Cinnamon Baked Doughnuts
RECIPE COURTESY OF INA GARTEN
Level: Easy
Total: 35 min
Active: 15 min
Yield: 12 doughnuts

Ingredients

Baking spray with flour, such as Baker's Joy
2 cups all-purpose flour
1 1/2 cups sugar
2 teaspoons baking powder
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
1 extra-large egg, lightly beaten
1 1/4 cups whole milk
2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract

For the topping:
8 tablespoons (1 stick) unsalted butter
1/2 cup sugar
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon

Directions

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Spray 2 doughnut pans well.

Into a large bowl, sift together the flour, sugar, baking powder, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt. In a small bowl, whisk together the egg, milk, melted butter, and vanilla. Stir the wet mixture into the dry ingredients until just combined.

Spoon the batter into the baking pans, filling each one a little more than three-quarters full. Bake for 17 minutes, until a toothpick comes out clean. Allow to cool for 5 minutes, then tap the doughnuts out onto a sheet pan.

For the topping, melt the 8 tablespoons of butter in an 8-inch saute pan. Combine the sugar and cinnamon in a small bowl. Dip each doughnut first in the butter and then in the cinnamon sugar, either on one side or both sides.

This woman knows how to do a cooking show. Thank you for getting to the point, and making the recipe actually approachable, and also being adorable.

I love contessa, she is so classy and quiet, and her soft voice. I love her recipes, how she explain.

[elaina]

I love how happy she is through this whole video. Such a genuine happy place for her in the kitchen. Love it.

[hardyzfan]

I‘m fascinated by how she glazed the donuts. I never thought of doing it that way.

[candiedisilvio]

She makes everything look so easy! I love her

[debbieb-c]

I made these this morning! The whole family loved! I didn’t dip the donuts into the melted butter at the end. I found that the cinnamon sugar stuck to the warm donuts without the butter. ❤️

[MaryGVela]

She is so awesome. Always smiling. The best way to cook. 🤗❤️ Bless her heart.

[hooliganbubsy]

This is the most wholesome thing I've seen in a long time.

[kellypassalaqua]

Jeffrey and Ina seem so happy and really enjoying life!

[bluekitty]

I always had a tradition of making doughnuts when my kids had a snow day. We have a blizzard on the way for this weekend so I think I'll make some sugar cinnamon doughnuts!

[goddessKye]

They are still so smitten over each other!

[joshhalim]

I love donuts that are baked instead of fried. Great recipe!! 😊

[BearFoodKitchen]

Yummy! These look delicious. I am happy they are baked and not fried. Great recipe!

[palmm]

I made these today, they were delicious! I only added 1 cup sugar and after baking sprinkled cinamon sugar. Scrumptious is the word!

[CTmealplanner]

My kids love these! I do use a pastry bag only because it’s the easiest way to get the batter in the pan. I don’t dip the donuts in the butter or cinnamon and sugar and my kids still eat them.

[Funkie_Monkey]

I've tried all sorts of different recipes including air fried and I find these the best by far 🥰 I can get 21 doughnuts from this recipe so even more to enjoy 🤤 Ty so much ❤️

[virajinid]

I baked them today and came out perfectly. My family loved them. Thank you so much!

[VarongTangkitphithakphon]

You'll never get tired of Ina. I love her!

[christoschristof]

Using a piping bag to fill the doughnut tray will prove much easier.

[lanebashford]

Best recipe ever! We love these cake donuts with a cup of coffee. Best snack after a long brisk fall walk. Everything about these donuts reminds me of old New England and my mother's family in MA and Maine.
