These sweet and slightly spicy cinnamon baked doughnuts are a delightful treat. They're simple to prepare and a great option for a sweet snack or breakfast.

Ingredients:

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

Instructions:

Preheat your oven to 350F 175C

In a mixing bowl, combine the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, ground cinnamon, and salt

In a separate bowl, whisk together the buttermilk, melted butter, egg, and vanilla extract

Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined

Spoon the batter into a greased doughnut pan, filling each cavity about two-thirds full

Bake for 10-12 minutes or until the doughnuts spring back when touched

While the doughnuts are baking, prepare the cinnamon sugar coating

In a shallow bowl, mix the granulated sugar and ground cinnamon

As soon as the doughnuts are out of the oven and cool enough to handle, dip each one into the melted butter, then roll in the cinnamon sugar mixture to coat evenly

Serve the cinnamon baked doughnuts warm and enjoy!
