10 Minute Cinnamon Donut Holes

These 10 Minute Cinnamon Donut Holes are quick to make using a cake pop machine to cook the batter into small, fluffy spheres. The batter is a soft, slightly runny dough flavored with vanilla and lemon extracts, then coated in cinnamon sugar while hot to create a sweet, spiced crust. They offer a tender and lightly sweet treat ideal for a fast homemade snack or dessert.

Description

This recipe mixes sugar and softened butter thoroughly before adding eggs, vanilla, lemon extracts, and milk to create a smooth batter. Flour and baking soda are folded in gently to keep the batter light and pancake-like. If the batter is too thick, water is added gradually to reach the right consistency. The batter is then squeezed into a preheated, greased cake pop machine, cooking donut holes for about five minutes until set and lightly golden.

Immediately after cooking, the hot donut holes are tossed in a cinnamon and sugar mixture to coat them evenly. Their exterior has a sweet-spiced crust from the cinnamon sugar, while the inside remains soft and tender. These bite-sized treats are best enjoyed fresh and warm.
