These cakey donut holes are baked instead of fried and sweetened with low glycemic erythritol for a guilt-free sugar fix!
Raise your hand if you love donuts! What about donut holes? We have been craving a really good donut hole lately. We don't mean a deep-fried donut, but a nice soft-baked one! A donut hole that is made with wholesome ingredients, so we don't have to feel guilty about having three or four of them in one sitting. #NoShame.
If you are feeling like we are, then you have landed in the right place! These gluten free donut holes are made with all better-for-you ingredients like almond flour, coconut flour, eggs, vanilla, and sea salt. Of course, we did keep the traditional butter in the recipe to make sure that we had that same bakery-like texture. But, feel free to swap that out with your favorite dairy-free brand, if desired.
We also kept the sugar low in this recipe by using the Now Foods erythritol in both the donut itself and in that sweet, sticky glaze! YUM!
Why erythritol over regular sugar? That's a great question! Erythritol is an excellent sugar alternative because it is low in carbohydrates and does not have any impact on your blood sugar levels. Yet it still provides 70% of the sweetness of regular sugar! This makes erythritol an excellent alternative for people following a keto, low carb, or diabetic-friendly style of eating. Still, even if you aren't following one of those types of diets, we love it! Not only does it work well in so many recipes, but it lasts a while and is easy to grab online.
Now Foods sells it in both granulated and confectioners', so no matter what your baking needs are, they have you covered!
You can now enjoy even your sweetest breakfast recipes in a wholesome and balanced way! We opted to round out these meal prep containers with some high-protein cottage cheese, fruit, and nuts. But, feel free to enjoy them as is or with any of your personal favorite sides. Hard-boiled eggs or Greek yogurt would also be great ways to sneak in a bit of protein.
Add in 2 tbsp. of unsweetened cacao powder and a few drops of chocolate monk fruit sweetener to your batter! You can even get the kids involved and make breakfast time more fun by giving them sprinkles to roll the donut holes in right after glazing! Heck, even a peanut butter drizzle would be a delicious way to finish them off!

The ingredients for the donut holes are pretty simple!
We went with cottage cheese, strawberries, and almonds as sides, but feel free to pick your favorites!
Once the donut holes are made, simply place them on your parchment-lined baking sheet and put them in the oven to do their thing.
After glazing, evenly divide between your 6 meal prep containers or store in an air-tight safe container until you are ready to enjoy them!
