Mini Sweet Potato Donuts with Maple Glaze

Ingredients

Donuts

  • 6 tbl butter, softened
  • 1/2 c sugar
  • 1 1/2 cups flour
  • 2 1/4 tsps baking powder
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 1/2 tsp cinnamon
  • 1 cup milk
  • 1/2 cup mashed sweet potato (canned or bake your own and mash)

Glaze

  • 2 cups powdered sugar
  • 2 tbls maple syrup
  • Splash of milk

Directions

  1. Tools Needed: A Donut Baker
  2. Preheat cake donut maker (or use a cake pan for the oven).
  3. Combine butter and sugar in a large bowl and mix well with a wooden spoon. Add in flour, baking powder, salt, and cinnamon; stir to combine. Then add milk and mashed sweet potatoes to the mixture and mix well with wooden spoon.
  4. For the glaze: Combine powdered sugar and syrup in a small bowl. Mix well. Add milk by the teaspoon full until the glaze is just barely thin enough to dip your donuts (probably 2-3 tsps at the most)
  5. Fill the pre-heated donut maker with the batter and allow to cook for 3-5 minutes (or as directed by your machine). Take out of pan carefully, as they are extremely hot. Let cool slightly and then dip in glaze.
