I’ve professed my love of all things mini before… like here, here, and here. But love takes on an all new meaning with these delicious baked mini doughnuts. Little halo’s of cinnamony, sugary goodness. You just can’t go wrong.
Seriously…
Did you look at that picture?
I’m not gonna say that these are good for you, but the fact that they are baked to perfection certainly makes them better than your typical fried up carnival variety. So you can indulge a little more guilt free, which is good, because you’ll definitely be eating more than just a couple.
I picked up an electric doughnut maker a while back, and have finally gotten around to taking it out of the box (in other news, I also have an unopened mini doughnut pan, and apparently a kitchen gadget shopping problem…), and let me tell you, if I had of realized how easy to use this thing was, I’d have been eating homemade doughnuts for months.
Don’t worry, I fully intend on quickly making up for lost time!
The recipe is quick and easy, and the results are amazing! I suggest you go make these, stat!
Baked Mini Doughnuts
Ingredients
- 2 cups all purpose flour
- ¾ cup granulated sugar
- 1 tsp baking soda
- 1 tsp baking powder
- 1 tsp salt
- 2 tsp vanilla extract
- 2 eggs
- ¾ cup milk
- 2 Tbsp butter, melted
Topping:
- ¼ cup butter, melted
- ½ cup sugar
- 1 tsp cinnamon
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees, or turn on doughnut maker
- In a large bowl, combine all dry ingredients
- In a small bowl, combine milk, eggs, melted butter, and vanilla. Wisk until thoroughly mixed
- Gently fold wet ingredients into dry mixture until just combined
- Fill piping bag or resealable sandwich bag with batter and pipe into doughnut machine or doughnut pan filling ¾ full
- Bake 5-7 minutes or until golden brown
- When cool enough to handle, dip mini doughnut in butter and roll in cinnamon sugar mixture to coat
- Enjoy! Obviously these are best served warm, but will stay fresh for 24-48 hours if stored tightly (I can not speak to this as they didn't last more than 12 hours at my house!)
