Norpro Mini Donut Pan - Baked Donut Recipes
Tip: Use non-stick spray on pan, or donuts may stick. Even though it is a “non-stick” pan, it still needs a little help.

Baked Gingerbread Mini Donuts
Prep time: 5 mins Cook time: 10 mins Total time: 15 mins Serves: 12
Ingredients
1 cup flour
3/4 teaspoon baking powder
1/4 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon ginger
pinch of allspice
pinch of cloves
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup brown sugar, divided
1 egg
1/4 cup applesauce
2 tablespoons maple syrup
3 tablespoons milk, divided
4 tablespoons butter, divided
1/2 cup powdered sugar
Instructions
Preheat oven to 350. Mix all dry ingredients, using 1/4 cup brown sugar and setting the rest aside.
Whisk in moist ingredients, using 1 tablespoon milk and 2 tablespoons melted butter.
Pour batter into a gallon-sized plastic bag and cut the corner off. Pipe the batter into a greased mini-donut pan,
filling each donut space about 1/2 full (for me, this was about 22 mini donuts). Bake for about 7-8 minutes.
Remove from oven and take each donut out of the pan.
Melt 2 tablespoons butter with 1/4 cup brown sugar in a small saucepan over medium heat. Bring to a boil and
boil for about 2 minutes. Add 1 tablespoon milk and bring back to a boil. Add powdered sugar, using the last
tablespoon of milk to help thin out the frosting if needed. Keep over low heat (otherwise it will start to crystallize)
and dunk each mini donut into the frosting. Frosting should set almost immediately.

Sugar-Doated Mini Donuts
Adapted from the Norpro Recipe from the pan
Gluten, egg, dairy free
Makes 20 mini donuts
INGREDIENTS:
1/2 c. sorghum flour (I use Authentic Foods brand)
1/2 c. Brown rice flour (Authentic Foods)
1/4 c. potato starch (not flour!)
1/4 c. arrowroot powder
1/2 tsp xanthan gum
(OR 1 1/2 c. regular flour and omit xanthan gum)
2 tsp baking powder
1/2 c. brown sugar
1/4 tsp salt
1/4 tsp nutmeg
1/2 c. buttermilk (1/2 Tb apple cider vinegar + 1/2 c. non-dairy milk)
1 1/2 tsp Ener-G egg replacer + 2 Tbs warm water, mixed til frothy
1/4 c. coconut oil, melted
1/2 tsp vanilla extract
DIRECTIONS:
Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
Mix dry ingredients together until fully combined.
Make a well in the center of the bowl. Add all the remainder of wet ingredients and stir with a wooden spoon
until just incorporated.
Grease a Norpro mini donut pan.
Place 1/2 batter into a ziploc baggie. Cut the corner of one side to use as an opening. This part is important in
the shape of the donuts: Using one hand to firmly keep the dough flowing out of the hole, squirt the dough out in
a circle in the pan. The more intact the dough comes out, the better the results in the end.
Bake 8 minutes to 15 minutes. Allow to sit in the pan for 3 minutes after you take it out of the oven.
Fill a bigger ziploc baggie with either powdered sugar (1/2 c.) or cinnamon (1 Tb) and sugar (1/2 c.) mix. Place
4 donuts at a time into baggie while still warm and gently shake until all donuts are completely covered in a
topping.
