Baked, Mini Apple Cider Donuts are just about the BEST thing ever! No need to run to the donut shop, you can bake a batch of these cuties any time of day (or night).
I couldn’t resist buying a mini donut pan.
I was surprised to see it at a store the day after I made Baked Pumpkin Donuts and just had to have it.
I’m so glad I did, these mini donuts are so cute!
Powdered sugar and cinnamon topped donuts are my all-time favorite.
These are easy to make and you can pop a whole bunch in your mouth as soon as they are done baking and the flavor is fantastic.
Just the right size to pop one,
or two,
or three,
….LOL
you get the idea!
They were delicious and reminded me of the Wee Donuts I had as a kid hot out of the machine, as they passed by 🙂
Mini donut pan, I bet you’ll come up with many uses for this pan. You can easily mix up a cake mix and make some yummy donuts using a cake mix.

- Bake for 6-8 minutes.
- When they were still warm I rolled them in a mixture of powdered sugar and cinnamon.
Notes
These are fat-free, but actually, I like the texture better with butter added in. So add 3 tablespoons of melted cooled butter to the batter if you prefer.

I made these today and found the texture to be very gummy. I was disappointed in them. I made both large and mini and they both turned out the same. I followed the recipe exactly.

for the anonymous commenter above, I do find that sometimes fat free versions are a little spongier than with the oil or butter added in, I typically bake them at a lower temperature and often have a better result. If 325 wasn't low enough to give it a better texture, try 300 and just add a couple minutes.
