Ingredients
  

1 cup all-purpose flour

1/2 cup granulated sugar

1/4 cup milk

1/4 cup unsweetened applesauce

1 large egg

2 teaspoons baking powder

1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract

1/4 teaspoon salt

1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon

1/2 cup maple syrup

2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted

Powdered sugar for dusting (optional)

Instructions
 

Prep the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and lightly grease a mini muffin tin or donut hole pan with cooking spray.

    Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, salt, and ground cinnamon until well combined.

      Combine Wet Ingredients: In another bowl, mix together the milk, applesauce, egg, and vanilla extract. Stir until fully integrated.

        Combine Mixtures: Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and gently fold them together until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; a few lumps are perfectly fine.

          Fill the Tin: Spoon the batter into the prepared mini muffin tin or donut hole pan, filling each cavity about 2/3 full.

            Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Once baked, let the donut holes cool in the pan for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

              Prepare Maple Glaze: While the donut holes are cooling, in a small bowl, whisk together the maple syrup and melted butter until smooth.

                Glaze the Donut Holes: Once the donut holes have cooled slightly, dip the top of each donut hole into the maple glaze, allowing any excess glaze to drip off. Place the glazed donut holes on a wire rack to let the glaze set.

                  Serve and Enjoy: If desired, dust the donut holes with powdered sugar for an extra touch of sweetness. Serve warm or at room temperature and enjoy your delicious Sweet Maple-Glazed Donut Holes!
