Mini Pistachio Almond Donuts

February 17, 2013 by Courtney 14 Comments

Mini Pistachio Almond Donuts - Taste like mini petit four donuts!

I am very sorry if you’re still one of the few trying to stick to their New Year’s Resolutions to lose weight because these babies are ADDICTIVE. I’ve become slightly obsessed with my Wilton mini donut pan (as you can see from these Samoa donuts) and decided to try another of my favorite flavor profiles – pistachio almond! I think pistachio and almond taste similar anyway so why not double the fun. These donuts remind me of petit fours because of the almond flavor and the glaze. Mmm…

Mini Pistachio Almond Donuts - Baked! These little babies are SO easy. I can’t stop thinking of fun combinations (or even just plain vanilla with a colored glaze and sprinkles for a party). Now, you do have to realize that they’re not going to come flying out of your oven tasting like Krispy Kremes. They have a more “cake-like” texture but boy are they still delish! This is my favorite flavor combo by far.

I think these would be perfect for St. Patrick’s Day too!

    Looks so deeeelicious! I would so want to try this but I don’t think they sell pistachio flavoured jello around here in Sydney 🙁 Beautiful combination of flavours though by the sounds of it. Might just use some pistachio paste to flavour the icing or something then!

    Love the little Doughnuts with the idea of pistachio icing. I’m into Orange & Pistachio with my biscuits at the moment and guess it would be a great flavour for these doughnuts. They look easy enough to make.
    Might just have a go some time soon. Thanks

    I love it! So cute too. How many mini cake pans do you use. It seems that the mini Wilton pan is so tiny that you’d spend all evening baking. Anywho, I featured your recipe on my blog: http://blog.shopdirtylaundry.com/posts/2013/2/26/123-too-cute-tuesday.html > ENJOY!
