Simple Mini Donuts

There are a couple small appliances in our home that don’t get the attention that they deserve. One is our blender. The other our mini donut maker. I am not the world’s greatest donut baker/maker, just a Momma who likes making things (including food) for her family. I’m going to share our favorite recipes as we go along.

I always pour my batter into a ziploc bag. Place a bottom corner in a large mug.

This is a great way to simply pour/fill the mini donut maker molds. You can learn from my mistakes. Mistake number one: cutting the hole in my bag too big. This caused no holes and a few to be under cooked. But don’t cut it too small either because then you won’t be able to get the mix out, or will end up squeezing your bag too hard and popping a hold in it.

This recipe is for plain Jane vanilla donuts. But they are all basically made the same way. Mix, bag, squeeze, close to cook. The mix tends to be thick. Which is great for filling the mold in the machine, leads to less mess too.

The great thing about this donuts is you can have an flavor icing you desire, we chose a maple flavored, homemade, wet/runny enough that I just dipped them in. My version of a Maple Dip from Tim Horton’s.

I’ve never attempted to make donuts at home but maybe I should give it a try!

This is awesome! I did not know there was such an appliance, but now I definitely must have one! I hope to win it, but either way I need to get one. Can’t wait to get to making my mini doughnuts! 😀

  It is pretty neat. Plus you don’t have to use it just for donuts. I tried something different in it too, I’ll be sharing it this week coming.
