Mini Maple Donuts | Dessert Recipe | The Ultimate Chef

YIELD: 24 DONUTS

If anything can take me back to the donut shop as a kid, it’s these guys. These basic cake donuts have a hint of maple—not too cloying. The glaze also goes well with a variety of other desserts, such as the Devil’s Food Cake, Maple Cookies, or even the Classic Chocolate Chip Cookies.

Directions

Preheat oven to 325°F and place your oven rack in the middle of the oven.

Lightly grease a mini-size donut pan.

Combine all the ingredients through the salt into a medium mixing bowl and whisk until well combined.

Gradually add in the rest of the donut ingredients, in the order given, and mix well until no lumps remain.

You should end up with a tacky batter.

Fill the cups of the donut pan with batter.

Bake for 25 minutes.

Let cool completely and then glaze.

To make the glaze, simply whisk together all ingredients until smooth.

Cover cooled donuts completely with glaze and then place onto a wire rack to firm up.

Let glaze harden completely before serving.

Store in airtight container for up to 4 days.
