Cinnamon Sugar Donuts : Classic Treat You Can Bake

Print Recipe

There’s nothing quite like the irresistible aroma of Cinnamon Sugar Donuts fresh out of the oven.

Ingredients

Scale

For the Donuts:

  • 1 cup all-purpose flour

  • 1 tsp baking powder

  • ¼ tsp baking soda

  • ¼ tsp salt

  • ½ tsp ground cinnamon

  • ¼ cup unsalted butter, melted

  • ½ cup granulated sugar

  • 1 large egg

  • ⅓ cup buttermilk (or milk + vinegar substitute)

  • 1 tsp vanilla extract

For the Cinnamon Sugar Coating:

  • ½ cup granulated sugar

  • 1 tbsp ground cinnamon

  • ¼ cup unsalted butter, melted (for brushing)

Instructions

Step 1: Preheat and Prepare the Pan

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 6-cavity donut pan well with butter or nonstick spray.

Step 2: Mix Dry Ingredients

In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and cinnamon.

Step 3: Mix Wet Ingredients

In a separate bowl, whisk melted butter and sugar until smooth. Add in the egg, buttermilk, and vanilla extract. Stir until well combined.

Step 4: Combine the Mixtures

Gently fold the dry ingredients into the wet mixture until just combined. Do not overmix.

Step 5: Fill the Donut Pan

Spoon the batter into a piping bag or zip-top bag with the corner snipped off. Pipe evenly into the greased donut pan, filling each cavity about ¾ full.

Step 6: Bake

Bake for 10–12 minutes, or until the donuts spring back when lightly touched. Allow to cool in the pan for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack.

Step 7: Coat in Cinnamon Sugar

While donuts are still warm, brush each with melted butter and roll in the cinnamon sugar mixture until well coated.

Notes

  • Use room-temperature ingredients for best mixing and texture

  • Don’t overfill the pan—¾ full is just right

  • Use a piping bag to neatly fill each donut cavity
