Sugar Free Donut Holes are a lot easier to make than you may think.
Think of these as round bite size pieces of cake.
Sugar Free Donut Holes
Have you ever noticed that there are two ways to spell donut?
Some say that the real spelling for it is “doughnut”. However, over time we have used a spelling that is easier to remember and use. Thus, we have the donut.
No matter how you spell them, they really are a popular way to enjoy a breakfast or a snack.
It could be because they are so easy to pick up on the way to work to share with others. Almost everyone in a work setting can agree upon a free donut.
And when you have a circle that you have cut a hole into, what do you do with the hole that you just cut out? You make a donut hole.
Technically donuts are fried and loaded with sugar.
I’m not a huge fan of fried anything.
I am also not a huge fan of sugared anything. Hence, the sugarfreediva thing..
So, as a result, this recipe is an alternative to both the fried and the sugared donut hole recipe.
There are some ways to make this recipe even easier to make.
I have used a donut hole baking sheet that makes it easier to bake these in the oven.
Throw a cake pop stick into one of these and you can make it into just that- a cake pop.
And for those of use who like convenience, you can use a donut hole maker and bypass the oven entirely!
