Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Preheat the Oven

    Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a mini donut pan with non-stick spray or butter.

  2. 2

    Mix Dry Ingredients

    In a large bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, salt, and ground cinnamon until well combined.

  3. 3

    Combine Wet Ingredients

    In a separate bowl, mix the milk, egg, vanilla extract, and melted butter until smooth.

  4. 4

    Combine Mixtures

    Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir gently until just combined. Do not overmix; a few lumps are okay.

Baking

  1. 5

    Fill Donut Pan

    Using a piping bag or a spoon, fill each cavity of the mini donut pan about 2/3 full with the batter.

  2. 6

    Bake

    Bake in the preheated oven for about 10-12 minutes, or until the donuts spring back when lightly touched.

  3. 7

    Cool

    Remove the donuts from the oven and let them cool in the pan for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.

Topping

  1. 8

    Prepare Cinnamon Sugar

    In a small bowl, mix together 1 cup of granulated sugar and 2 tsp of ground cinnamon until evenly combined.

  2. 9

    Coat Donut Bites

    Brush each donut bite with melted butter and then roll them in the cinnamon sugar mixture until fully coated.
