Jelly Donut Holes

Jelly Donut Holes recipe! These baked donut holes are easy to make and are rolled around in delicious cinnamon sugar! These homemade treats taste just like Dunkin’ Donuts Munchkins but are much healthier! 

So there’s no judging here, right? So when I tell you we made these Easy Jelly Donut Holes late at night one evening and the next morning they were gone already, you won’t judge me, right?  Ok good. Because this totally happened and I have no regrets.

Jelly Donut Holes

 I have been craving donuts.  Bad.  I think I say at least once a day “I want a donut” and I really do want one.  I love chocolate donuts, peanut butter donuts, tea donuts, carrot cake donuts and more but I have a very soft spot for Donut Holes, especially when they are cinnamon sugar covered.  Oh and also when they are filled with homemade jelly that just smells like strawberries and Summertime.  These donuts you guys, they’re made of happiness and magic.

Easy Jelly Filled Donut Holes recipe, tastes just like Dunkin' Donuts Munchkins. Recipe makes 16 donut holes.

When I originally made these I thought they were going to last so that I could share with friends the following day, but they are so irresistible that they were gone rather quickly before sharing with friends.  So this week I’ll be making 2 more batches.. one for friends and one for us again.  They’re that good!

JELLY FILLED donut muffin holes are AMAZING! These baked donut holes are easy to make and are rolled around in delicious cinnamon sugar! These homemade treats taste just like Dunkin' Donuts Munchkins but are much healthier!

I hope you give these a shot.  They would perfect for breakfast, a great treat to bring into work to share with coworkers, or a dessert.   Honestly, they’d be perfect all the time.

Enjoy!

    Probably a simple question but I can’t find it on here. Do you push the tip of the pastry bag down into the center donut on top to fill it with jelly?

    I sooooo need to start watching Game of Thrones!!!! I just finished with the Awkward finale and currently watching Orange is the new Black! I’m going to squeeze in Game of Thrones too now! I am sooo not surprised that these donut holes were devoured overnight! They look incredible! How can anyone NOT keep their hands off this hot delicious stuff?! 😀

    Nope, no judgement. Totes understand. I’ve been known to go back and make another batch. Jam donuts remind me of high school, we had jam donut day, no kidding, each week we’d eagerly line up for a hit of these delightful little beauties. Of all the things to remember about school, that was def a highlight. 🙂

    Ohhhh my gosh. These look AMAZING (yes I needed capitals to say that!) and I would have totally devoured them overnight too. It’s been a very long time since I last ate a doughnut and now I’m questioning my priorities… it’s going to be on my list for the weekend, for sure! As for GoT? Aaron is reading the series at the moment. We’ve seen all of the seasons up to the most recent one but we don’t have pay TV so I am waiting impatiently for the series to hit Blu-ray for rental. Aargh!! Thanks for not including any ridiculous spoilers in here… I’ve been trying to keep my ears closed so as not to spoil the suspense!!! Hope you’re enjoying some gorgeous weather over there now Pam xx

    Y0u were kidding weren’t you—–about the fact the donut holes disappeared. It was a testament to the recipe, not a guilt session. It was also your responsibility to make sure those holes are good 30 min after the fact, an hour after the fact, an hour half after the fact etc. Sooooo good job and thank you for going above and beyond to provide your readers with such thorough research.

    Jelly donuts could not be easier than this. I am afraid this is a dangerous discovery! I can’t stop thinking about all the tasty combinations that are possible.
