There are a couple of 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, and loves how easy mini donuts are.

I like to share our favorite recipes as we go here on Forgetful Momma. These simple mini donuts are a hit in my house and my kids want them all the time.
My Bella donut maker is no longer sitting around and collecting dust.
My kids LOVE these mini donuts, and I love that they take hardy anytime at all to make.
What you need:
- 2 cups flour
- 1/2 cup sugar
- 2 eggs
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1 cup low-fat milk
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon vanilla
How to make Simple Mini Donut for donut maker:
After I mix all the ingredients together I place a large Ziploc bag, corner first, into a mug. I then pour my batter into a Ziploc bag.
This makes it like a piping bag. Which is a great way to simply pour/fill the mini donut maker molds.
This has proven to be the easiest and quickest way for me to make mini donuts. And with relatively no mess.
This recipe is for plain Jane vanilla donuts, but I make all mini donuts in the same way.
Mix, bag, squeeze, close to cook. The mix tends to be thick, which makes filling the mold in the machine to be super easy and less messy as well.
How to make Donuts in A Donut Maker
You can learn from my mistakes. Mistake number one: cut the hole in my bag too big. This caused our mini donuts to have no holes and a few others to be undercooked.
But don’t cut that hole 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.
You can find my post on how I use my mini donut maker here and see exactly how I make them without making a mess.
The great thing about these donuts is you can have a flavored 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.
These are something that your kids can make themselves too without having to worry about them being near a hot oven.
Let your kids get in the kitchen and make delicious and fun snack for them and their friends.

We have been loving our little donuts during rainy spring days while we watch documentaries on whatever topic we are learning about in our homeschool.
Snacks always make learning more fun. We’re currently watching a series on Netflix called Drain the Oceans.
Where to Buy Donut Makers?
I bought my donut maker at my local Wal-Mart and you definitely can still get one there. Another place that you can buy a donut maker would be Amazon. Great prices, and delivered to you at home.
Loved the recipe!
