Cinnamon Sugar Donut
I’ve been making baked donuts since 2018, and since then it’s safe to say I’ve earned my title of baked donut expert! For these cinnamon sugar donuts, I used my popular baked donut recipe as a base and then coated them in a perfectly balanced cinnamon-sugar mixture.
Servings: 12 donuts
Equipment
Ingredients
Donuts
- 2 cups all purpose flour properly measured, 240g
- ½ tsp ground nutmeg
- ½ cup granulated sugar
- 2 tsp baking powder
- 1 tsp salt
- ½ cup plus 2 tbsp milk I used whole milk
- 2 large eggs
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- ¼ cup plus 2 tbsp vegetable oil
Cinnamon Sugar Coating
- ⅔ cup granulated sugar
- 2 tsp cinnamon
Instructions
Donuts
- Preheat the oven to 350ºF. Spray a donut pan with non-stick cooking spray then use a paper towel to evenly coat the entire donut well.
- In a smaller bowl, combine the flour, nutmeg, sugar, baking powder and salt, mix until combined. Set aside.
- In a mixing bowl, combine the milk, egg, vanilla extract and vegetable oil, use a whisk or spatula to beat. Gradually add the flour mixture, mixing by hand with a spatula just until combined.
- Transfer the batter to a ziplock bag, then cut off one corner and pipe the batter into the donut wells. Alternatively, use a cookie scoop and drop dollops of batter into the wells. Use a small spatula to smooth the tops of the batter if the batter is uneven. Fill the wells 1/2 to 3/4ths full.
- Bake for 10-11 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center of a donut comes out clean. Allow the donuts to cool for 10 minutes in the donut pan. Then, turn the donut pan upside down and hit the pan again a counter a few times to release the donuts.
Cinnamon Sugar Coating
- Combine the cinnamon sugar mixture in a ziplock bag. Add one donut at a time to the bag, shake to coat. Repeat as necessary. If the coating isn’t sticking, very lightly brush the donuts with melted butter, then shake in the bag.
