Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
  • ½ cup granulated sugar
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1 large egg
  • ½ cup milk
  • ¼ cup melted unsalted butter
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • For the Topping:
  • ½ cup granulated sugar
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • ¼ cup melted unsalted butter

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a mini donut pan or spray with non-stick cooking spray.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, ½ cup sugar, baking powder, salt, and ½ teaspoon cinnamon.
  3. In a separate medium bowl, whisk together the egg, milk, ¼ cup melted butter, and vanilla extract until well combined.
  4. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. Do not overmix. The batter should be thick but pourable.
  5. Spoon or pipe the batter into the prepared mini donut pan, filling each mold about two-thirds full.
  6. Bake for 8-10 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a donut comes out clean.
  7. While the donuts are baking, prepare the topping. In a shallow dish, combine the ½ cup sugar and 1 teaspoon cinnamon.
  8. Once the donuts are baked, let them cool in the pan for 1-2 minutes before carefully transferring them to a wire rack.
  9. While the donuts are still warm, dip each one into the melted butter, ensuring it’s fully coated.
  10. Immediately roll the buttered donuts in the cinnamon-sugar mixture until evenly coated.
  11. Let the donuts cool completely on the wire rack before serving.

Notes

  • For make-ahead donuts, store cooled donuts in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days.
  • These donuts can also be frozen. Place cooled donuts in a single layer on a baking sheet and freeze until solid. Transfer to a freezer bag or container. Thaw at room temperature before serving.
  • You can adjust the amount of cinnamon in the topping to your preference.
