Cinnamon Doughnut Holes are a delightful treat that can brighten up any morning. The little bites of joy are fluffy, sweet, and coated in a sugary cinnamon mixture that will have you reaching for more. Let’s explore how to create the irresistible doughnut holes at home.
When making Cinnamon Doughnut Holes, feel free to substitute the Bisquick with your favorite gluten-free baking mix if necessary. If you’re looking to reduce sugar, use a sugar alternative for rolling or in the batter, but keep in mind that texture might vary. Always check labels for potential allergens, especially if serving to guests.

Cinnamon Doughnut Holes Recipe
Ingredients
- 1 cup Bisquick baking mix
- 1 tablespoon sugar
- 1 tablespoon vanilla
- 1/2 cup milk
- 1/4 cup sugar
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
Instructions
- In a mixing bowl, combine 1 cup Bisquick baking mix, 1 tablespoon sugar, 1 tablespoon vanilla, and 1/2 cup milk, stirring until blended and smooth.
- Heat oil in a deep skillet or pan over medium heat, ensuring it’s hot enough for frying.
- Using a spoon, drop rounded half-teaspoons of the batter into the hot oil, frying 4-6 balls at a time to avoid overcrowding.
- Fry the doughnut holes until they are golden brown, which should take about 3-4 minutes, turning occasionally for even cooking.
- Once browned, carefully remove them from the oil and drain on paper towels to absorb excess fat.
- In a separate bowl, mix 1/4 cup sugar with 1 teaspoon cinnamon. While the doughnut holes are still warm, roll them in the cinnamon-sugar mixture for that sweet, sugary crust.
- For large batches, continue mixing and frying in consecutive batches, but remember not to double the recipe. The batter loses leavening power the longer it stands.
