Description
Delightfully soft and fluffy baked donuts covered in a warm cinnamon sugar coating.
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 or almond)
- 2 large eggs
- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar (for coating)
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon (for coating)
- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted (for coating)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and grease your donut pan.
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, cinnamon, and salt.
- In a separate bowl, combine the milk, eggs, melted butter, and vanilla extract. Whisk until smooth.
- Gradually pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, stirring gently until just combined.
- Spoon the batter into a piping bag or use a spoon to fill each donut cavity about 3/4 full.
- Bake for 10-12 minutes, until the donuts spring back when lightly pressed. Cool in the pan for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack.
- For the coating, mix the granulated sugar and cinnamon. Brush the warm donuts with melted butter, then roll them in the cinnamon sugar mix until fully coated.
