, 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!

Ingredients
For the donuts
- 1 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/3 cup light brown sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
- 3/4 teaspoon salt
- 1 egg
- 1/3 cup plain, non-fat yogurt
- 1/4 cup vegetable oil
- 1/4 cup whole milk
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
For the cinnamon sugar
- 1 1/2 cups granulated sugar
- 1 tablespoon ground cinnamon
- 1/4 cup butter, melted
- donut pan
Instructions
- 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 were amazing. I didn’t know baked donuts were that good. Very easy too!

Is there a way to modify the baking time to make donut holes? Don’t have a donut pan handy!
Hi! Can I omit the yogurt? I’m looking to make the recipe dairy free.. can I omit or substitute with applesauce or something? Thanks
You could sub it with a dairy free yogurt or non dairy milk!
Hii, I was wondering if I can replace the milk with heavy cream?! I know sounds crazy but somehow I have HC but no milk in the fridge 🙁
You can water down some heavy cream! Do half heavy cream and half water!
I haven’t tried these but they look delicious!!! I was wondering, could I use sour cream instead of yogurt? It’s just what I have on hand and I’d love to make them tomorrow.
