Silicone Doughnut Pan
This basic doughnut mold is an Amazon favorite for learning to make classic doughnuts. Each cavity measures 3.2 inches, and two pans with six slots let you whip up a half dozen or dozen with ease. Plus, the silicone material ensures your doughnuts don’t stick and the pan is a breeze to clean. (No more worrying about kitchen messes while baking!)
Steel Doughnut Pan
This steel doughnut pan is a solid option for anyone who prefers baking doughnut recipes with metal. Sold in a set of two, the pans measure 12.5 inches by 8 inches with the cavity sitting at 3.25 inches. We like the fact this pan matches and is easily stored with muffin tins and other baking pans. Plus, the steel finish is tougher and more tear-resistant than silicone. While this pan is dishwasher safe, the manufacturer does recommend hand-washing the pan in warm, soapy water for best results.
Individual Doughnut Molds Set
To get the most variety in shapes, we recommend this colorful 24-pack of shaped silicone doughnut molds. This set includes circles, stars, hearts and other classic Bundt-inspired shapes. They’re safe to use in your microwave, oven, dishwasher, freezer and even your air fryer. Plus, their use goes well beyond just doughnuts. Use them to mold mini cakes, Jell-O—you name it! We’d recommend placing them on a cookie or baking sheet to make sure there’s no spillage in your oven or fridge.
Doughnut Cutter
Whether you’re an aspiring baker or a seasoned chef, this doughnut cutter will help you make your homemade doughnuts look professional. There are multiple options depending on your needs. The cutter comes in both 3-inch and 3.5-inch sizes, with options to include a removable center, flour duster or small round cutter. Psst! You can make safe doughnuts for everyone by whipping up a vegan-friendly or gluten-free batch.
Shaped Doughnut Pan Set
Sometimes you want more shapes than the classic circle. This three-pack shaped doughnut mold set will do the trick with its round, heart-shaped and flower-shaped pans. Made out of silicone, the pans are easy to clean and safe for use anywhere from the freezer to the oven.
Individual Round Doughnut Molds
If you don’t have a lot of kitchen space, we have the perfect vertical solution. These stackable round doughnut molds fit in the cabinet or pantry with ease. You won’t have to worry about trying to fit a whole pan in your small space, as this set of 24 takes up the same amount of space as a cupcake liner. Sweet! (Don’t sleep on our Krispy Kreme copycat recipe!)
Mini Doughnut Pan Set
A baker isn’t a baker without their kitchen essentials and tried-and-true recipes. The good news is that this doughnut mold set comes with everything you need to start perfecting the craft. It comes with a spatula, five pastry bags and even a list of baking tips and recipes. If you want, you can even use this kit for more creative uses, like homemade soaps or sushi doughnuts.
Doughnut Candy Mold Pan
To achieve the tiniest doughnuts to decorate your favorite dessert or pass out to friends and family, you’ll want to try this candy doughnut mold. You can make anything from teeny-tiny mini doughnuts, gummy rings or tiny chocolates. We like how versatile this doughnut mold can be, especially if you have sweet tooth.
