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 like to share our favorite recipes as we go along. 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 and collecting dust.
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. It 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 for 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: cutting the hole in my bag too big. This caused our mini donuts to have no holes and a few others 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.
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.
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.
