Description
Simple baked donuts coated in a cinnamon sugar mixture.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup milk
- 1 large egg
- 1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar for coating
- 2 tablespoons ground cinnamon for coating
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease a donut baking pan.
- In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, 1/2 cup sugar, baking powder, and salt.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the milk, egg, melted butter, and vanilla extract.
- Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and mix until just combined. Do not overmix.
- Spoon or pipe the batter into the prepared donut pan, filling each mold about two-thirds full.
- Bake for 9 to 11 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- While the donuts bake, mix the 1/2 cup sugar and cinnamon together in a shallow dish.
- Remove the donuts from the oven and let them cool in the pan for 5 minutes.
- Carefully remove the warm donuts from the pan and immediately roll each donut in the cinnamon sugar mixture until fully coated.
- Place the coated donuts on a wire rack to cool completely.
Notes
- You can use coconut oil instead of butter for a dairy-free option.
- If you do not have a donut pan, you can bake the batter in a standard muffin tin for donut muffins. Adjust baking time as needed.
