A tender, buttery, vanilla cake doughnut enveloped by toasted coconut.. Who could ask for more?
Preheat oven to 325°F. Lightly grease a mini muffin or mini doughnut pan with cooking spray or vegetable shortening.
In a large bowl, beat together sugar and butter till creamy. Add egg and mix.
In a small bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda and salt. Pour egg mixture and stir to combine. Pour in buttermilk and vanilla extract.
Divide batter evenly into muffing/doughnut cups, filling each about 3/4 full. Bake for 8–9 minutes, until tops are dry and spring back when lightly touched. A toothpick inserted into the center should come out clean to test for doneness.
Remove doughnuts from the pan and cool on a wire rack.
Put sweetened coconut in a single layer on a baking sheet. Bake at 350°F for 4-5 minutes, watching closely, as they can burn quickly.
Pulse toasted coconut in a food processor till fine, but not powdery.
Mix powdered sugar and water to create a watery glaze. Quickly and completely dip doughnuts into the glaze, letting the excess drip off.
Dip all sides into coconut mixture.
Enjoy!

So I went out and purchased a mini doughnut pan after I spotted this recipe…glad I did! These were great and so easy to make. (I subbed and used whole wheat flour – still delish) 
Just finished making these and they are wonderful. Easy to make and taste fantastic. Thanks for posting, will definitely make again and again!!

Ladies, you are welcome! Have a mini muffin pan? This recipe will work in a pinch; however, I’m smitten by the cuteness of a mini doughnut….

This is the only recipe that has made me think I just might need to purchase a doughnut pan! You also just gave me a serious craving for brisket on Kaiser roll! Skilz!
