It's that time of year again, when elves, or in our case Nordic Pixies, start to appear. (Think along the line of Elf on a Shelf, but Pixies can be touched and played with. . . . which. . . ahem. . . saves my momma sanity!! )
In our house our pixies always arrive somewhere around the beginning of December, and they always greet the girls with a breakfast of "snowball donuts".
Snowball Donuts, otherwise know as powdered sugar donut holes, are easy to make, and always a big hit!
For this recipe I used a cake pop maker that makes 9 donut holes at a time. ( I got mine on sale on Black Friday a few years ago for around $10).
This recipe makes about 24 donut holes.
Pre-heat the cake pop maker, and give a spray with non-stick cooking spray.
In mixing bowl #1, combine together the coconut milk (I like the Silk brand), and apple cider vinegar. Give a quick mix and allow it to sit while you combine the dry ingredients in a separate bowl. This gives the coconut milk a chance to curdle and create a type of buttermilk.
In bowl #2, mix together the flour blend, cinnamon, nutmeg, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Mix these together and set aside.
Now go back to bowl #1 and add in the sugar, melted butter substitute ( I use Earth Balance Soy Free), and vanilla extract. Give this a stir and then add in your dry ingredients from bowl #2. Mix until it's all combined.
Transfer the mix (this is one of my favorite Sandra Lee tricks) to a plastic freezer bag, cut off the tip to pipe them into the cake pop holes. Close the lid and let these little babies cook. I usually let mine cook a few minutes longer after the "read" light turns off.
Once all of the donut holes are made, turn them into "snowballs" by rolling them through powered sugar. They should still be slightly warm, so the powdered sugar will stick right to them.
These are a quick and easy way to add Christmas cheer to any morning. . . . or can be used anytime you're in the mood for powdered sugar donut holes 😜
Happy Baking!
