Overview
A compact electric mini donut maker from Betty Crocker that bakes 7 donuts at a time on nonstick plates, aimed at quick homemade donuts without frying.
This is a baked, not fried, mini donut maker, so it skips the oil and mess of frying while producing donuts sized closer to a small cookie than a bakery donut. It comes with a piping bag and nozzles for filling the batter and a spatula for decorating, which suits families making donuts together rather than anyone after full-size results.
- Nonstick baking plates for 7 mini donuts per batch
- Cool touch handle with power and temperature indicator lights
- Includes piping bag, nozzles, and spatula
- 1-year limited warranty
Who it's for
Good for parents or kids doing a baking activity together, or anyone wanting a quick batch of small treats without frying oil. Not suited to someone expecting full-size, bakery-style donuts.
What buyers say
From Amazon customer reviews.
Buyers who used it with kids called it a fun, easy activity, and several found that switching to a squeeze bottle for the batter reduced the mess a spoon caused. More than one reviewer noted the donuts come out smaller than expected, and a few found the listed bake time led to overcooked, dry results until they cut it down to around two minutes.
Strengths and trade-offs
Drawn from this product's published specifications.
- Bakes instead of fries, less oil and mess
- Makes 7 donuts per batch in a few minutes
- Includes piping bag and spatula for filling and decorating
- Cool touch handle
- Donuts run smaller than pictured
- Suggested bake time can overcook the batter

Performance notes
The machine has a power-on light and a separate temperature-ready indicator, and getting the timing right matters: several reviewers found the manufacturer's suggested cook time overbaked the donuts and had better results cutting it down to around two minutes. Using a squeeze bottle instead of a spoon to fill the wells also made a noticeable difference in mess and consistency.
