Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Grease a mini muffin tin with baking spray. Mix the flour with the baking powder and salt in a medium-sized bowl, set aside
- In a separate bowl, mix in the cooled melted butter with the vanilla and egg. Whisk in the sugar and milk until combined.
- Add the wet mixture to dry and mix until there are no dry lumps, do not overmix. Fold in the coconut.
- Fill the mini muffin tins halfway up. Bake for 6-7 minutes until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Turn out onto a wire rack to cool.
Vanilla Glaze:
- While donuts are cooling, make the glaze by whisking the powdered sugar, vanilla, and milk together until smooth and runny.
- Using two fork or your fingers, dip each donut hole until fully coated. Place the dipped donuts back onto the wire rack.
- Repeat and dip the donuts again in the glaze using it all. Immediately after the second dunking, top with either more toasted coconut or plain shredded coconut. Serve and enjoy!

Notes
- If you want a more potent coconut flavor you can swap out the vanilla in the donuts or glaze for coconut extract.
- You can easily double this recipe to make more.
- We like to use regular coconut and toasted coconut as toppings, you can do both or just one.
- These can be frozen, see my tips above.
