Donut Holes (Grain Free, Dairy Free)

These cute little donut holes are made using a mini muffin tin, to create the bite sized round-is shape of a donut hole. They use the same recipe as my Classic Cinnamon and Sugar Donuts, but they are even easier to make and the perfect bite sized shape!

If you can’t choose a favorite topping, this recipe was made for you! We have powdered sugar, coconut butter glaze, and cinnamon sugar.

Tips for Best Results:

• Use a silicone mini muffin pan, as grain free flours can sometimes be sticky
• Roll your donut holes in coconut oil before coating them in the cinnamon sugar, otherwise they will not stick

1x2x3x

Donuts

• 1 cup almond flour
• 1/4 cup coconut flour
• 1/3 cup tapioca starch
• 1.5 tsp baking powder
• 1/3 cup plain dairy-free yogurt or full fat coconut milk
• 3 tbsp refined coconut oil
• 1 tsp lemon juice or apple cider vinegar
• 1/4 cup maple syrup
• 1/3 cup coconut or maple sugar, to taste
• 2 large eggs, beaten

Cinnamon & Sugar Topping

• 2 tbsp melted Nutiva refined coconut oil
• 1/3 cup coconut or maple sugar
• 1 tsp cinnamon

Powdered Sugar Topping

• 1/4 cup paleo powdered sugar or monk fruit powdered sugar

Glaze

• 3 tbsp coconut butter
• 4 tbsp coconut milk
• 3 tbsp maple syrup, to taste

Instructions

 

Donuts

• Preheat oven to 375º. Generously oil a nonstick mini muffin pan—silicone works best. Mix the plain yogurt or coconut milk with lemon juice, and let sit for several minutes. Mix this in with eggs, syrup, and sugar.
• In a separate bowl, mix all dry ingredients. Combine wet and dry ingredients until just combined.
• Spoon in batter to each muffin mold, about ⅔ of the way full. Bake for 13-15 minutes, or until golden brown. Let cool while you make the toppings.

Toppings

• Dip each muffin in the toppings of your choice. If using the cinnamon and sugar, dip first in the melted coconut oil (or use a pastry brush to coat them). Alternatively, you can spray with pan spray avocado or coconut oil.

  For powdered sugar, simply roll each donut in the powdered sugar.

  For glaze, use a spoon to help you dip each donut hole into the glaze. Spoon additional glaze around the sides and top.
