How to Make Gluten Free Donut Holes

Ingredients:

1/2 cup sugar
2 tsp baking powder

1/2 cup milk (or dairy-free alternative)
1/4 cup vegetable oil
1 tsp vanilla extract
1 large egg

Directions:

Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a muffin tin.
In a mixing bowl, whisk together the gluten free flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt.
In another bowl, mix the milk, vegetable oil, vanilla extract, and egg until well combined.
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined.
Fill each muffin cup about 2/3 full with the batter.
Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
Let the donut holes cool for a few minutes before removing from the tin.
Optionally, roll in cinnamon sugar or drizzle with glaze before serving.

Tips to Make Gluten Free Donut Holes

If you want to make the donut holes even sweeter, consider adding chocolate chips or nuts to the batter.

To get more flavor, add a pinch of nutmeg or a dash of almond extract to the batter.

Variation

You can change up these donut holes by adding different flavors or mix-ins, such as lemon zest for a citrus twist or cocoa powder for chocolate-flavored donut holes.
