Mini Lemon Donuts

These donuts are not only simple and delicious but they are cute too!  Everything is cuter when they are in a mini version right? 🙂 These lemon donuts are made with a lemon cake mix that helps this recipe come together quickly for the mornings that you just don’t have a lot of time.   I made these donuts with my mini donut pan that I just love.

SIMPLE INGREDIENTS. BIG FLAVOR.

You can easily swap out the lemon cake mix for one of your other favorite flavors like I did with my mini pumpkin donuts or our funfetti cake mix donuts!  These mini lemon donuts are so fun for the kids and would make a great brunch item. 

CAN I FREEZE DONUT BATTER FOR LATER USE?

YES! Just like when we freeze our cupcake batter, you can freeze the donut batter to be used for a later time. You can also prepare the mini donuts and then freeze them before adding the icing.. Whip up a fresh batch of frosting or roll them in some sugar for a quick snack.
