One of my favorite things of fall is mini donuts at the fall fair! This is how my baked cinnamon-sugar mini donut recipe was inspired. They're so delicious they can't be good for you, I thought I'd come up with a recipe at home that is just as good but a little healthier.

Baked Cinnamon-Sugar Mini Donut Recipe
I've attempted making donuts at home before but I have to admit none have turned out this delicious. This recipe will give you 24 mini donuts that are baked to perfection. You can easily switch up the flavor by swapping out cinnamon for a favorite flavor like chai spice, pumpkin spice or even chocolate.
Baked Donut Ingredients
- 1/3 cup melted butter
- 1 teaspoon vanilla
- 1 egg
- 1/2 cup milk
- 1/2 cup sugar
- 1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- pinch salt
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
Baked Donut Instructions
- Combine wet ingredients and sugar in blender, using the mix setting to cream together
- Combine remaining ingredients in bowl, gradually add to the wet ingredients using the mix function to combine
- Fill each silicone mini donut mold 3/4 full, the recipe makes 24 mini donuts
- Bake 12-15 minutes at 400°F, or until toothpick inserted comes out clean
Quick tip – you can either spoon batter into the mold or use a plastic sandwich bag with a corner snipped to pipe the batter. I find this method is quicker, easier to portion and doesn't leave a big mess.
The contemporary design, featuring a two-tone finish of stainless steel and black is the perfect accent to modern kitchens. But the Braun PureMix with Smoothie 2 Go does more than just smoothies, the 670W of power is ready at the push of a button.
While the donuts bake it is the perfect time to prepare the powdered cinnamon-sugar to toss the donuts in warm from the oven.
Cinnamon-Sugar Ingredients

- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
Cinnamon-Sugar Directions
- Combine cinnamon and sugar in Smoothie 2 Go cup
