I am not high take when it comes making anything. The reason we have a mini donut maker in the first place is probably because I bought it impulsively.

Other than my donut maker, I don’t get fancy when I make my mini donuts but I know it could be easier if I had one of those donut making mold fillers. It could simplify filling the molds, versus using a piping bag, or like I do, using a Ziploc bag and a mug.

Each bowl has a pour spout, which helps to reduce the chance of spills when transferring mixes. I love bowls, the hand and the pour spout making them great for filling piping bags and other pans when baking.

How to Make Donuts with a Donut Maker

First you are going to mix up your mini donut maker recipe. Could be the vanilla simple mini donuts, or maybe some chocolate mini donuts, or live on a the wild side, and make both! Both are very easy to make.

You don’t have to use one of these recipes though, you can use almost any mini donut recipe in your donut maker.

Making a Piping Bag to Make Mini Donuts

I make a piping bag out of a Ziploc bag. Put the corner of the bag into a large mug, fold the open bag open over the mug. I pour, or scrape my mini donut batter into the Ziploc bag.

You can seal the bag but you don’t have to, but make sure to squeeze the air out of the top of the bag. Twist the bag above the batter.

Snip the corner off. Not too big, or you’ll have too much batter into your mold, too small, and you risk popping your bag. I have finally managed to find find the perfect size.

How to Make Donuts in Donut Maker

Preheat your donut maker. Each donut maker is going to be different. Read your instructions to see how exactly your appliance works.

Now that you have your mini donut recipe batter ready to go you can make mini donuts.

Make sure to a non-stick spray before you fill your molds.

I pipe my batter into my preheated donut maker molds. This allows me to easily fill the molds with my batter without over filling and making a mess, and to make sure they are completely filled.

Mine has two little lights on the top. Orange and green. When I plug my appliance in the orange light comes on. It turns green when it is preheated. When I fill and then close my mini donut maker the orange light is the only one on. The green light will come on when my mini donuts are ready to be removed.

5 Minute Single Serve Apple Crisp

by Ashley Mullen

Mom needs a break, and a time out, and something sweet to snack on while she takes said time out. That’s why single serve desserts are so amazing. Let’s take the delicious treat that takes forever to make and then you have to share, and turn it a quick ready in less than five minute snack just for you.

5 Minute Single Serve Apple Crisp

This post contains affiliate links, see my disclosure policy for more information.

I have been making this for myself for a number of years now, and I don’t know why I didn’t share it here before. I love apple crisp, there are a few recipes already on here for different versions such as apple crisp made in the slow cooker and one made completely in the microwave.

Everyone deserves a break, and a sweet treat. It’s got fruit in it so that counts for something even if it is followed up by some sugar. I usually feel less guilt having this 5 minute single serve apple crisp than say, a single serve brownie.

What you need:

an apple
flour
brown sugar
cinnamon
margarine
quick oats

How to make it:

Chop your apple into small pieces. With 1 tsp of margarine put in microwave for 30 seconds. This is to start softening the apple.
Add in 1 tsp cinnamon and flour, and mix.
In another bowl mix the remaining ingredients.
Spread it over your apple, I like to just drop spoonfuls on.
Heat for 3 minutes in the microwave.
Top with something delicious: ice cream, caramel sauce, whatever sweetness you’d like.

I know when I think apples I think of fall, but apple crisp is perfect anytime of the year. It is a sweet treat that can warm you up from the inside out, making it perfect for a cool spring or fall evening watching TV or reading a book. Or just because.

I have made these for each of us before. A dessert for one after supper one night.
