These Baked Cinnamon Donuts, are a fast and easy breakfast, dessert or snack idea. A soft and delicious cinnamon sugar baked Doughnut is perfect anytime!

What can I say? I’m bringing 2 of my favourite things together, Cinnamon and Donuts! I thought with how fast time goes, can you believe Christmas is over already? Before you know it, it will be sunny and warmer and hopefully a much better year than 2020 showed itself to be. And what better way to start off the year then with some Baked Donuts!

How to make them

In a medium bowl whisk together flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, sugar and cinnamon. In a medium bowl whisk together egg, milk, yogurt, vanilla and melted butter until smooth.

Mix wet ingredients into dry ingredients and mix just until combined, do not over mix, if there are a few lumps that’s ok. Place in a pastry bag and fill almost to the top the donut pan. Bake approximately 10 minutes.

When to add the cinnamon sugar

I let the donuts cool about 20 seconds before I removed them from the pan,  then I immediately dipped the tops in the cinnamon sugar. Or you could let them cool, brush the tops with a little melted butter and then dip in the cinnamon sugar mixture. But if you prefer plain that works too.

Is it Donut or Doughnut?

In the Oxford English Dictionary it lists both spellings, Doughnut is the preferred spelling in British English and donut is the preferred American spelling. So in other words they both mean the same thing, just different spelling.

Why use a pastry bag?

I found using a pastry bag was much easier and faster,  it is easier to control the amount of batter added to the pan. Of course you can use a spoon if you wish.

How to store them

Store the baked cooled donuts in an air tight container at room temperature. They will last up to 4 days. They can also be frozen in a freezer safe bag or container. They will keep for up to 2-3 months in the freezer.
