\"Donut<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

What’s not to love about donut holes?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

They’re sweet, fluffy, bite-sized bits of Heaven<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I mean, maybe let’s forget for a minute that they can be loaded with sugar and are more of a dessert than a breakfast…<\/p>\n\n\n\n

BUT if you make them at home, you can fix that problem a bit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

These gluten-free Baked Donut Holes are sweetened with maple syrup inside, baked (NOT fried!), and coated in powdered sugar for fun.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

So, they’re totally approved for breakfast as far as I’m concerned. My kids go crazy for these fluffy nuggets of goodness.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Powdered sugar might be even better than sprinkles to kids? <\/strong>Who knew! \ud83d\ude09<\/p>\n\n\n\n

There’s a few important things to know, before you start baking. So make sure you keep reading for all my tips and tricks to make the best gluten-free Baked Donut Holes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Bowl<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

First, things first…<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

You’ll need a mini muffin pan.<\/strong> No heating up oil and frying. These Donut Holes are baked to perfection.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It makes them super easy to make. They’re a little more mini muffin shaped than round. But, it’s totally worth it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

These are as easy to make as muffins themselves. The only difference, is you’ll be coating the Donut Holes in powdered sugar afterwards.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Part of the trick to making these so fluffy is using Greek yogurt in the batter. <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

I recommend using a thick, plain Greek yogurt. It’s got less sugar, and then you have more control over the flavors you can add to it. It’s great to use for baking, cooking, and just good ‘ole yogurt eating too. \ud83d\ude42 With Vanilla<\/a> or Chocolate Granola<\/a> on top, of course.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

These Donut Holes are also sweetened inside with maple syrup.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sometimes maple syrup is a little tricky to use when baking, if you’re using it from the fridge and it’s cold then it can re-solidify your melted butter.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I recommend trying to get your milk and Greek yogurt microwaved to room temperature, before adding them to your batter, if your maple syrup is cold already. This should help everything mix together smoothly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Oh, and that powdered sugar topping?<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Be sure to coat the Donut Holes with it just prior to serving.<\/strong> Or, it’ll basically melt into the Donut Holes and it won’t look nearly as nice (or Donut Hole-like) the next day. Still tasty, just not like the pictures.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you have trouble with the powdered sugar sticking, you can brush each donut hole lightly with butter or you can spray them with non-stick spray.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You could also do a glaze on top instead<\/strong>, if you prefer. Dipping your donut holes in a glaze twice will make them picture-perfect too. And, you can add sprinkles on top of that as well. Check out my Baked Chocolate Donut Holes<\/a> for my favorite glaze recipe.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
