1. You want to bake, but you're out of eggs.
2. The donut shop is closed.
3. You love all things mini!!
4. You don't feel like getting out your Kitchen-aid mixer.
5. THEY ARE SO CUTE!
7. Unexpected company is dropping by in 20 minutes and you have nothing to serve them.
8. You've given up fried foods, and you miss donuts most of all.
9. You own a mini muffin tin, but hate muffins.
10. Did I mention they're dipped in butter and cinnamon sugar?
It should come as no surprise that these were a huge hit. The batch of 24 didn't make it through the evening. To be fair, there were six of us chowing down...I promise Ryan and I didn't each eat a dozen! They are hard to resist, though, and pretty darn easy to pop into your mouth. The best part of all? They seriously taste like donuts! I shouted in excitement when my friend said 'hey these taste like donuts', before I told her what they were. I don't know what it is, but something about the texture and the taste is just spot-on. These come together so easily (too easily!) and with minimal ingredients, making them just the thing you need next time that donut craving strikes!
