Cinnamon Sugar may be one of my all time favorite flavor combinations. I don’t know if I just love the flavor on it’s own or more of what it represents. Whenever I smell cinnamon I immediately think of Fall days. I love everything associated with this time of year like the temperatures and the sweaters, but I especially adore the food.
I was never a huge donut gal, but there’s something special about a warm cup of coffee/tea with a fresh hot donut. Since I can’t eat the usual store bought donut, I’ve had to improvise and make my own. This recipe took a little more testing than I’m used to, but I was not about to give up on this delicious cinnamon sugar combo. I think this final recipe turned out perfectly. I hope you guys love it as much as I do!

Cinnamon Sugar Donut Holes
Ingredients
- 2 cups oat flour (you can make your own by blending 2 cups oats)
- 1/3 cup coconut flour
- 1 1/2 tsp baking powder
- 1/2 tsp baking soda
- 1 1/2 tsp cinnamon
- 1/2 tsp sea salt
- 1/4 cup apple cider vinegar
- 1/4 cup applesauce
- 1/4 cup almond milk
- 1/4 cup maple syrup
- 1 tbsp cinnamon (for the coating)
- 1/4 cup coconut sugar (for the coating)
- 2 tbsp coconut oil (for the coating)
Instructions
- Combine all the ingredients for the donut and mix well
- Add in the wet and mix well to create a thick batter
- Roll small balls from the batter and place on a non-stick baking sheet
- Bake for about 15-16 minutes or until they become golden brown
- While they bake, prep the coating: in one bowl melt the coconut oil and another mix the coconut sugar and cinnamon
- After the donut holes are fully baked and cooled, dip each one in a thin layer of coconut oil and then in the cinnamon sugar mix. Repeat this step for each ball
- Enjoy!
We don’t have gf oats in New Zealand, would there be anything else I can use in place?
Thank you!
I’m actually not sure I’m sorry! Do you have regular oats? Maybe buckwheat?
Ground buckwheat or whole?
Maybe ground…? I’m really not sure!
Hi,
I want to make this recipe, but I can’t find at what temperature they should bake at?
Always 350 for my recipes!
