Best Donut Pan without Teflon
Depending on your needs, there is a wide variety of options of donut pans made without Teflon. Non-stick silicone is an excellent material to consider as it's easy to clean and food can be easily removed from it.
These silicone pans are also oven safe up to temperatures of 440°F which makes them incredibly versatile and durable.
There's also aluminized steel donut pans you can look into. I found a few on Amazon that would work great for this recipe.
Choosing the right donut pan not only gives you consistent baking results every time, but will ensure that you are doing so without using teflon or other potentially dangerous non stick materials.

Main Ingredients Needed
- Flour
- Sugar
- Cocoa powder
- Baking soda
- 1 egg
- Vanilla extract
- Milk
- Sour cream
- Vegetable oil
- Powdered sugar
Step-by-Step Directions
Step 1 | Combing the Ingredients
- Combine the flour, sugar, cocoa powder, and baking soda together in a bowl.
- While in another bowl, combine the egg, sour cream, milk and vegetable oil.
- Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and mix together until everything is combined.
Step 2 | Baking Instructions
- Fill the donut pan with the batter.
- Make sure you spray the pan with non-stick baking spray.
- Then bake in a 375°F preheated oven until a toothpick comes out clean; about 8 to 10 minutes.
- Remove the donuts from the pan and allow to cool on a baking rack before drizzling the glaze on top.
Step 3 | How to Glaze the Donuts
- Combine all the ingredients for the glaze in a mixing bowl. This step proved to be a little tricky. I tried dipping the donuts in the glaze but it was really messy.
- I finally set the donuts on a baking rack over a baking tray that I covered with wax paper and then "poured" or drizzled the glaze on top. This way worked great!
How to Fill the Donut Pan
Follow these easy tips for filling the donut pan without any messes:
- Take a large plastic storage bag or a disposable decorating bag, and place it inside a large drinking glass or tall jar.
- Cuff the excess bag over the sides of the glass.
- Make sure the inside of the bag is smooth by pressing it to the sides of the drinking glass.
- Spoon the batter into the bag using a spatula being careful not to fill it all the way up or the batter will overflow once you start squeezing.
- Gently lift the bag out of the glass jar and squeeze it gently to work the batter down into the bottom of the bag.
- Twist the end of the bag and snip one corner with the kitchen scissors.
- Gently squeeze the batter into the wells of the donut pan.
Serving Tips
- Wait about 10 minutes or so before you actually eat the donuts.
- Letting them rest after you pour the glaze on helps set the glaze so the donuts aren't too wet.
Storage Tips
- Store the donuts in an airtight container. You can keep them on the countertop, however, if your house is warm, they should be stored in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
- If you have to layer them in the container, you should place a piece of parchment paper between the layers so the glaze donuts don't stick.
- You can also freeze them in airtight containers or a freezer-safe storage bag for up to 3 months. Thaw in the refrigerator overnight.

So if I halved this recipe I would have 6 donuts? It's only me and hubby, don't need a dozen.
Lois says
Yes, that should work. Although I have never halved the recipe. You could always make the full recipe and freeze the extra donuts before adding the glaze. Then the next time you're in the mood for donuts, pull them out of the freezer,glaze and enjoy! Thanks for visiting.
