Notes
Nutritional values may vary and are meant to be a guide. They are based off the unfrosted donuts.
Pan variations
Bake time is dependent on the size pan used. For a standard donut pan the time is 10-12 minutes per batch.
For a smaller mini donut pan it is 8-10 minutes per batch.
Muffin Tin baking
If you do not have a donut pan, you can bake these in a muffin tin. Simply grease the muffin tin wells and bake for 10-12 minutes. Once done and cooled, remove muffins. If you want a little something extra, roll muffins in a mixture of 1 tsp. of cinnamon, and 1/2 cup of white sugar, or enjoy plain.
Freezing
These donuts freeze very well when baked and kept plain. Simply bake, allow them to cool and add them to an airtight container or plastic zippered freezer bag. Freeze, and consume within 30 days.
To enjoy, thaw, or warm in the microwave to preference.
