Powdered Sugar Baked Donut Holes

Powdered Sugar Baked Donut Holes made in a mini muffin tin pan.

If you know me then you know I am a big fan of making all different kinds of baked donuts! My donut pans have gotten a lot of use over the years. I’ve always been a big fan of donut holes too, powdered sugar, cinnamon & sugar covered, glazed, etc. I used to buy them at the store years ago but now I only eat homemade baked donuts. You can make some at home too using a mini muffin pan.

Recipe made 19 donut holes for me, varies depending on what size you make them and the mini muffin pan you use. For the coating I brushed them with melted butter then tossed them in a ziploc bag with powdered sugar to evenly coat them all. I tried rolling the donut holes in a bowl of powdered sugar after brushing but found the ziploc bag method to be faster.

I used a Wilton mini muffin pan that makes up to 24 mini muffins. They also make a cool donut hole pan that makes more rounded donut holes. I really want to get one! To fill the muffin pan I used a small cookie scoop I have, it just helps to make the process faster and to evenly distribute the donut batter, but not necessary.
