Coffee & Mini Donuts Recipe

I'm not going to lie to you...I didn't make this coffee. In fact I don't even like coffee. But the vast majority of you out there love it & lets face it what pairs better with teeny donuts than a cup of joe. 

So down to Starbucks I went & ordered a cup of coffee for the sake of this post. It was a funny story actually, me ordering this coffee. As I approached the counter I realized I had never ordered coffee before (do you count Strawberry & Cream Frappachinos? If so then I take that back) & wasn't sure if I had to give any special instructions. So I backed away from the counter called a friend & while they cracked up on the other end I realized legit all you have to say is "a cup of coffee please". Not so difficult, eh? 

p.s. recipe look familiar? Yes, I just shared this same recipe earlier this week but like I mentioned in that post this recipe makes so many donuts that I just had to find another use for them!
