How to Make Vegan and Gluten-Free Donut Holes
The secret to making crispy donut holes is to use crispy gluten-free cereal for the outer coating. Oh and use plenty of sugar.

These are the ingredients you will need:
- Vegan butter
- Sugar
- Cinnamon
- Gluten-Free Flour
- Crispy Gluten-Free Cereal
- Baking Powder
- Salt
- Vegetable Shortening
- Non-Dairy Milk
Baked Not Fried
These crispy treats are baked in the oven at 425 degrees for less than 20 minutes. When they come out, they will be super hot and perfectly crispy! If you want them a little crisper, just bake them a few more minutes.

In a small pan, melt butter. Pour butter into its own bowl. In a new bowl combine sugar and cinnamon. Set aside.

In a bowl mix flour, cereal, sugar, baking powder and salt. Fold in shortening.
-
Stir until mixture crumbly. Stir in milk.
-
Roll mixture into 1 inch balls with your hands.

-
Air Fryer Directions:Place donut holes into the air fryer. Air Fryer at 380 degrees F for 6 minutes. At the 3 minute mark, give the air fryer basket a quick shake.
