Are they not the most adorable thing you’ve ever seen? These cuties are a freezer essential in our home. If you can’t find the adorable mini donut maker you can always just use your waffle iron and I promise they taste the same {hehe}.
I have been eating these donuts all my life. And, now that I am cooking them for my own kids, I can hardly cook them fast enough. I always double the recipe and triple if you want to put some away in the freezer for a quick grab and go breakfast later in the month.
If you prefer chocolate donuts instead of vanilla just add in an additional 2 additional T. of sugar, 1/3 c. cocoa, and ½ t. cinnamon.
