Baked Doughnut Holes (er, muffins)

This recipe is from The New American Diet, a cookbook published in the 90s when low-fat, low-cholesterol eating was all the rage.

I’m not really sure that these “doughnut holes” are a convincing stand-in for the real thing, but they are a yummy treat, and they’re a lot easier to make than real doughnut holes!

Ingredients

– Melted butter – Sugar – Egg – Vanilla – Milk – All-purpose flour – Baking powder – Salt

Instructions

First, mix the oil and sugar, and add in an egg, some vanilla, and some milk.

Step: 1

Mix flour, baking powder, and salt together.

Step: 2

Step: 3

Gently stir the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients. The batter should NOT be completely smooth…if it is, you mixed too much.

Step: 4

Spoon the batter into mini muffin tins. Mine are super nonstick, so I don’t bother greasing them, but you may want to grease yours.
