Gluten Free Donut Holes
by: claire cary
These gluten free donut holes are so easy to make, baked instead of fried and perfect for a late night sweet treat. Coat them in powdered sugar, cinnamon sugar or make them glazed!
Equipment
Ingredients
Wet
- ¼ cup unsalted butter melted
- ½ cup white sugar
- 2 tablespoons apple sauce
- ¼ cup milk
- 1 egg
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Dry
- 1 ⅓ cup gluten free all purpose baking flour
- ¾ teaspoon baking powder
- ¼ teaspoon baking soda
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ¼ teaspoon nutmeg
Cinnamon Sugar
- ⅓ cup butter melted
- ⅓ cup white sugar
- 1 tablespoon cinnamon
Powdered
- ½ cup powdered sugar for rolling
Glazed
- 1 ½ 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
You can use dairy or non dairy butter and milk here!
