Ingredients

• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 cup granulated sugar
• 2 teaspoons baking powder
• 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1/2 cup whole milk
• 2 large eggs
• 1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1 cup powdered sugar
• 2 tablespoons milk (for glaze)
• 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon (for glaze)

How to Make Cinnamon Glazed Donuts

1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a donut pan with non-stick spray.
2. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, 1 teaspoon of cinnamon, and salt until well combined.
3. In another bowl, mix the milk, eggs, melted butter, and vanilla extract until smooth.
4. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. Do not overmix; a few lumps are okay.
5. Spoon the batter into the prepared donut pan, filling each cavity about 2/3 full.
6. Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into a donut comes out clean.
7. Once baked, remove the donuts from the oven and let them cool in the pan for about 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
8. While the donuts are cooling, prepare the glaze by whisking together the powdered sugar, 2 tablespoons of milk, and 1/2 teaspoon of cinnamon in a small bowl until smooth.
9. Dunk the cooled donuts into the glaze and allow the excess to drip off. Place them back on the wire rack to set for a few minutes before serving.

Tips for the Best Results

• Make sure not to overmix the batter to keep the donuts fluffy.
• For an extra flavor kick, you can add a pinch of nutmeg to the batter.
• Allow the donuts to cool slightly before glazing for a smoother finish.

Easy Variations

• Chocolate Glazed: Replace the cinnamon glaze with a chocolate glaze made from melted chocolate and heavy cream.
• Maple Glazed: Swap out the cinnamon glaze for a maple syrup glaze for a classic flavor twist.
• Sprinkles: Top the glazed donuts with colorful sprinkles for a fun and festive look.

What to Serve With It

• A steaming cup of coffee or tea to complement the sweetness.
• Fresh fruit like berries or banana slices for a refreshing contrast.
• A scoop of vanilla ice cream for an indulgent dessert.
