Method

Dough Preparation

  1. 1

    Preheat the Oven

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

  2. 2

    Mix Dry Ingredients

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

  3. 3

    Combine Wet Ingredients

    In another bowl, beat the eggs and then mix in the milk, melted butter, and vanilla extract.

  4. 4

    Combine Wet and Dry Mixtures

    Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and mix until just combined. Do not overmix.

  5. 5

    Fill the Donut Pan

    Using a piping bag or a spoon, fill each donut cavity in the pan about 3/4 full with the batter.

  6. 6

    Bake the Donuts

    Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

  7. 7

    Cool the Donuts

    Let the donuts cool in the pan for about 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Cinnamon Sugar Coating

  1. 8

    Prepare Cinnamon Sugar

    In a shallow bowl, combine the granulated sugar and ground cinnamon. Mix well.

  2. 9

    Coat the Donuts

    Once the donuts have cooled, roll each donut in the cinnamon sugar mixture until fully coated.

Dips Preparation

  1. 10

    Make the Chocolate Dip

    In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the chocolate chips and heavy cream. Microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring in between, until melted and smooth.

    Prepare Caramel Dip

    Simply warm the caramel sauce in a small saucepan over low heat, stirring until smooth.
