Mini Sour Cream Doughnut Muffins

Kids love to try food, but sometimes the normal size can seem so overwhelming for them. Sometimes I’ll try making normal sized treat into something smaller so the kids can try them and have more if they end up liking them. The small size also makes them perfect for little hands, they can take them outside with them and they pack so well in school lunch boxes.
