Mini Baked Samoa Donuts

I recently wrote a blog post about how I photograph pics for this blog – and I needed something to make so I could take pictures of my set. So, these babies were born. Girl Scout Cookies are totally fabulous aren’t they? Too bad they’re not around all year long (or maybe that’s a good thing). Anyway, my husband hates coconut (I know.. I know..) so there was no chance he was picking Samoas when he picked up Girl Scout Cookies. I knew I’d have to get creative if I wanted that absolutely delicious combo of caramel, coconut, and chocolate. I could make my own Samoa cookies but my friend Naomi did that really well.

Wilton Mini Donut Pan!

I recently picked up this super cute mini donut pan and really wanted to use it! You see where this is going…

How to make mini donuts!

After you make the batter (full recipe below), you pour it into a frosting piping bag (or a Ziplock) and snip the corner (you can spoon it in but it’s just messier). Fill it halfway (they puff up). Easy peasy.

Baked Samoa Doughnuts! Ready for their chocolate drizzle bath! Here they are dunked in caramel and topped with toasted coconut. Not done yet though! They’re ready for their chocolate drizzle bath. I used a 60% cacao chocolate but you could use anything you want: milk, semi-sweet, etc.

Adding the chocolate drizzle to baked Samoa Mini Donuts!Shall we see one close-up? Yes, we shall…

    These look dangerous (in the most delicious way, of course)! I missed out on buying girl scout cookies this year so I am looking for homemade ways to fill the void.

    They look just as good as the Mini Pistachio Almond Donuts. I shared them on my blog: http://blog.shopdirtylaundry.com/posts/2013/2/26/123-too-cute-tuesday.html
