Mini Waffle Donuts

Mini waffle donuts combine the crisp edges and golden color of waffles with the sweet, soft doughnut-like interior. The dough is spiced with cinnamon and nutmeg, then cooked in a waffle iron to form bite-sized ring-shaped treats. They are coated in melted butter and cinnamon sugar, creating a sweet and crunchy coating that complements the fluffy interior. These are great for breakfast, snacks, or casual get-togethers.

Description

The batter includes sugar, baking powder, salt, nutmeg, cinnamon, eggs, milk, melted butter, and flour, mixed into a thick and sticky consistency. Spoonfuls of this batter are cooked in a preheated waffle iron for about three minutes until golden brown, forming small doughnut shapes with waffle texture.

Once cooked, the warm mini waffle donuts are dipped in melted butter and then rolled in a cinnamon and sugar mixture, giving a flavorful, slightly crunchy coating. The spices in the batter and topping add a warm, aromatic note characteristic of cinnamon pastries.

After cooling on a rack, these treats can be stored in an airtight container for up to three days and reheated briefly in the microwave to restore softness and warmth. This makes them a convenient make-ahead option for quick snacks or breakfast additions.

Ingredients

Servings
  • 1 cup sugar
  • 4 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon nutmeg
  • 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
  • 2 egg
  • 1/4 cup butter unsalted, melted
  • 1 cup milk
  • 3 cups flour

For the topping:

  • 3 teaspoons cinnamon
  • 1 cup white sugar
  • 1/2 cup butter melted

Instructions

  1. In a large bowl mix the sugar, baking powder, salt and nutmeg. 
  2. Add the eggs, milk and melted butter. Beat well.
  3. Stir in the 3 cups of flour, mixing well until it's thoroughly combined. You are going to have thick, sticky batter. 
  4. Preheat your waffle griddle. 
  5. Place the batter in the middle of each waffle part (some waffle makers will have 2 or 4). You can do large or small doughnuts. 
  6. Cook for 3 minutes until golden brown. 
  7. Remove the doughnuts from the waffle iron and place on a cooling rack. 
  8. Combine the white sugar and cinnamon for the topping. 
  9. Dip the waffle in butter, shake off, then dip into the cinnamon sugar mixture. 
  10. Set back onto the rack and continue with the other doughnuts until finished. A little side note: 5-10 seconds in the microwave reheats these up perfectly and you'd never know they weren't fresh! 
  11. Store (as if you are going to have any left) in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
