These Mini Cinnamon Sugar Pumpkin Spice Donuts are the perfect festive treat. They’re light-weight, oven-baked, and only one bowl required. After the donuts are baked, they are coated in melted butter and tossed in cinnamon and sugar.
These donuts compare to the texture of a cupcake, or muffin. They’re mini sized, so you can eat a couple and not feel guilty afterwards!
The best part? These donuts are oven-baked, so there’s no messy frying situation going on.

Why this recipe works

- One bowl recipe.
- Baked, not fried!
- Classic cinnamon and sugar coating.
I finally got around to buying a mini doughnut pan. Now that I have it, I can’t believe I went so long without one. I went to a dozen (yes, a dozen) different stores before being able to find it. I guess mini treats are on trend right now! I put the pan to good use this weekend and made these soft bite-sized Cinnamon Sugar Donuts.
When I used to think about making donuts, I would get intimidated. I thought it would be complicated to make the right batter consistency, and get complicated and messy. Since purchasing this donut pan, I’ve had a change in heart. Seriously!!! It’s so easy 😀
Tip: No piping bag? No problem! Use two small spoons to gently scoop the batter around the donut pan! Grease around the pan for easier cleanup afterwards 👍
