Cinnamon Roll Doughnuts

These Cinnamon Roll Doughnuts are a delightful fusion of cinnamon rolls and doughnuts. They're soft, fluffy, and packed with cinnamon flavor, making them perfect for breakfast or a sweet treat any time of day.

Ingredients:

• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• 1/2 cup granulated sugar
• 2 tsp baking powder
• 1/2 tsp baking soda
• 1/2 tsp salt
• 1/2 tsp ground cinnamon
• 1/4 tsp ground nutmeg
• 1 cup buttermilk
• 1 large egg
• 2 tbsp unsalted butter, melted
• 1 tsp vanilla extract
• For the cinnamon sugar coating:
• 1/2 cup granulated sugar
• 1 tsp ground cinnamon
• 1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted

Instructions:

Preheat your oven to 350F 175C and grease a doughnut pan

In a mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, and nutmeg

In another bowl, mix buttermilk, egg, melted butter, and vanilla extract

Combine the wet and dry ingredients until just combined

Be careful not to overmix

Spoon the batter into a zip-top bag, cut off the corner, and pipe it into the doughnut pan, filling each cavity about 2/3 full

Bake for 12-15 minutes or until the doughnuts are lightly golden and a toothpick comes out clean when inserted

While the doughnuts are baking, mix the granulated sugar and ground cinnamon for the coating in a shallow bowl

Once the doughnuts are done, let them cool in the pan for a few minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack

While still warm, brush each doughnut with melted butter, then roll them in the cinnamon sugar mixture to coat evenly

Serve warm and enjoy!
