Ingredients
Scale
Dry Ingredients
- 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
Wet Ingredients
- 1/2 cup International Delight Caramel Macchiato Iced Coffee (or milk)
- 1/4 cup plain Greek yogurt
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1 large egg
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 3 tablespoons unsalted butter (melted and slightly cooled)
Cinnamon Sugar Coating
- 1/4 cup unsalted butter (melted and slightly cooled)
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
Instructions
- Prepare the Batter: In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, ground cinnamon, and salt until well combined. In another bowl, mix the International Delight Caramel Macchiato Iced Coffee (or milk), plain Greek yogurt, granulated sugar, egg, vanilla extract, and melted unsalted butter until smooth.
- Combine Wet and Dry Ingredients: Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, stirring gently until just combined, being careful not to overmix to keep the batter light and fluffy.
- Fill the Donut Hole Pan: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease a donut hole pan and fill each cavity about 3/4 full with the batter using a spoon or piping bag for clean filling.
- Bake the Donut Holes: Place the donut hole pan in the preheated oven and bake for 10 minutes or until the donut holes spring back when lightly pressed and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
- Prepare Cinnamon Sugar Coating: While the donut holes are baking, mix together the granulated sugar and ground cinnamon in a shallow dish. Once the donut holes are baked and slightly cooled, brush each donut hole with melted butter, then roll them in the cinnamon sugar mixture until evenly coated.
- Serve and Enjoy: Serve the baked cinnamon sugar donut holes warm or at room temperature for a perfect breakfast treat or snack.
Notes
- Use plain milk if you don't have iced coffee; it will still add moisture and flavor.
- Ensure the melted butter is slightly cooled before mixing to avoid cooking the egg in the batter.
- Donut holes can be stored in an airtight container for up to two days; reheat gently before serving.
- If you don't have a donut hole pan, you can bake the batter in mini muffin pans.
- For a vegan variation, substitute Greek yogurt and eggs with plant-based alternatives.
