Notes

  • By using a mini muffin pan, these baked donut holes are done in half the baking time. 
  • You can dip the whole donut into butter, but brushing the tops already does the trick. 
  • Feel free to add some ground cloves, ginger, nutmeg and cardamom to the cinnamon sugar for chai spiced donut holes.
