Baked Cinnamon Sugar Donuts

Soft and fluffy baked donuts coated with delicious cinnamon sugar
Servings 12 donuts

Ingredients
  

Donut batter

  • 150 grams all purpose flour
  • 45 grams sugar
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • 1/2 tsp ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 tsp ground nutmeg
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 1 egg
  • 125 grams milk
  • 12 grams unsalted butter, melted
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract

Cinnamon sugar topping

  • 75 grams sugar
  • 2 tsp ground cinnamon

Instructions
 

  • In a large bowl, add in the flour, sugar, baking powder, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt. Mix together with a whisk until combined.
  • Add in the egg, milk, melted butter, and vanilla extract. Mix together until it's combined.
  • Transfer the batter into a piping bag and pipe the batter into a greased donut pan. Fill each cavity about 80% full.
  • Bake at 350F/177C for 12 minutes
  • Make the cinnamon sugar topping by mixing together the sugar and cinnamon in a bowl.
  • Toss donuts into the cinnamon sugar mixture while donuts are still warm. Warm donuts will stick to the cinnamon sugar better. If it's not sticking then dip the donuts into some melted butter before tossing it into the cinnamon sugar.

Notes

The donut pan I used has cavities that are 2.75inches/7cm in diameter.
