Doughnut holes

Doughnut holes

Doughnut holes are bite-sized doughnut balls, sold primarily in Canada and the United States. The name originates from the fact that the product appears to be made from the part of a full doughnut that is "cut out" to make the hole in the centre of the doughnut.

In the United States, these baked items are sometimes generically called "Munchkins", which refers to the brand name that the popular Dunkin' Donuts chain uses for its doughnut balls. Similarly, "Timbits" is often used as the generic term for these products in Canada, after the popular version available at Tim Hortons.
