Place the oven rack in the center position of the oven and preheat the oven to 375°F.
In a large mixing bowl, add the brown sugar, egg, oil, sour cream, milk, and vanilla. Whisk until the mixture is smooth and well blended.
Add the flour, baking powder, cinnamon, and salt to the bowl. Whisk gently until just combined, making sure most of the lumps are mixed out.
Prepare two mini muffin pans by spraying 36 wells with non-stick cooking spray. Scoop 1 ½ Tablespoons of batter into each muffin cup.
Place both pans together on the center rack of the oven. Bake for 10 to 12 minutes, or until the donuts have risen and toothpick inserted comes out clean. (These don't take long to bake, don't over bake.)
While the donuts are baking, melt the butter in a small bowl and set it aside.

Add the sugar and cinnamon to a large zip-top bag, seal it, and shake until thoroughly combined.
Once the donuts are finished baking, allow them to cool for a few minutes.
Working one donut at a time, gently dip each donut into the melted butter until fully coated, wiping away any excess so the coating stays light. Transfer the donut to the zip-top bag. Add about 6 donuts to the bag at once and gently shake until coated in the cinnamon sugar.
Remove the donuts from the bag and tap off any excess cinnamon sugar. Continue with the remaining donuts. Serve and enjoy!
