Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/3 cup granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup milk (any kind)
- 1 large egg
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
- 1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1 tablespoon ground cinnamon
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a mini muffin tin with butter or nonstick spray.
- In a bowl, whisk together flour, 1/3 cup sugar, baking powder, 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon, and salt.
- In another bowl, whisk milk, egg, vanilla, and 2 tablespoons of melted butter (slightly cooled).
- Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients. Stir gently until just combined; a few small lumps are fine. Do not overmix.
- Spoon the batter into the mini muffin cups, filling each about ¾ full.
- Bake for 8–10 minutes, or until the tops spring back when touched and a toothpick comes out clean.
- While still warm, dip each donut hole in the remaining melted butter, then roll in the cinnamon sugar mixture until evenly coated.
Notes
- Do not overmix the batter, as it can make the texture tough.
- For extra flavor, add a pinch of nutmeg to the batter.
- If you don’t have a mini muffin tin, use a regular one and bake 2–3 minutes longer.
