If you’ve been hanging around here long enough, then you know that I love my coffee.

Every morning, I eagerly look forward to my first hot cup of deliciousness. And ever since I bought Seattle’s Best Coffee® House Blend K-Cup® Pods, I’ve been savoring my cup of joe just a little more slowly. After all, it’s the quality of those coffee beans that makes my mornings extra tasty.

Have you tried Seattle’s Best Coffee before? It’s a favorite of mine. I love that they source the highest quality Brazilian coffees, tasted numerous times before going into your cup. It also means cafe quality beans at a price you can feel good about. And the House Blend K-Cup® Pods that I picked up are a rich, smooth, and savory medium roast. You can’t beat that in a great cup of coffee!

SOME BAKING TIPS FOR THESE CINNAMON SUGAR DONUT HOLES:

Use a 24-count mini muffin pan for these donut holes. When the batter bakes in the oven, it will puff up and look like a round donut hole.

Be sure not to over-mix the dry and wet ingredients when combined. You want the batter to remain light and fluffy, and over-mixing will cause dense donuts.

To fill the muffin cavities, you can use a piping bag or spoon batter into a large ziplock bag and cut of the corner. This makes it easy to pipe the filling, with less mess, too. In fact, this is how I prepare all of my donut batters.

Be sure that the donut holes are completely cooled before dipping into the melted butter. Otherwise, the butter will cause the donuts to crumble slightly.
