My sweet husband bought me a mini donut pan for my birthday this year.
Of course that meant I had to make donuts for my family.
Twist my arm.
Aren't they cute??
I have a soft spot for mini versions of things. Maybe that's why I love tiny babies so much??
To be honest, these taste more like adorable donut shaped cupcakes than regular donuts. I think it's because they are baked not fried. Either way they are delish - and let's face it, cupcakes and donuts are about the same on the scale of healthy breakfast foods.
Add some pastel sprinkles and make these for Easter this year!
Steph's Springtime Cocoa Fudge Donuts
1 cup sugar
2 tsp baking powder
1 tsp baking soda
1 tsp vanilla
2 1/2 cups flour
1/2 cup cocoa
1 cup buttermilk
3 eggs
4 Tbs melted butter
Mix dry ingredients in one bowl and the wet ingredients in another bowl. Slowly add the dry to the wet and beat until well mixed.
Grease a donut pan and fill halfway with batter. Bake at 400* for about 10 min.
Cool in pan for a few minutes before removing and frosting.
Fudge Glaze
3 Tbs melted butter
1/3 cup cocoa
2 cups powdered sugar
1 tsp vanilla
1/4 cup milk
Mix together first 4 ingredients and add milk gradually until it reaches desired consistency. Dip tops of donuts into glaze and add sprinkles if desired.

These look really good
I love the sprinkles on top - very cute
And I also prefer them baked
These look so good and easy. They don't seem to need as many ingredients as a lot of other donut recipes. I'd love it if you stopped by my monthly link up to share these.
