Cinnamon Glazed Baked Doughnuts

I couldn’t wait to make doughnuts again since I had such wonderful results the last time I made them. I’ve seen several recipes for baked doughnuts floating around but I knew this recipe would be the next I would try. Cinnamon doughnuts, smothered with a delicious powdered sugar glaze, and topped with sprinkles = my ideal doughnut.

These were very easy and fun to make. My favorite part was definitely adding the glaze and sprinkles. I drizzled the glaze on the doughnuts by placing them on a wire rack with foil under it (which made for very easy clean up!). Another tip, make sure you grease the doughnut pan very well. I thought I did but some of my doughnuts still stuck to the pan a little more than I would have liked. If you have a doughnut pan, you must make these soon (and if you don’t, you need to buy one)!
