Healthy Snickerdoodle Donut Holes

Melissa King Muffins, Breads and Donuts, Recipes

Okay, these were supposed to be snickerdoodle cookies, but they taste more like donuts to me.  So….they are Snickerdoodle Donut Holes!

Healthy Snicker Doodle

These are pretty healthy compared to most desserts.  They can even probably be eaten for breakfast.  There is little fat, so feel free to enjoy more than one.  I always do!

    1. You used flax instead of egg. Can you explain how please? Would I use a cup of flax seed? I would like to make these for my son. Thank you!

    2. I do not eat regular eggs, so I use flax as a substitute. Take 1 T flax meal and mix it with 3 T warm water. Whisk that together and place in the fridge for a few minutes. The mixture will get gummy like an egg. It works well. If you eat eggs, feel free to use a real one. :)

    7. These look really yummy. I made the somoas the other day and though it took a lot of time, they came out DELICIOUS. Probably one of the best desserts I have ever made and feel great eating them since they are healthy. Anyways, I's like to make these next but I don't have coconut yogurt. Would apple sauce work as a good substitute? I also have plain greek yogurt, would that taste weird?

      1. So glad you liked the Samoas! They do take a bit of effort. I used coconut yogurt because my daughter is allergic to dairy, but plain greek yogurt or applesauce would work too.

      1. Sure! Maple syrup would be fine. You may have to slightly decrease the liquid elsewhere in the recipe though.

    10. I am just noticing these l! They look delicious!!! I love your peanut butter chocolate chip donuts. Could I substitute oat flour instead of spelt, thanks a million!!!

      1. I think you probably could. Maybe add an extra egg? This is a very old recipe. I haven't made in forever. Thanks for the reminder!

    11. I saw this recipe & your site for the first time last night, fun stuff! I made these this morning & they were a hit....my hubby ate about 2/3 of them before 10am! I used a bit of coconut oil (instead of water) to keep them from sticking while rolling the dough into balls. My son breaks out with wheat, but I tried a spelt bread last week & he seems to be just fine with it, so this recipe was perfect in many ways. Yum & thanks!

      1. Hi Amanda! So glad you enjoyed this recipe! I love spelt and it can be tolerated by some people that cannot tolerate wheat.

      1. I haven't tried almond flour, so I am not sure how it will change the consistency. If you try, I'd love to know the results! :)
