Blueberry Muffin Donut Holes

Is it a muffin? Is it a donut hole? It's both! Don't get me started if it's doughnut or donut. Anyway, I wanted something fun for the littles to snack on after school. Heck, theses are great for before and at school too. Don't you agree that bite sized things are more fun? I am always on the hunt for something that is wholesome and tastes good. And maybe looks like the donut holes they ogle at the bakery. These were a hit. Even if my son has an aversion to warm melty blueberries. He can't really be my son can he?!

Blueberry Muffin Donut Holes

2 cups white whole wheat flour or sub all purpose flour

1 cup milk 

1/3 cup melted butter

1 large egg

1/4 cup white sugar or sub 1/8 cup maple syrup/honey
2 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon vanilla

3/4 cup fresh blueberries or sub frozen blueberries

There really isn't a whole lot to this recipe. Stir together all the dry ingredients in a medium bowl. Add wet ingredients except the blueberries. Don't over do this part. Combine just until it all comes together. Once you feel good about this fold in the blueberries. I used a donut hole maker, but you could do this in a muffin pan too. Pour batter into preheated donut hole maker. Don't overfill! You also need to work kind of fast. Close the lid and check on them after 5 minutes. Then every 30 seconds after that until nice and golden.

*If you are not using a donut hole maker grease the muffin pan or use muffin liners. Bake at 375 for 20-25 minutes. Test with a toothpick to be sure they are done. To really make sure they are done you need to eat one. And then another. I seriously couldn't walk past these warm spheres of goodness without grabbing another.

- This recipe makes 14 donut holes.

- If you want to get all Julia Child on me feel free to add some lemon zest, cinnamon or a glaze. YES, a glaze! I'm going to go do that right now.

- I used 2% milk, but you could use whatever it is that you have in your fridge.

- These should keep for up to a week in a sealed container. Mine lasted a whole three days. The kids really loved these.

Enjoy! Share with those who make your heart happy.
