How to Make Mini Baked Donuts

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together the dry ingredients: 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour, ¾ cup granulated sugar, 2 teaspoons baking powder, ½ teaspoon baking soda, ½ teaspoon salt.
  3. In a small saucepan over medium-low heat, combine the wet ingredients: ½ cup unsweetened applesauce, ¼ cup milk (any kind), 2 large eggs, ⅓ cup melted Earth Balance buttery sticks (or vegan butter alternative). Whisk until the Earth Balance is completely melted and the mixture is smooth.
  4. The mixture should be lukewarm; you should be able to comfortably dip your finger in it. It should feel only slightly warm.
  5. Gently pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and mix until just combined. Do not overmix; a few lumps are okay.
  6. The batter should be soft and slightly sticky.
  7. Using a tablespoon or a small cookie scoop, fill each cavity of your ungreased nonstick mini-donut pan about ¾ full.
  8. Smooth the tops of the dough with your fingers for even baking and a prettier finish (optional).
  9. Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Donuts should be lightly golden brown on the edges but not overly browned on top.
  10. Carefully invert the hot pan onto a wire rack or cutting board to release the mini donuts. Let them cool in the pan for a few minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
