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.

 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.

  • Fill pan 3/4 full.
  • Bake for 6-8 minutes.

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.

  4. 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.

  5. 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.
