Apple Cider Donut Holes


Apple Cider Doughnut Holes
adapted from Feastie
makes approximately 36 mini muffins/"donut holes"
Ingredients:
  • 1 c. white flour
  • 1 c. whole wheat flour
  • 1 1/2 tsp baking powder
  • 1 1/2 tsp baking soda
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 1 tsp cinnamon
  • 1 egg
  • 2/3 c. brown sugar
  • 2/3 c. apple butter
  • 1 tsp vanilla
  • 1/3 c. honey
  • 1/2 c. apple cider
  • 1/3 c. plain yogurt
  • 2 Tbsp applesauce
Topping:

  • 2 Tbsp unsalted butter, 1/4 c. sugar, 1Tbsp cinnamon
OR

  • Powdered sugar
Directions:

  1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees and spray mini muffin pan with non-stick cooking spray.
  2. Combine dry ingredients in a large mixing bowl.
  3. In another bowl, combine all wet ingredients. Do not over mix.
  4. Slowly pour wet ingredients into dry mixture.
  5. Use a cookie scoop to fill muffin pan.  Obviously we over filled our tin.  But they were yummy still.  Bake for 10-12 min and cool.
  6. Melt butter.  Brush donut holes lightly with the butter and dip into sugar/cinnamon mixture.  OR... dust with powdered sugar.
These are so yummy!  I made them for breakfast while we had company.  But the kids got ahold of them the night before and dug in.  We had a couple for dessert and I had a hard time staying out of them for the rest of the night.  Perfect way to celebrate the beginning of fall!
