Baked Chocolate Doughnut Holes.
It’s morning and the kids are clamoring for doughnuts. Or maybe you’re the one needing the burst of sweetness to get you through the morning?
Either way, a trip to the store is out of the question and frying things at 7 a.m. seems a little too ambitious. If you have 10 minutes of hands on time to spare, you can enjoy a couple of these baked doughnut holes with that coffee. Better yet, put the kids to work while you sit back and watch the action.
These chocolate doughnut holes are quick to whip up, kids and adults love them, and they’re a bit healthier than their fried counterparts.
I dunked the tops in an easy powder sugar glaze and then coated them in sprinkles. You can cover the entire doughnut hole in glaze and sprinkles if you prefer, roll them in powdered sugar or eat them plain! No matter how you top them, these little bites of chocolatey goodness are perfect for breakfast or snack time.
