My kids love doughnuts. What kid doesn’t, right? And while I don’t mind giving them the occasional sugary sweet, I prefer to give them foods that are healthy. Making our own spice cake donuts is fun, especially with the Mini Donut Maker.
Not only could I give my kids healthy donuts, but I could let them help me make them! They love helping in the kitchen, and will almost always eat something if they helped make it. I typically use this recipe for cake, but donuts are more fun. 😉
After 4-5 minutes, I had these…
OMY. As in, Oh My Yum! Someone else liked them, too. LOL
It’s a good thing I made plenty!
Both kids thoroughly enjoyed them, and even “snuck” a few extras. Make your own mini donuts with a mini donut maker!

I loved how easy the mini donut maker was to use. Just fill the cavity, close the lid, and wait. I did have to use my silicone oven mitt to open the donut maker after it was heated, just to be safe. The non-stick surface wiped clean with no effort on my part. The little fork thing that is included, to lift the donuts out, was perfectly sized.
Those sound great, I would love to try the donut maker!
I would use almond flour and some honey (or stevia) and eggs, coconut oil, and spices. This would be good!
Thanks!
Looks like they turned out quite nice!
My family love donuts! These look so good! I must buy this machine 🙂
Those sound amazing!
They were demonstrating these baby cake makers at the grocery store on Saturday, and I got a sample doughnut. They look neat, I’m just not sure I need something that will make me make sweets more often.
You can’t get much easier than that! I love them.
