Prep Time: 20 minutes

Cook Time: 5 minutes

Yield: about 4 dozen mini donuts

Ingredients

1/2 c. butter

1 c. Speculoos spread

2/3 c. brown sugar

1 egg

1/4 c. applesauce

1/3 c. sour cream

1 tsp. vanilla

1 1/2 tsp. baking powder

1 1/2 tsp. baking soda

1/2 tsp. cornstarch

1 tsp. cinnamon

1/2 tsp. salt

2 1/2 c. flour

2/3 c. whipping cream

8 oz. Candiquik, melted

1/2 c. miniature M&M's

Instructions

1. Cream the butter, Speculoos and sugar. Add the egg, sour cream, applesauce, and vanilla and beat again. Sift together the baking powder, baking soda, cornstarch, cinnamon, salt, and flour. Add the flour and whipping cream alternately to the butter mixture until all has been incorporated.
2. Spoon the batter into a large ziplock bag and cut one corner off. Use the bag to fill the cavities of a mini donut pan. Bake at 425* for 5-6 minutes. Let cool in the pan 4-5 minutes before removing to a wire rack to cool completely.
3. In a microwave safe bowl, melt the Candiquik slowly. Stir every 30 seconds. Dip the tops of the donuts in the chocolate and place M&M's on top. Store in a covered container.
