How to Make Sweet Mini Donut Bites

Preheat to 350°F and lightly grease a mini donut pan.
In a bowl, whisk together flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt until evenly mixed, about 30 seconds.
Add milk, egg, melted butter, and vanilla extract to the dry mix; stir until smooth, about 20 seconds.
Spoon or pipe batter into each cavity, filling two-thirds full; bake for 8–10 minutes.
In a shallow bowl, whisk together granulated sugar and ground cinnamon until evenly blended.
Transfer warm donut bites to the bowl and gently toss to coat with the sweet mixture.
Place coated donut bites on a wire rack for 5 minutes to set the sugar shell.
