Ingredients
Scale
1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1/2 cup granulated sugar
1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
1/2 cup milk
1/4 cup melted butter
1 large egg
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/4 cup maple syrup
2 tablespoons butter, melted (for glaze)
1/2 cup powdered sugar (for glaze)
2 tablespoons maple syrup (for glaze)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a mini donut pan.
In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, salt, cinnamon, and nutmeg.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the milk, melted butter, egg, vanilla extract, and 1/4 cup maple syrup.
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and mix until just combined. Do not overmix.
Spoon or pipe the batter into the prepared mini donut pan, filling each cavity about two-thirds full.
Bake for 8-10 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Let the donuts cool in the pan for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
While the donuts are cooling, prepare the glaze. In a small bowl, whisk together the melted butter, powdered sugar, and 2 tablespoons maple syrup until smooth.
Once the donuts are completely cool, dip the tops into the maple glaze.
Allow the glaze to set before serving.
Notes
For a richer maple flavor, you can add an extra teaspoon of maple extract to the batter.
If you don’t have a mini donut pan, you can bake these in mini muffin tins, but the cooking time may vary slightly.
These donuts are best enjoyed fresh, but can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature for up to two days.
Feel free to add a sprinkle of chopped pecans or walnuts on top of the glaze for extra texture.
