My sweet tooth kicked in this morning and these delightful mini donuts were the result. They have a wonderful texture and have just the right amount of sweetness, for me at least.
You can easily lighten these baked donuts up too, use light sour cream or I would even consider adding 1/4 cup unsweetened applesauce and 1/4 cup oil in place of the 1/2 cup oil. I thought about doing it when I started out but really hate to mess around much with a recipe when I make it the first time. I love the molasses and raspberry combination here also, they pair together beautifully. I also used white wheat flour in place of all purpose, if that is all you have it will work fine.
