Ingredients

1 cup self rising flour
6.5 ounces vanilla yogurt
2 cups powdered sugar
2 tablespoons milk or as needed

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 180C/350F.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour with vanilla yogurt until completely combined and a thick dough remains.
Transfer the dough to a lightly floured kitchen surface and knead several times. Roll it out into a rectangular shape and chop it up into bite sized pieces. Using your hands, roll the dough into 12-15 small balls.
Transfer the balls of dough onto a lined baking sheet and bake for 12-15 minutes, until golden around the sides. Remove from the oven and let them cool slightly.
While the donut holes are cooling, whisk together the powdered sugar with milk until a thick glaze remains.
Dip each donut hole in the glaze ensuring each one is fully coated. Place them on a lined plate to firm them up.

Notes

TO STORE: Keep the baked and glazed donut holes in an airtight container at room temperature. Make sure to eat them within two days. To keep them for up to 5 days, store them in the refrigerator.

TO FREEZE: You can freeze the donuts without the glaze in a sealed container or bag for up to 6 months.

Flavor variations

You can make the donut holes of your dreams by experimenting with the flavors in the dough and the decorations. Here are some ideas to get you started:

Chocolate. Fold ¼ cup of cocoa powder into the dough.
Jelly-filled. Fill a piping bag with your favorite flavor of jelly or jam, then stick the tip in each donut hole and squeeze until it’s filled or feels slightly heavier in your hand.
Blueberry. Fold ½ cup of fresh blueberries and 1 teaspoon of lemon zest into the dough.
Protein donut holes. Fold ¼ cup of your favorite protein powder into the dough.
Cinnamon sugar. Roll the donut holes in a mix of 3/4 cup of white sugar (or the granulated sweetener of your choice) and 2 tablespoons of cinnamon as soon as they come out of the oven.
