Ingredients

Donut Holes:

¾ cup all-purpose flour not packed
¾ tsp baking powder
¼ tsp salt
1 Tablespoon unsalted butter melted
1 egg room temp
1 tsp vanilla bean paste or extract
¼ cup granulated sugar
¼ cup milk
¼ cup mini milk chocolate chips

Vanilla Glaze:

1¾ cup powdered sugar
1 tsp vanilla extract
¼ cup milk

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Spray a mini muffin tin with baking spray, set aside.
Mix the flour with the baking powder and salt in a medium-sized bowl. Set aside.
¾ cup all-purpose flour, ¾ tsp baking powder, ¼ tsp salt
In a separate bowl, mix in the cooled melted butter with the vanilla and egg. Whisk in the sugar and milk until combined.
1 Tablespoon unsalted butter melted, 1 egg room temp, 1 tsp vanilla bean paste or extract, ¼ cup granulated sugar, ¼ cup milk
Add wet mixture to dry ingredients and mix until there are no dry lumps.
Fold in the chocolate chips.
¼ cup mini milk chocolate chips
Fill greased mini muffin tin sections halfway up.
Pop ’em in the oven and bake for 6-7 minutes until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
Turn out onto a wire rack to cool.
While donuts are cooling, make the glaze by whisking the powdered sugar, vanilla, and milk together until smooth.
1¾ cup powdered sugar, 1 tsp vanilla extract, ¼ cup milk
Using two forks or your fingers, dip each donut hole. I dipped each one twice, there was just enough glaze. Serve and enjoy!

Notes

This makes a smaller batch, you can easily double the recipe to have more.
You can glaze or decorate to your liking, see some of my ideas above.
We like mini milk chocolate chips but semi-sweet and dark are also delicious.
You can use either vanilla bean paste or extract for this at a 1:1 ratio.
Remember, the best donut hole recipe is the one you make your own!
These can be frozen, see my tips above on how to do that.
