These mini donuts are simple to make, but they are BIG on flavor. I am not normally a fan of cinnamon, but these, were perfect, not too much cinnamon in the mini donuts nor the sugar topping on these cinnamon sugar mini donuts. A fun, sweet treat after a long day of learning in your homeschool.

How to make Cinnamon Sugar Mini Donut
You want to mix together your sugar topping in either a brown paper bag, to shake your donuts, or into a shallow dish so you can plop them nice and hot into the sugar so that it melts, and sticks to your donut. A brown bag going to work best but it is not something everyone has one hand.
Start with your dry ingredients in your bowl. Give it a little stir to mix it together.
Mix in your wet ingredients.
Plug in your mini donut maker, to get it preheated. Make sure that you use non-stick spray to prevent your mini donuts from sticking.
Our Bella Mini Donut maker is a little rough around its finish but it is well used now, and no longer sitting around collecting dust in the cupboard as it used to years ago.
I pour my cinnamon sugar mini donut batter into a Ziploc bag to pipe it into my mini donut maker without making a mess. I have shared exactly how I make mini donuts no matter what flavor you make. This would be a great recipe to use with a batter dispenser as well.
As soon as you take your mini donuts out of the molds, place them right onto your sugar. If you have a brown bag with sugar, shake gently. If you have a bowl of sugar press them into the sugar slightly. Don’t press too hard or you’ll flatten them.
Set your mini donuts out on a cooling rack until you are ready to serve. Honestly though, warm sugar donuts are the best!
These are one of our favorite afternoon treats. But just have a few so you don’t ruin your appetite for supper.
