Make these fluffy, bite-sized mini donuts baked instead of fried. They are coated in melted butter and cinnamon sugar for a sweet, nostalgic flavor perfect for brunch or snacks.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted, plus extra for dipping
  • 1 large egg
  • 1/2 cup milk
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/2 cup cinnamon sugar mixture (for coating)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease a mini donut pan.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, salt, granulated sugar, and ground cinnamon.
  3. In a separate bowl, whisk together the 1/4 cup melted butter, egg, milk, and vanilla extract until combined.
  4. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients. Mix until just combined; do not overmix the batter.
  5. Spoon or pipe the batter into the mini donut pan cavities, filling each about two-thirds full.
  6. Bake for 8 to 10 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden and a toothpick inserted comes out clean.
  7. While the donuts bake, prepare the coating. Melt additional butter in a small bowl. In a separate shallow dish, mix the cinnamon sugar coating.
  8. Remove the donuts from the pan immediately after baking. While still warm, dip the top of each donut into the melted butter, then immediately dredge it in the cinnamon sugar mixture.
  9. Place the coated mini donuts on a wire rack to cool slightly. Serve warm.

Notes

  • If you do not have a mini donut pan, you can use a standard donut pan, but adjust the baking time slightly.
  • For a quick meal planning idea, these donuts pair well with coffee or fruit for a weekend brunch.
