Heart shaped mini doughnuts

Doughnuts are confectioneries which are made from deep fried dough.You can use different kind of flour or toppings to make a variety.Doughnuts can also be filled with chocolate or jellies or other sweet substances.Typically doughnuts are round with a hole in the middle but in this recipe I made heart shaped doughnuts specially for Valentine’s day .You can make these mini doughnuts filled with sweets like tutti fruity,sprinklers and chocolate chips.
They look attractive and instead of deep fried  I have baked them so they are healthy.
