Soft, fluffy baked donuts coated in a sweet cinnamon sugar mixture, perfect for cozy mornings or gatherings.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 3/4 cup milk (whole milk or almond milk)
  • 2 large eggs
  • 4 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • For the coating:
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 4 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and grease your donut pan with non-stick spray or butter.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, cinnamon, and salt.
  3. In a separate bowl, combine the milk, eggs, melted butter, and vanilla extract. Whisk until smooth.
  4. Gradually add the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, stirring gently with a spatula until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
  5. Spoon the batter into a piping bag or use a spoon to fill each donut cavity about 3/4 full. Smooth the tops if necessary.
  6. Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the donuts spring back when lightly touched. Let them cool in the pan for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack.
  7. For the coating, mix the granulated sugar and cinnamon in a shallow bowl. Brush the warm donuts with melted butter and roll them in the cinnamon sugar mixture until evenly coated.

Notes

[‘Don’t overfill the pan to maintain the donut shape.’, ‘Use room-temperature ingredients for better texture.’, ‘Customize the sugar coating with nutmeg or pumpkin spice.’, ‘The batter can be prepped in advance and stored overnight in the fridge.’]
