I made these donuts for what was supposed to be a special occasion – the first predicted snowfall of the season.
But while the entire northeastern United States was blanketed with soft and powdery snow, those of us in the nation’s capital ended up just getting rain.
Safe and warm inside my apartment, with donuts in hand, I watched as the rain fell slowly down the window. Who needs snow anyway, when you can have donuts???

Snowball Donuts
Ingredients
- 2/3 cup milk of choice
- 1 1/2 tsp white or cider vinegar
- 2 1/2 tbsp oil (or banana, applesauce, or almond butter for oil-free)
- 1 tsp pure vanilla extract
- 1 cup spelt, white, or oat flour
- 1 1/2 tsp baking powder
- 1/2 cup sugar (or xylitol for sugar-free)
- 1/4 tsp salt
- powdered sugar or sugar-free powdered sugar
Instructions
- In a small bowl, whisk together the first four ingredients. Preheat your oven to 350F and grease a mini (or regular) donut pan or mini muffin tin. In a large bowl, combine all remaining ingredients except the powdered sugar, and stir well. Pour wet into dry, stir until just evenly mixed, and immediately pour into the donut pan. Bake 8 minutes, then allow to cool completely before removing from the trays. Pour the powdered sugar into a deep bowl, then either dip the doughnuts into the bowl or simply sprinkle powdered sugar over the tops.View Nutrition Facts

These are adorable and look so yummy! I live in GA and we had an ice storm Monday night. Some people are just now getting power back on… right in time for the next storm, predicted for tonight! Ugh!
Oh my these look amazingly delish! My daughter would love to make these. These are a definite must-do!
Too perfect for the season! These look great.
Snow would make me do it too. And sometimes snow is a good thing.
These look so delicious and so easy!
No snow days. And as I’m on crutches- I’m very glad about that though! I might have to have a snow ball donut day tho!
Ahh more snow! That sounds fun how they held a snowball fight in the city ^ ^
As for me though, I prefer these doughnuts to getting hit by snowballs, they look scrumptious! x
Hah! We have had 8 FEET of snow so far in the Boston area…in a matter of 4 weeks..so ya got a couple days off from work,unfortunately (unpaid) just longing for day without shoveling!
These donuts look good!
Katie, you posted this at just the right time! I have been craving these mini donuts and had not found a gf version. Do you think these would work in a mini muffin tin? Or any other way without a donut pan?
Read the recipe instructions.
