Hi Bold Bakers! This post is sponsored by PAVILIONS®. Already have an account? The only thing easier than making my Easy No-Yeast Donut Holes recipe is getting all the ingredients! These soft, fried donuts are light, sweet, and don’t need any yeast, making them faster and simpler than any other donut you could make. This is perfect for when you just don’t have time to fuss around on a weekend morning and need your donuts ASAP. When I sat down to work out this recipe, I started with one thing: a huge craving for donuts! Once I knew what I wanted to make, it was time to prep with a list of ingredients I would need! As for getting all the ingredients, well, that was even more effortless than my already straightforward recipe, and that’s because I used the PAVILIONS® Deals and Delivery app and PAVILIONS for U™ Member program. I don’t know if there’s a simpler way to find savings, and save a trip to the store too! It’s a joy to use! PAVILIONS for U™ offers weekly personalized deals, digital coupons to clip, free monthly items, and even a birthday treat! Plus, with all the baking I do, it’s much easier to add the ingredient(s) I need right in the app than to keep a list somewhere I might lose — and then to have everything delivered without having to get my 17-month-old in and out of the car is a huge bonus. Yes, please! I also want to give a special thanks to PAVILIONS® grocery stores for sponsoring this recipe! They made my job way easier, that’s for sure, and now you get to make yourself donut holes in Birthday Cake, Cinnamon Sugar, and Maple flavors.
What Is A Donut Hole?
A donut hole is exactly what it sounds like, but kind of paradoxically. It’s the bit of a donut left over after punching the hole into the round rings you’re used to seeing — like a classic glazed donut. It’s not really a hole itself, but you get it! Apparently, the donut hole was invented by a teenager, on a ship, in the 1840s. The rise to popularity is a long and winding journey, but when you’re frying dough and making it sweet, it’s destined to become famous at some point. My donut holes don’t need to be removed from a donut… and they also don’t need any yeast before you fry them up to perfection.
Ingredients For Donut Holes
You need all the usual suspects for this recipe! Flour, sugar, baking powder, O Organics® eggs, buttermilk, and a few more. If you’re out of any of these, use the PAVILIONS® Deals and Delivery app as I did. It will make shopping for your ingredients so easy! It’s just a simpler way to find deals and get your groceries delivered. That way when you want to whip up donut holes for any occasion, it’s completely fuss-free! What you won’t need to get as an ingredient is yeast, and here’s why:
Yeast Vs. No-Yeast Donuts
Yeasted donuts are absolutely lovely, but here’s the thing — so are these! Instead of using yeast, and having to wait hours on end for rising, I use baking powder and baking soda to do the heavy lifting. The result is a donut I promise you’ll adore, with the same sweetness and chew you’d get from a classic yeasted version. Sometimes you don’t need a bunch of yeast hanging around anyway, so why go out of your way to get some when you can just skip it altogether?
