Instructions

Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and lightly grease a mini donut pan.
In a bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, cinnamon, and salt.
In a separate bowl, mix the milk, vanilla extract, vinegar, and oil until smooth.
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry and stir until just combined. Do not overmix.
Spoon the batter into the donut pan, filling each mold about ¾ full.
Bake for 12 to 14 minutes, or until the donuts spring back lightly when touched.
Let the donuts cool in the pan for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
In a small bowl, mix the sugar and cinnamon for the coating.
Brush each cooled donut lightly with melted butter or coconut oil.
Dip the donuts into the cinnamon sugar mixture until fully coated. Serve and enjoy!

Notes

Use a gluten-free flour blend for a gluten-free version.

Add ¼ tsp pumpkin spice for a seasonal twist.

Replace the coating with melted chocolate for a dessert variation.

Store in an airtight container at room temperature for 2 days or refrigerate for up to 5 days.

Reheat gently to maintain softness; avoid overheating.
