Want to make your own homemade copycat Hostess Donettes? This recipe for Gluten-Free Baked Mini Powdered Doughnuts is just the thing! These donuts are sugar-free, grain-free, paleo, vegan, allergy-free, and only require 8 ingredients to make! A healthy dessert or snack perfect for little hands or your own nostalgic indulgence!

Mini powdered doughnuts were a household favorite growing up! When mom brought a bag of Hostess Powdered Donettes home, you know our fingers were coated in powdered sugar before she could even set the bag down! There was nothing better than licking the powdered sugar off your fingers after eating some of those mini doughnuts! I always thought of them as the sweet sister to the savory Cheetos or Doritos finger-licking snack necessity. If you didn’t lick the powder off…did you even snack? (I should also note that the powdered sugar Donettes were the superior variety over the chocolate frosted by far!)Read More

Sure, classic hummus is delicious and easy to whip up with just a can of chickpeas, but amping up the flavor (and color) always makes it a bit more special!
