Baked Mini Cinnamon Sugar Donuts (no yeast, no eggs)

Did you know you can prepare baked donuts as good as fried ones without the guilt? These Baked Mini Cinnamon Sugar Donuts are amazingly soft and flavorful, kids’ favorite every time I make them. The recipe comes together in just a few minutes, using basic ingredients you already have at home. It is so easy and quick to prepare them at home as for these donuts you don’t even need yeast or eggs and they don’t require deep frying either.

After baking, these donuts are brushed with a bit of melted butter or vegetable oil and coated into a cinnamon sugar mixture and then are ready for serving right away.

You can follow this recipe to make different types of donuts. Instead of putting on a coating, you can dip them in various glazes like Nutella, melted chocolate, or caramel, and many more.

How to make Baked Mini Cinnamon Sugar Donuts

Get ready by preheating your oven to 375°F (190°C) and putting parchment paper on a baking sheet.

Prepare the dough by mixing in a big bowl, the flour, baking powder, baking soda, sugar, salt, and cinnamon. Add in buttermilk, oil, and vanilla extract. Stir everything well until it’s smooth.

Put the dough on a surface with a little oil. Use a slightly greased rolling pin to make the dough about ½ inch (1 cm) thick.

Use a donut cutter or a 2.5-inch (6 cm) round cookie cutter to shape the donuts. For the hole in the middle, use a 3/4-inch (2 cm) round cutter. For the dough left, roll it again and keep making more donuts until you use it all up.

Place the donuts on the baking sheet, keeping about 2 inches (5 cm) between them. Bake the donuts for 7-8 minutes. Make sure not to bake them too much – you want them just right.

While the donuts are baking, mix sugar and cinnamon together for the coating. Melt the butter too.

When the donuts are done, brush each one with melted butter and then roll them in the sugar-cinnamon mix.
