Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1.25 cups All-purpose flour
- 0.33 cups Granulated sugar
- 1.5 teaspoons Baking powder
- 0.25 teaspoons Salt
- 0.5 cups Whole milk
- 3 tablespoons Unsalted butter (melted and slightly cooled)
- 1 teaspoons Vanilla extract
- 1 unit Large egg
- as needed Non-stick cooking spray
- optional Optional glaze (powdered sugar, milk, vanilla extract)
- optional Optional toppings (sprinkles, chocolate chips, etc.)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a mini donut pan with non-stick cooking spray.
In a medium-sized bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, and salt until evenly combined.
In a separate small bowl or measuring cup, whisk together the milk, melted butter, vanilla extract, and egg until smooth.
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and gently stir until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; the batter should be slightly thick.
Transfer the batter into a piping bag or a resealable plastic bag with the corner snipped off for easy filling. Pipe the batter into the prepared mini donut pan, filling each cavity about 2/3 full.
Bake in the preheated oven for 8-10 minutes, or until the donuts are lightly golden and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Allow the donuts to cool in the pan for 5 minutes, then carefully transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.
For the glaze (optional): In a small bowl, mix 1 cup of powdered sugar, 2–3 teaspoons of milk, and 1/4 teaspoon of vanilla extract until smooth. Dip the tops of the cooled donuts into the glaze and add sprinkles or other toppings if desired.
Let the glaze set for a few minutes before serving. Enjoy your mini baked donuts!
