Mini Baked Donuts
My girls have a DEEP love for donuts. We get them for the girls every once and a while for a special treat. I went on the hunt for a healthy donut recipe that I could make at home for my little ladies.
The girls LOVED these. They are not as good as the real deal, but I was shocked that a baked donut could taste soooooo good! The girls didn’t mention them tasting any different, so that was awesome!!! Hope you enjoy!
Mini Baked Donuts
- Preheat oven to 425 degrees. In a large mixing bowl, sift together (or stir with a whisk), flour, sugar, baking powder and salt.
- Add buttermilk, egg, butter and vanilla.
- Mix until just combined.
- Scoop batter into a large ziplock style bag, or large piping bag and snip off the tip to fill doughnut pan.
- Fill each doughnut cup approximately 1/3- 1/2 full.The batter will rise quite a bit during baking.Bake 5-7 minutes or until the top of the doughnuts spring back when touched.Cool in pan 1-2 minutes, then transfer to a cooling rack.
- Time to make the frosting! In a small bowl, stir together sugar, milk and extract until sugar is completely dissolved.
- Use immediately to glaze doughnuts. Dip each donut in glaze, then set on a plate.
- Here they are after 1 coat. I did 2 coats per donut. Top with sprinkles while still wet.

I wanted to make your mini cake donuts for my granddaughter’s birthday tomorrow morning. I cannot get the recipe. I click on the hyperlink recipe and it takes me to your recipes. I scrolled through 5 pages to find the mini donut picture. I click on it and it takes me right back to the instructions without the ingredients (but the word recipe with a hyperlink. I’m very disappointed. I’ll keep searching.
Do you think the doughnuts could be frozen for about a week before glazing?
Yes Pat, that will just fine.
Do you know where you got your mini donut pan ?
I got mine on amazon Lesly
