100 Mini donuts

When life gives you pumpkins, you make pumpkin donuts!

Guys, these donuts are amazing!! As one of my friends would describe them, they are a delicacy. They are the perfect little bite (about twice the size of a quarter).

I’ve been making these mini donuts for a couple of years. The first time I made them was for a friendsgiving event and they were a huge hit. And since then, I’ve been making them every year. Last year they were gone even before the dessert was served and I made about 200 mini donuts!! lol! This recipe makes about 100 mini donuts. Yes I know, you’ll be like- wow that’s a lot of donuts…. and it is a lot of donuts but they are so tiny that they’ll be gone before you know it.

Now that the holidays are approaching, you can easily make these donuts and freeze them. The night before your party, just transfer them to the fridge to thaw out (they will thaw out within 5 minutes- they are tiny!)

The day of the party, you can just brush them with melted butter and dip them in a cinnamon sugar coating. I guarantee you that they will be a huge hit!

Pour the batter into a large piping bag (or in a ziploc bag and cut off a corner!) and squeeze it into the donut mold. Smooth the tops with a moistened finger (water).

Can they be made into regular size donuts? How long would you cook them?

  Absolutely ! Bake for 15 to 17 minutes, or until a cake tester inserted into the center of the donut comes out clean. Happy baking !!

If I don’t want the pumpkin flavor what can I substitute? I just want a basic donut, with the cinnamon sugar on top.
