Ingredients

Donuts
  • 2 tablespoons neutral oil like canola
  • 1 large egg
  • 1/2 cup milk
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour¹
  • 1/3 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
Topping
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Preheat the oven to 350 F.
  2. Grease a standard sized 6-well donut pan with nonstick cooking spray. I like to use baking spray with flour. Set aside.
  3. In a large bowl, whisk together the egg and oil until combined.
  4. Whisk in the milk and vanilla until combined. 
  5. Add the dry ingredients, and stir together until just until incorporated. Don't overmix.
  6. Divide the batter between the prepared wells, filling each about 3/4 full.
  7. Bake for 8-12 minutes, or until the donut springs back when lightly pressed.
  8. While the donuts are baking, stir sugar and cinnamon in a shallow dish.
  9. Let cool in the pan 5 minutes.
  10. Dip the warm donuts in cinnamon sugar.

Notes

  • Be sure to properly measure the flour by sifting or stirring it, spooning it into the measuring cup, and then leveling it. Too much flour will give you a heavy, dense donut.
  • Nutrition values are estimates.
