these baked chocolate donut holes are rich, chocolatey, and perfectly balanced, not overly sweet, but still totally satisfying.
the cocoa powder gives them a deep chocolate flavor, while the banana and greek yogurt keep the inside soft, moist, and almost brownie-like.
the powdered sugar glaze adds that classic donut shop finish, setting into a delicate shell that gives just a little crack when you bite in.
they’re cakey without being dry, tender without being dense, and honestly hard to stop at just two.
these donut holes are baked instead of fried, which immediately makes them lighter and easier to digest.
they’re made with gluten-free oat flour and rice flour for structure, naturally sweetened with banana and coconut sugar, and use real, simple ingredients- no shortening, no frying oil, no boxed mixes.
the addition of eggs and greek yogurt adds a bit of protein, while oat flour and cocoa powder contribute fiber, making these more filling than traditional donut holes.
they’re still a treat, but one that feels balanced and nourishing.
these are the kind of bake you make on a slow weekend morning or add to a holiday breakfast spread.
they feel special enough for christmas morning, brunch with family, or a cozy winter weekend, but easy enough to whip up anytime a chocolate craving hits.
they also make a great make-ahead option. glaze them the night before and they’re ready to grab and enjoy the next morning with coffee.
one of the best parts? no donut mold needed.
you can use a donut hole pan or a mini muffin pan, both work perfectly. everything comes together in one bowl, no mixer required, and they bake in just 12 minutes.
this is a low-stress, high-reward recipe that’s approachable even if you’re not a frequent baker.
this recipe is flexible and forgiving:
just avoid reducing the total flour amount, the balance is key for structure.
store glazed donut holes in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days, or in the refrigerator for 4–5 days. if stacking, place parchment paper between layers to protect the glaze.
they can also be frozen (unglazed) for up to 2 months. thaw at room temperature and glaze fresh before serving.

Have you tried egg free- house has egg allergy
you can use flax eggs but they will be quite dense and a little rubbery!
