Apple Cider Donut Holes

These are the perfect fall treat for morning, noon, or night. They are a great mix of flavor and nostalgia and aren't that bad for you! We will definitely be making these again! Here's the very tasty recipe:

Apple Cider Donut Holes

2 cups flour
1 1/2 tsp baking powder
1 1/2 tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp salt
2 teaspoons cinnamon
1 large egg
2/3 cup brown sugar
1/2 cup apple butter
1 tsp vanilla extract
1/3 cup honey
1/3 cup apple cider
1/3 cup plain yogurt (I used vanilla nonfat Greek yogurt)
2 Tbsp canola oil
canola cooking spray
2 Tbsp unsalted butter
1/4 cup sugar
1 Tbsp cinnamon

1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees and spray a mini muffin pan with cooking spray.
2. In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and cinnamon.
3. In another large bowl, whisk together the egg, brown sugar, apple butter, vanilla extract, honey, apple cider, yogurt, and canola oil. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredient mixture and whisk until just incorporated. Don't over-mix - a few lumps are okay.
4. Using a tablespoon or cookie scoop, fill a 24-hole mini muffin pan with the batter; fill each hole 3/4 of the way. Bake for approximately 10-12 minutes and cool on a wire rack.
5. Combine cinnamon and sugar in a bowl. Before donut holes cool, roll them in the cinnamon and sugar mixture. Serve warm or at room temperature.
