Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups (250 grams) all-purpose flour
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 3/4 cup (150 grams) granulated sugar
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 3/4 cup (180 ml) milk (whole milk preferred)
  • 2 large eggs (room temperature)
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/4 cup (60 grams) unsalted butter, melted
  • Gel food coloring (red, blue, yellow, green)
  • Optional: sprinkles for serving
  • Optional: powdered sugar for dusting

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease your mini donut pan lightly with butter or non-stick spray to prevent sticking.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together 2 cups (250 g) all-purpose flour, 2 teaspoons baking powder, 3/4 cup (150 g) granulated sugar, and 1/2 teaspoon salt until evenly combined with no lumps.
  3. In a separate bowl, whisk 3/4 cup (180 ml) milk, 2 large eggs (room temperature), 1 teaspoon vanilla extract, and 1/4 cup (60 g) melted unsalted butter until smooth.
  4. Slowly pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients, stirring gently with a spatula until just combined. Do not overmix; lumps are okay.
  5. Divide the batter evenly into 4 small bowls. Add a drop or two of gel food coloring to each bowl (red, blue, yellow, green). Stir gently to swirl the colors without fully blending them.
  6. Using a small spoon or piping bag, drop alternating colored batters into each donut mold, layering colors slightly to create the swirl. Fill each cavity about 3/4 full.
  7. Bake for 12-15 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into a donut hole comes out clean and the tops spring back lightly when pressed.
  8. Remove from the oven and let the donut holes cool in the pan for 5 minutes. Then transfer them to a cooling rack to cool completely.

Notes

Do not overmix the batter to keep donut holes soft and fluffy. Use gel food coloring for vibrant colors and fold gently to maintain swirl patterns. Check baking at 12 minutes to avoid drying out. Grease pan well to prevent sticking. Mini muffin pans can be used as a substitute for mini donut pans.
