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.

Making Mini donuts

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.

Making Mini donuts

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.

How to make Mini Donuts:

If you are wondering how to make doughnuts in a doughnut maker check out these post where I go into more details about how I use my Bella Donut maker. They are super simple to use.

The first step is to make sure that you use a non-stick spray to cover both the top and the bottom plate or you’re donuts will stick. You may also need to reapply at some point. I don’t usually for just one batch (meaning I don’t double the recipe).

Next tip: Do not over fill your donut mold.

Mini Donut Recipes

I have a mini donut maker that I use to make our mini donuts, because it’s super easy to use. But, not all these recipes are for it. Though I am going to be trying some of these baked mini donut recipes in my donut maker.

Up first we have these four delicious donuts:

Peanut Butter Mini Donuts

There is nothing quite like breakfast that should be dessert, and that’s what these are, or at least that is what we did. A special breakfast now and then is just what we all need. These simple peanut butter mini donuts are simple to make, and when dipped in a little jam, or maybe a little Nutella, are that much more delicious.

The first thing I have to say about making these peanut butter mini donuts is that if you are making them for more than two people, or even just for two people, you are going to want to double this recipe. My three kids devoured these and were looking for more! I had a small bite of one of one and that was it, they took the rest, and that little bite was not enough.

Let’s make simple mini donuts with our mini donut maker.

What you need:

  • 1/4 cup peanut butter
  • 1/4 cup sugar
  • 1/3 cup + 1 tbsp milk
  • 1 tbsp vegetable oil
  • 1/2 tsp vanilla
  • 1 egg
  • 1 cup flour
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • 1/4 tsp salt

How to make Peanut Butter Mini Donuts:

Cream together the peanut butter, sugar, and egg. Slowly mix in the remaining ingredients one at a time.

You can check out my simple donut recipe to check out how I fill my Ziploc bag quickly and with no mess. I also shared how big not to cut the tip off, so this time I made sure I didn’t do that again. Live and learn people.

Peanut Butter Mini Donuts

Nice a small. The original cut, too big of a hole, was mistake number one. Mistake number two was using cheap Ziploc bags, I have since been buying only Ziploc bags, there are times when cheaper prices mean cheaper product and just aren’t worth the trouble. It lead to a blow out the side. I simply dropped this bag into a better brand baggie and continued on my way. Lesson learned, lesson shared!

See how nicely it fits into the mold when the end is cut, and not too big. My mini donut maker has two lights on the top, one for when it is heated and ready to go, the other for when the donuts should be cooked. Not all doughnut makers are the same, read your instruction manual to see how yours works. That leads to pretty, tasty mini donuts.
