Get ready to indulge in the warmth and comfort of homemade doughnuts. These mini treats are baked, which means they are a bit lighter than their fried counterparts, but just as delicious!
Ingredients
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon

Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and lightly grease a mini doughnut pan.
- In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, 1/2 cup sugar, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and 1 teaspoon cinnamon.
- In another bowl, beat the egg, then mix in the milk, melted butter, and vanilla extract until well combined.
- Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, stirring until just combined. Do not overmix.
- Scoop the batter into the mini doughnut pan, filling each cavity about 2/3 full.
- Bake for 8-10 minutes, or until the doughnuts are golden and a toothpick inserted comes out clean.
- While the doughnuts are baking, prepare the cinnamon-sugar coating by mixing 1/4 cup sugar and 1 tablespoon cinnamon in a shallow bowl.

- Roll the warm doughnuts in the cinnamon-sugar mixture until coated completely.
