For the donuts
- 2 eggs
- 1/4 cup sugar
- 3 tablespoons coconut oil (melted, substitute with any oil or melted butter if needed)
- 1/3 cup milk (use dairy-free milk if needed)
- 1 teaspoon vanilla
- 1 cup flour (see notes for how to make gluten-free)
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/4 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/8 teaspoon sea salt
For coating
- 1/3 cup sugar
- 2 teaspoons cinnamon
To fill
- 1/2 cup Chocolate SunButter
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350 F. In a bowl, beat together the eggs, sugar, melted coconut oil, milk, and vanilla extract.
- Fold in the flour, cinnamon, baking powder, baking soda, and sea salt until no flour clumps remain.
- Grease a mini muffin pan well with oil. Fill each muffin cavity about ⅔ of the way full with the donut batter.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 10 – 12 minutes until they’re golden brown on top.
- While the donuts are baking, mix the sugar and cinnamon together in a shallow pan or bowl. Coat the donuts right after they come out of the oven.
- Let the donuts cool until you’re comfortable touching them with your fingers. Coat them in the cinnamon sugar mixture.
- Use a straw to poke a hole into the center of each donut hole. Fill a piping bag with Chocolate SunButter, squeeze gently into the holes, and enjoy!
Notes
- If you let the donuts cool too much before coating, you can brush each one with melted butter or oil and toss in the cinnamon sugar coating. They will need to set for at least 15 minutes before adding the filling.
- To make these donut holes gluten-free, swap the all-purpose flour with equal parts gluten-free 1:1 flour and add 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar with the wet ingredients (you won’t taste it!).
