Baked Maple Cinnamon-Sugar Donuts

These Baked Maple Cinnamon-Sugar Donuts are a delightful treat that combines the warmth of cinnamon and the richness of pure maple syrup. They are baked, not fried, making them a healthier alternative to traditional donuts, and theyre perfect for breakfast or as a sweet snack.

Ingredients:

• 1 cup all-purpose flour
• 1/2 cup granulated sugar
• 1 1/2 tsp baking powder
• 1/2 tsp ground cinnamon
• 1/4 tsp salt
• 1/2 cup buttermilk
• 1/4 cup pure maple syrup
• 1 large egg
• 2 tbsp unsalted butter, melted
• 1 tsp vanilla extract
• For the Cinnamon-Sugar Coating:
• 1/4 cup granulated sugar
• 1 tsp ground cinnamon
• 2 tbsp unsalted butter, melted

Instructions:

Set the oven temperature to 175C 350F

Use cooking spray that is non-stick to grease a donut pan

Combine the flour, baking powder, ground cinnamon, granulated sugar, and salt in a sizable mixing bowl

Mix the melted butter, egg, buttermilk, maple syrup, and vanilla extract in a separate bowl

Mixing until just combined, pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients

Pour the batter into each cavity of the greased donut pan, filling it to about two thirds full

Bake for 12 to 15 minutes in a preheated oven, or until a toothpick inserted into a donut comes out clean and the donuts bounce back when touched

As the donuts bake, make the cinnamon-sugar coating by combining the ground cinnamon and granulated sugar in a shallow bowl

After the donuts are done, take them out of the oven and let cool for a short while in the pan

After the donuts are safe to handle, take them out of the pan, brush each one with melted butter, and coat it with a mixture of cinnamon and sugar
