Baked Cinnamon Glazed Donuts

March 2, 2011

I bought a donut pan.

Things could get dangerous around here.

My father-in-law is crazy about donuts, so I will have to make these for him – that will be the true test. :)

Baked Cinnamon Glazed Donuts
Adapted from Stephanie Cooks

Doughnuts
1 cup all purpose flour
1/2 cup sugar
1 Tablespoon baking powder
2 teaspoon cinnamon
1 egg
1/2 cup skim milk
1 teaspoon vanilla
4 Tablespoon canola oil

Icing
1/2 cup powdered sugar
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
1/2 Tablespoon light corn syrup
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 Tablespoon water

Directions:
1. Preheat the oven to 450.
2. Stir the dry ingredients together. Add the egg, vanilla, and milk then whisk together for 1 minute. Add the oil and continue to whisk until well combined.
3. Grease the muffin tins. Fill each ~ 1/3 of the way. Make sure not to fill too much or the batter will bake over the hole in the pan. Bake for 7-9 minutes. Cool completely before icing.
4. Make the Icing: Whisk the first four ingredients together. Add the water slowly until it reaches the desired consistency.


5. Spoon over the doughnuts. Top with sprinkles. Make 36 mini donuts.

Nutrition Notes: Baking these donuts make them MUCH healthier than traditional fried donuts.

Taste Test: Obviously if you compare these with fried donuts, these don’t taste as good but for baked donuts they were really good. I definitely want to keep trying different donut recipes. What is it about mini donuts that make them so cute and fun to eat? Love it!
