Baked Gingerbread Mini Donuts
Warm, comforting mini donuts made with gingerbread spices and baked to perfection.
Ingredients
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- ¼ cup granulated sugar
- ¼ cup brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- ½ teaspoon baking soda
- ½ teaspoon ground ginger
- ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
- ¼ teaspoon ground cloves
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- ½ cup milk
- ¼ cup vegetable oil
- ¼ cup molasses
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit (175 degrees Celsius). Grease a mini donut pan.
- In a large bowl, whisk together flour, granulated sugar, brown sugar, baking powder, baking soda, ginger, cinnamon, cloves, and salt.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together milk, egg, oil, and molasses.
- Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. Don't overmix, a few lumps are okay.
- Spoon the batter into the prepared donut pan, filling each cavity about 3/4 full.
- Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Let the donuts cool in the pan for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
- Dust with powdered sugar or drizzle with glaze (optional).
Notes
- For a richer flavor, you can use dark brown sugar instead of light brown sugar.
- If you don't have molasses, you can use honey or maple syrup instead.
- To make a simple glaze, whisk together 1 cup powdered sugar and 2-3 tablespoons of milk.
