Baked Cinnamon Sugar Donuts
PEOPLE. Today I am sharing the most scrumptious desserts disguised as breakfast: baked cinnamon sugar donuts. Where do I even begin? The soft, cakey dough. The warm cinnamon sugar coating. Or the fact that they’re baked, not fried.
Take it all in, friends.

How to make baked cinnamon sugar donuts?
If you don’t know it, donuts are one of my favorite sweet treats. And thanks to this donut pan, it couldn’t be easier. You get a perfectly round donut every time, and you get to skip the whole fried food guilt thing (not that you should feel guilty EVER about donuts). Simply pipe the batter into a grease donut pan, bake, and then dip in cinnamon sugar!
I kid you not in that these donuts were gone within 24 hours of their conception. People couldn’t get enough of them. And did I mention how easy they are?! Cinnamon sugar is pretty much my favorite flavor combo (duh), and these baked donuts are no exception!
So go ahead. Make these donuts. You will not be disappointed.

Preheat oven to 350°F. Grease a standard sized donut pan and set aside.
In a medium bowl, combine flour, sugar, baking soda, baking powder, and salt. In a separate bowl, combine egg, yogurt, vegetable oil, milk, and vanilla extract. Carefully pour the wet ingredients into the dry, mixing until just combined. Mixture will be slightly lumpy and thick.
Spoon batter into a large ziplock bag and cut a ½ inch hole in one corner, creating a makeshift piping bag. Pipe the dough into the donut molds, filling ¾ of the way to the top of the molds. Bake for 10 minutes. Allow to cool in the pan for 5 minutes before coating with cinnamon sugar.
To make the cinnamon sugar, combine both ingredients in a shallow bowl. Using a small brush, brush each donut with the melted butter, then dip each side into the sugar mixture. I dipped each donut in twice for an extra sugary coating 🙂 Serve!
These are so good….just to maybe help others out, with my Wilton pan this recipe only makes about 7 donuts. I don’t think I fill them too much either. Also, I find it easier to just pick the dough up with my hand and pull and move it around the pan vs putting it in a ziploc bag. Lastly, I use greek sigigs vanilla yogurt because I didn’t have plain and it works great.
The two of us could eat 12 donuts at one sitting but that’s obviously not a good idea. Can the mix be held overnight or would it be better to just halve it for 6 donuts? Can’t wait to try these. Our favorite bakery has closed and we’ve been missing our cinnamon donut fix. Thanks for any info!

I haven’t been able to find the nutrition information on this. Just want to be able to track them. Thanks
Do these need to be refrigerated after baking?
I usually just store them at room temperature in a sealed container! That is if there are any left 🙂
I just borrowed a mini donut pan to try these. Any suggestions on how much to reduce the baking time?
Hi Judith! I would try 8 minutes and then just keep an eye on them from there!
