Mini-Donut Bites

Chocolate Sauce

Method

Mini-Donut Bites

  1. 1

    Prepare the Batter

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

  2. 2

    Combine Wet Ingredients

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

  3. 3

    Combine Wet and Dry Ingredients

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

  4. 4

    Preheat the Oven

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

  5. 5

    Fill the Donut Pan

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

  6. 6

    Bake

    Bake in the preheated oven for about 10-12 minutes, or until the donuts are golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

  7. 7

    Cool and Dust

    Remove from the oven and let cool for a few minutes. Once cooled, dust the warm mini donuts with icing sugar.

Chocolate Sauce

  1. 8

    Heat the Cream

    In a small saucepan, heat the heavy cream over medium heat until it just begins to simmer.

  2. 9

    Add Chocolate Chips

    Remove the saucepan from heat and add the semi-sweet chocolate chips. Let sit for a minute to melt.

  3. 10

    Stir Until Smooth

    Whisk the mixture until the chocolate is completely melted and the sauce is smooth.
