4.1 from 4 reviews

These homemade mini powdered sugar donuts are a delightful treat made from simple ingredients and baked to perfection. Light, fluffy, and coated generously with sweet powdered sugar, they are perfect for a comforting snack or breakfast indulgence. The recipe uses almond milk and a touch of cinnamon for a subtle warmth, while baking ensures a healthier, less oily alternative to traditional fried donuts.

  • Total Time: 23 minutes
  • Yield: 6 mini donuts

Ingredients

Dry Ingredients

  • 1 1/2 cups organic all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 cup organic cane sugar
  • 2 tsps baking powder
  • 1/2 tsp ground cinnamon (optional)
  • 1/2 tsp sea salt

Wet Ingredients

  • 2 large organic eggs, at room temperature
  • 1 cup almond milk
  • 2 tsps vanilla extract
  • 1/4 cup vegetable oil

Coating

  • 1-2 cups organic powdered sugar

Instructions

  1. Preheat and Prepare Pan: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and spray a mini donut baking pan with non-stick spray. This pan has 6 wells but you can use a standard donut pan if desired.
  2. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, sugar, cinnamon (if using), and sea salt until well combined.
  3. Add Wet Ingredients: Add the eggs, almond milk, vanilla extract, and vegetable oil to the dry ingredients. Mix with a wooden spoon until the batter is thick, smooth, and fully combined, about 1 to 2 minutes.
  4. Fill Donut Pan: Transfer the batter into a piping bag for easier handling. Pipe the batter into each donut well, filling them about 3/4 full to allow room for rising.
  5. Bake the Donuts: Bake in the preheated oven for 11 to 13 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the donuts comes out clean, indicating they are cooked through.
  6. Prepare Coating: While the donuts bake, place the powdered sugar in a large ziplock bag for coating.
  7. Cool and Coat: Remove the donuts from the oven and let them cool for 5 minutes in the pan before gently releasing them.
  8. First Sugar Coat: Immediately toss the warm donuts in the ziplock bag with powdered sugar to coat.
  9. Cool Completely: Place the powdered sugar-coated donuts on a wire cooling rack to cool completely.
  10. Second Sugar Coat: Once cooled, toss the donuts again in the powdered sugar for a second, thicker coating.
  11. Repeat: Continue this process until all donuts have been coated twice.
  12. Serve: Enjoy these fresh, light, and sweet mini powdered sugar donuts with your favorite coffee or tea. Bon Appetit!

Notes

  • Donuts are best eaten fresh but can be stored in an airtight container for up to 2 days.
  • For a dairy alternative, almond milk works beautifully, but any plant-based or regular milk can be used.
  • Using a piping bag helps fill the donut molds evenly and neatly.
  • Be careful not to overfill the donut wells to avoid overflow during baking.
  • If you want a richer flavor, sprinkle a little cinnamon sugar instead of plain powdered sugar.
  • For a gluten-free version, substitute all-purpose flour with a gluten-free flour blend.
