Instructions

Doughnuts:

    • Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
    • Lightly grease a mini doughnut pan with non-stick spray or butter.

  4. Combine Ingredients:
    • Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
  5. Fill the Pan:
    • Transfer the batter to a piping bag or a resealable plastic bag with the tip cut off.
    • Pipe the batter into the prepared mini doughnut pan, filling each mold about 2/3 full.
  6. Bake:
    • Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the doughnuts are lightly golden and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  7. Cool:
    • Allow the doughnuts to cool in the pan for a few minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Coating:

  1. Prepare the Coating:
    • In a small bowl, combine the granulated sugar and ground cinnamon.
