Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/2 cup milk
  • 1/4 cup melted unsalted butter
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • For the Topping:
  • 1/4 cup melted unsalted butter
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a mini muffin tin or line it with mini paper liners.
  2. In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, 1/2 cup sugar, baking powder, salt, and 1/4 teaspoon cinnamon.
  3. In a separate small bowl, whisk together the milk, 1/4 cup melted butter, egg, and vanilla extract.
  4. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. Do not overmix.
  5. Spoon the batter into the prepared mini muffin cups, filling each about two-thirds full.
  6. Bake for 8-10 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  7. While the donut holes are baking, prepare the topping. In a shallow bowl, combine the 1/2 cup sugar and 1 teaspoon cinnamon. Melt the 1/4 cup butter in another shallow bowl.
  8. Once the donut holes are baked, let them cool in the tin for a minute before transferring them to a wire rack to cool slightly.
  9. Dip each warm donut hole first into the melted butter, then roll it in the cinnamon-sugar mixture until fully coated.
  10. Serve warm and enjoy!

Notes

  • For a richer flavor, you can use buttermilk instead of regular milk.
  • Add a pinch of nutmeg to the batter for extra spice.
  • These donut holes are best enjoyed fresh.
