The plan was not to spend the day indoors making Baked Mini Donuts with 2 rambuncious children. But after the 75th reading of “If you give a Dog a Donut” it was only a matter of time that the girls would request Donuts.
I had no idea how to make Baked Mini Donuts, nor did I ever plan on making them. You guys! This is Canada. You want a donut, you drive 5 minutes to your local Tim Hortons. But of course, the whole process of baking donuts if just as fun as eating them. So off we went, filling up an entire afternoon making Donuts.
Found the cutest of pans for mini Donuts which actually included a Baked Mini Donut Recipe. So rather than exhausting myself in searching out the best, yet easiest recipe on Pinterest, I too this as a sign. I ran with the recipe on the back of the box.
