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
InstructionsÂ
- 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

I was wondering, what kind of pans did you use for these? Do you have a link? Lol, I feel so far behind
These look amazing! I’m just about to make them, but was just wondering how much to fill the donut pan. 1/2? 3/4?
Thank you Katie! My son had his first donut with this recipe and he loved it! He has an allergy to wheat and egg so the normal donut doesn’t work. Love your website and recipes.
I’ve never had a problem with it melting… You can always try waiting for the donuts to cool.
Has anyone tried this with Bob’s Red Mills GF flour? I noticed Arrowhead was called for in the recipe. They’re very similar but they may be just enough different that it could affect how much baking powder to add. Next I need to decide if I want to use coconut palm sugar or date sugar. Maybe I’ll make a batch of each and see which flavor I prefer. 🙂
No eggs… my whole blog is vegan, and I am too 😉
Does the baking time change at all if using a regular sized doughnut pan? Also, what is the yield if using a regular sized doughnut pan?

There’s no ingredient in these donuts that would yield a sour result. They are just basic donut ingredients. It sounds like your milk was bad or one of your ingredients was bad. Definitely not a problem with the recipe itself.
is it possible to make these donuts with all-purpose flour ….not gluten free flour?
Thank you!
Yes.
Yummy ,tasty thanks for great sharing.
