Frosted mini sugar donuts
Out of all the baked donuts I’ve made, my favorite has been the sugar donut muffins. I’ve tried really hard to turn the batter into mini donuts, but these donut muffins seem to have an identity crisis. They bake and pop out easily as muffins, but they just don’t seem to want to conform to a donut shape.
Usually, I have no problem using my donut pan*, but these babies just don’t pop out easily. I’ve tried greasing, not greasing, baking longer, the results are still the same. I overbaked this batch in an attempt to make them come out easier.
I guess I will have to continue to search for a baked donut batter that I can successfully bake into mini donut shapes. I do love how these taste though, but I guess they are destined to stay as donut muffins.
A thick layer of frosting helped cover the uneven, hole filled tops of these donuts. I really like pastel spring/summer colors, so I made some frosting and added the slightest drop of food coloring.

I don’t think you’ll be able to roll these into donut hols or balls because the batter is thin and sticky. It’s not really a dough batter. More like cake batter.
But if you have a mini muffin pan, that should be fine. In fact, these work best in mini muffin pans.
I got my mini donut pan from Amazon. It was about $10 and has come in handy. Everyone always likes the mini donuts.
They’re adorable! I’m going to try them tonight, except i don’t have a donut pan… oy. Would they be able to hold up if rolled into donut holes/balls? Or should I use a mini-muffin pan…?
These are SO cute, Kirbie!!!! And they look mighty delicious! I’m going to have to try this… I just need to get a donut pan LOL
