Baked Mini Coffee Doughnuts with Cocoa Glaze
Donut recipe or Doughnut recipe? I don’t know which one is correct, but today we are going with donut.
My Pinterest feed has been tempting me with donuts for months now. This pin was the last straw.
I had to bake some donuts myself. This post contains affiliate links, so we can make an obscene amount of mini donuts.
I ordered myself a mini donut pan because I figured mini donuts would be safer than the large version.
I had no idea how small this mini pan would be, but it’s adorable and I love it. It makes tiny bite-sized donuts that are perfect for everyone.
I modified the recipe from the pin above. I love the way they turned out, and I look forward to trying more flavor combinations.

I also tried to make a vanilla glaze using vanilla instant pudding. I used 1 Tbsp vanilla instant pudding powder and 1 Tbsp of coconut milk. It was more like a frosting than a glaze. It was not very pretty on the donuts, but they tasted good.

Every time I see homemade doughnuts like these, it makes me want to run out and buy a doughnut pan. I think the mini’s are a good idea, too. Less guilt if I end up eating more than one! LOL
That was exactly my line of thinking, Nicole! 😉 They are like Munchkin size.
Yum love that these use Greek yogurt and coffee! The smaller size would have me eating a ton of these. lol

I don’t think a smaller size donut would make any difference in how much I’d eat… I like that these are baked, not fried.
These look tasty! I love doughnuts, and the coffee flavor would be a great thing to try.
