Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a donut pan.

Spoon the batter into the donut pan, filling each cavity about 3/4 full.
Bake for 8 minutes or until golden. Test with a toothpick for doneness.
Let cool in the pan for a few minutes before transferring to a wire rack.
Add toppings as desired, then enjoy!
