Time 35m

Yield 12 doughnuts

Number Of Ingredients 14

Baking spray with flour, such as Baker's Joy
2 cups all-purpose flour
1 1/2 cups sugar
2 teaspoons baking powder
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt

1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Spray 2 doughnut pans well.
  • Into a large bowl, sift together the flour, sugar, baking powder, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt. In a small bowl, whisk together the egg, milk, melted butter, and vanilla. Stir the wet mixture into the dry ingredients until just combined.
  • Spoon the batter into the baking pans, filling each one a little more than three-quarters full. Bake for 17 minutes, until a toothpick comes out clean. Allow to cool for 5 minutes, then tap the doughnuts out onto a sheet pan.

Provided by Kelli with an I

Number Of Ingredients 18

CINNAMON ROLL TOPPING:
2 tablespoons butter
2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
5 tablespoons light brown sugar
1 teaspoons milk
1 teaspoon cornstarch
DONUT BATTER:
4 tablespoons butter, room temperature
1/2 cup milk
1 egg
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1/2 cup granulated sugar
2 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
GLAZE:
3/4 cup powdered sugar
Dash of milk

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350°F. Grease a 6-cavity donut pan and set aside. CINNAMON ROLL TOPPING: Melt the butter in a saucepan on medium-low heat. Add the cinnamon, brown sugar, milk, and cornstarch. Heat until it just bubbles. Take it off the heat and pour about 1/2 tsp of the mixture into the bottom of each donut cavity. DONUT BATTER: In a medium bowl, cream together the butter, milk, egg, and vanilla. In a separate bowl, sift together the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry and mix until just combined. Pipe or spoon the batter into the donut cavities about 2/3 of the way full. Bake for 7-8 minutes and turn out on a wire rack to cool. GLAZE: Using a fork, whisk the milk into the powdered sugar until desired consistency. Using a piping bag or a plastic bag with the tip cut off, glaze the top of the donuts.

Tips:

  • For a richer flavor, use brown sugar instead of granulated sugar in the cinnamon filling.
  • If you don't have a donut pan, you can bake the donuts in a muffin tin. Just be sure to grease the muffin cups well so that the donuts don't stick.
  • To make the donuts ahead of time, bake them and then freeze them. When you're ready to serve them, thaw them overnight in the refrigerator or at room temperature for a few hours.
  • You can also make the cinnamon filling ahead of time and store it in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to a week.
  • For a fun twist, try adding different flavors to the cinnamon filling, such as chocolate chips, chopped nuts, or dried fruit.

Conclusion:

These cinnamon roll baked donuts are a delicious and easy-to-make treat that are perfect for any occasion. They're made with a simple dough that's rolled up with cinnamon sugar and then baked in a donut pan. The result is a light and fluffy donut that's full of cinnamon flavor. These donuts are best served warm and fresh, but they can also be stored in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days.
