Glazed Donut Holes

Donut holes are so underrated. They’re the perfect bite-sized treat, melt in your mouth, and are just so fun.

Shout out to grandma-healthy-eats as she gifted me with a cake-pop maker for Christmas. (How sweet, I know). Well, to my surprise, there is SO MUCH MORE you can make in a cake-pop maker than just cake pops! I’ve been having a little too much fun, getting creative with it. But of course, first things first, some donut holes were definitely going down.

If you don’t have a cake-pop maker, no worries! You can totally bake these in the oven or air fryer!

I actually made these using cashew flour, which is new to me! It gave these the most decadent cake-like flavor, however, any sort of nut flour will work! And don’t get me started on that glaze. Not only is it SO easy and requires only 2 ingredients, but it literally melts in your mouth. I made two different flavors, to keep things interesting, but have fun with it! Mix it up!

What you’ll need:

1 1/4 cups cashew flour (or almond)

2 Tbsp melted coconut oil

1 flax egg (or 1 egg)

1/4 cup maple syrup

2 Tbsp coconut sugar

1 tsp vanilla

1/4 tsp sea salt

For the glaze:

1/2 cup monk fruit powdered sugar

2-3 tbsp nut milk

1 tsp vanilla

1 tbsp raspberry jelly (optional)


How to:

  1. Combine all ingredients in a bowl until a dough forms. Roll into small balls.

  2. Place the balls in your cake pop maker and allow to cook through. If you do not own a cake-pop maker, don’t fret! Place your balls on a lined baking sheet and bake at 350F until baked through (Not sure on time, as I haven’t made them in the oven!)

  3. Remove from the cake-pop maker or oven and allow to cool completely.

  4. To assemble the glaze, combine all ingredients in a bowl until smooth.

  5. Roll each ball into the glaze and place on a parchment-lined sheet. Place in the freezer/fridge for a couple minutes until the glaze has slightly set. Then, dip the donut holes once more, creating a thicker glaze.

  6. Keep in the fridge for best results. Enjoy!
