🗒️ Instructions

Our mixers can take the morning off for this recipe– you don’t need one here!

1. Mix Ingredients –  Combine milk, sour cream, oil, egg and brown sugar in a large bowl. Then add in flour, cinnamon, nutmeg, baking powder and salt to the bowl until everything gets combined!
2. Pour batter into the pan – You can either pour the mixture with a spoon and carefully fill each cavity (the batter is runny enough so that this isn’t too difficult). Alternatively, you can put the batter in a ziplock bag, cut the tip of the corner off and then squeeze the batter into each donut hole.
3. Bake and Cool – These donuts cook super quick but make sure you give them time to cool down before adding the maple glaze.
4. Make the Maple Glaze– All you have to do is mix all the ingredients in a bowl and set aside!
5. Glaze the donuts – Dip donuts into the glaze and enjoy!
