Recipe type: Breakfast
Serves: 2 dozen
Ingredients
  • ⅓ cup unsalted butter, at room temperature (or substitute with coconut oil)
  • ½ cup sugar (or corresponding measurement for sugar substitute)
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 tsp. pure vanilla extract
  • ½ cup Unsweetened Vanilla Almond Milk (or substitute with preferred variety: soy milk, rice milk, cow’s milk etc.)
  • 1 cup whole wheat white flour & ½ cup whole wheat flour (or alternatively 1 ½ cups all purpose flour if preferred)
  • 1 ½ tsp. baking powder
  • ½ tsp. cinnamon
  • ½ tsp. salt
  • 3-4 tbsp. unsalted butter, melted
  • ½- ¾ cup powdered sugar
Instructions
  1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.
  2. Prep a mini muffin pan with Baker’s joy or nonstick cooking spray.
  3. In a large bowl cream together butter and sugar for 2-3 minutes.
  4. Add egg, vanilla extract and milk and continue mixing until well incorporated.
  5. In a separate bowl whisk together flour, baking powder, cinnamon and salt.
  6. Add dry ingredients to wet and mix by hand until just incorporated---DO NOT OVERMIX! Whole wheat flour can absorb moisture quickly and if mixed too much will leave the donut holes dry and crumbly.
  7. Using a tablespoon-sized scoop, fill the prepared muffin tin. If any empty cups remain fill them half way with water to ensure even baking.
  8. Bake for 10-12 minutes. Watch closely and remove when the edges begin to lightly brown and centers are set. DO NOT OVERBAKE.
  9. Let cool in pan for 5 minutes.
  10. Once cooled slightly, carefully remove one at a time, submerge in melted butter and roll generously in powdered sugar.
  11. Serve & enjoy!
Notes
Season powdered sugar with cinnamon or nutmeg if desired before rolling them in sugar!
Blend powdered sugar and milk to form a glaze and skip dipping them in melted butter.
Add 2-3 tablespoons of pumpkin puree for a hint of pumpkin and to make them extra soft & moist!
Add 2-3 tablespoons of cocoa powder for chocolate flavored donut holes.
