The best healthy donut holes two ways… wowza these are amazing. Anyone else wake up in the morning craving something sweet because SAME. I have the biggest sweet tooth ever. I am always craving chocolate or cinnamon… and with these donut holes I get BOTH. WHOOP WHOOP. Made with super simple ingredients and no refined sugar, this is the perfect breakfast recipe to satisfy your sweet craving!
When I was younger, my mom and I would always go to dunkin donuts and pick up some donut holes to bring to the beach with us. And the tradition just got better… and healthier. Make these donut holes for your friends, fam, etc. I have full confidence that they (and you) will love them! The recipe makes enough for the donuts to be half chocolate and half cinnamon sugar. If you only want one topping then just simply double the topping recipe! I hope you love them!
