Ingredients
For the Donut Holes:
-
1 cup all-purpose flour
-
1/3 cup granulated sugar
-
1 teaspoon baking powder
-
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
-
1/4 teaspoon salt
-
1/2 cup milk (any kind)
-
1 large egg
-
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
-
2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
For the Cinnamon Sugar Coating:
-
1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted
-
1/2 cup granulated sugar
-
1 tablespoon ground cinnamon
Instructions
-
Preheat & Prep:
Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a mini muffin tin with butter or nonstick spray. -
Mix Dry Ingredients:
In a bowl, whisk together flour, sugar, baking powder, cinnamon, and salt. -
Mix Wet Ingredients:
In another bowl, whisk milk, egg, vanilla, and melted butter (slightly cooled). -
Combine:
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients. Stir gently until just combined — a few small lumps are fine. Don’t overmix! -
Fill & Bake:
Spoon the batter into the mini muffin cups, filling each about ¾ full.
Bake 8–10 minutes, or until the tops spring back when touched and a toothpick comes out clean. -
Coat in Cinnamon Sugar:
While still warm, dip each donut hole in melted butter, then roll in the cinnamon sugar mixture until evenly coated.
Notes
-
Don’t overmix the batter — it makes the texture tough.
-
For extra flavor, add a pinch of nutmeg to the batter.
-
No mini muffin tin? Use a regular one and bake 2–3 minutes longer.
