Gosh, I love donuts.
Those warm, flaky, tender pieces of fried dough that come right off the assembly line at Krispy Kreme" Heaven. But have you ever tried to make those donuts"
NOT heaven.

Make these. These little donut holes are made in a mini-muffin tin. There's no rolling of the dough and certainly no frying. It's as easy as 1-2-3 and then you can pop them in your mouth faster than you can drive to Krispy Kreme.
A cinnamon-sugar cake donut in mini-muffin form, these are a perfect mini sweet treat for morning coffee. Oh -- and do not skip the cinnamon sugar coating -- it absolutely makes these. Happy National Donut Day!
