If you’re looking for a super quick-and-easy doughnut recipe with no rising or frying required, then these cinnamon sugar doughnuts are for you! The only special equipment you’ll need is a doughnut pan. This riff on cake-style doughnuts<\/a> pairs perfectly with a cup of coffee.<\/p>\n Preheat oven to 350\u00b0F. In a small bowl, combine the first seven ingredients. In another bowl, combine the egg, buttermilk, oil and vanilla; stir the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients until just moistened.<\/p>\n Pipe or spoon batter into 2 greased 6-cavity doughnut pans<\/a>, filling each cavity three-quarters full.<\/p>\n Bake until a toothpick inserted in the thickest part of the doughnut comes out clean, 10 to 12 minutes.<\/p>\n Cool for 5 minutes before removing from pans to wire racks. In a small bowl combine the sugar and cinnamon to make the coating. Roll warm doughnuts in the coating.<\/p>\n Doughnuts are best the day they’re made. If you need to store them, keep them on the counter in an airtight container for a day or two. If you prefer to keep them in the fridge, know that it will change the texture a bit.<\/p>\n Reheat leftover doughnuts in the oven before serving, as doughnuts are most delightful when warm.<\/p>\n If you want to freeze doughnuts, do so before coating them in cinnamon sugar. You can always roll them in the sugar mixture after you thaw and reheat them.<\/p>\n Stack doughnuts in a freezer bag with parchment paper in between, and gently squeeze out as much air as you can. Place in freezer. Alternatively, you can freeze the doughnuts in a single layer on a parchment-lined cookie sheet, and transfer them to a freezer bag when they’re solid.<\/p>\n To thaw a frozen doughnut, simply leave it out on the counter until it reaches room temperature, and then heat it in the oven for a few minutes to make it extra delicious.<\/p>\n This batter isn’t suitable for frying, but check out our recipes for old-fashioned doughnuts<\/a>, which are. They can be rolled in cinnamon sugar, as can Portuguese-Hawaiian malasadas<\/a>.<\/p>\n Yes! Not everybody has a doughnut pan, and there are ways to make delicious baked doughnuts without one.<\/p>\n If you don’t care about the doughnut hole, simply oil muffin tin cups and pipe or spoon in your doughnut batter until each muffin cup is three-quarters full. Since these doughnuts won’t have a hole, they’ll take longer to cook. Start checking them after 12 minutes (by inserting a toothpick or skewer into the center to see if it comes out clean), but be aware that they may not be done for 15 or 18 minutes.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Cinnamon-sugar is the perfect combo of sweetness and spice, and it makes these doughnuts
