes.
Dip each donut hole in the melted butter, then roll it in the cinnamon sugar mixture until fully coated. Place the coated donut holes on a wire rack to cool completely.
These cinnamon sugar donut holes are best served warm, but can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days. To reheat, simply pop them in the microwave for a few seconds or in a 350°F (180°C) oven for 5-10 minutes.
