I love donuts. I love donut shop donuts and I love those mini donuts covered in powdered sugar you can get at the grocery store.
I love sugar twists, raspberry filled, honey dip, boston cream… I haven’t met a donut I didn’t like.
My favourite though?
Cinnamon donuts.
If you too love cinnamon donuts you are going to simply love these oven baked cinnamon donuts.
Soft, fluffy and bursting with the warming combination of cinnamon and sugar.
They make for a quick breakfast treat and pair nicely with coffee after dinner.
All you need to get started is a donut pan!
Donuts are best served fresh the same day, but you can keep them for up to 3 days in an airtight container.
Give these baked cinnamon donuts a try and let me know what you think!

Remove form the oven, let cool and then remove from the donut pan and repeat with the leftover batter.

I made these and followed the directions, but the recipe yielded 6 for me not 12... the dough was a little thin and they weren't as crumbly and delicious as the photos look. But not too bad for my first attempt at baked donuts :)
