Instructions

Move your oven rack to the middle position and preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Use a pastry brush to lightly grease the mini muffin pan with about 1 tablespoon of the blood orange olive oil or simply use cooking spray.
In a bowl, mix the room-temperature egg, blood orange-fused olive oil, sour cream , pure vanilla extract and granulated sugar. In a separate bowl, whisk together the baking soda, flour, salt and cinnamon. Use a spatula or large spoon to combine and mix the ingredients of the two bowls. Use a small cookie scoop or tablespoon to add about 1 tablespoon of the batter into each muffin cup.
Bake for approximately 10 minutes or until the donuts are lightly golden in color and the tops are slightly springy when touched. Allow the donuts to cool in the pan for 5 minutes and then transfer one to a wire rack. It will take the donuts 10-15 minutes to cool completely.
While the donuts are cooling, prepare the cinnamon-sugar coating. In a small bowl, melt the butter, Combine the remaining cinnamon and sugar in another bowl. Once the donuts have cooled, dip each one first in the melted butter and then in the cinnamon-sugar coating. Place on a serving platter and repeat.
Enjoy with a cup of coffee, tea or a cold glass of milk.

Notes

To make this recipe with nutmeg, use 1/2 to 3/4 teaspoon of cinnamon and 1/4 teaspoon freshly grated nutmeg in the donut mix. Use 1 1/2 teaspoons of cinnamon and 1/2 teaspoon fresh grated nutmeg in the cinnamon-sugar coating.
Feel free to use a lemon- or orange-fused olive oil. If you can’t find a citrus-fused oil for this recipe, do not fret. The Snickerdoodle Donuts are delicious when using vegetable oil as well.
Add orange zest to your batter and the cinnamon-sugar base if you’d like.
