There’s nothing quite like the taste of a freshly baked homemade cinnamon sugar donut. The warmth of the dough, the sweet cinnamon flavor, and the light dusting of sugar just can’t be beaten. With this simple and irresistible recipe, you can recreate the magic of a bakery-fresh donut right in your own kitchen.

To start, you’ll need the following ingredients:

– 2 cups all-purpose flour
– 1/2 cup sugar
– 2 teaspoons baking powder
– 1/2 teaspoon salt
– 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
– 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
– 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
– 2 large eggs
– 1/2 cup milk
– 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

For the cinnamon sugar coating:

– 1/2 cup granulated sugar
– 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
– 6 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted

To make the donuts, begin by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C). In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, salt, cinnamon, and nutmeg. In a separate bowl, mix together the melted butter, eggs, milk, and vanilla extract. Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and stir until just combined.

Spoon the batter into a greased donut pan, filling each mold about two-thirds full. Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the donuts are golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

While the donuts are baking, prepare the cinnamon sugar coating. In a small bowl, mix together the granulated sugar and cinnamon. In a separate bowl, melt the butter. Once the donuts are done baking, remove them from the oven and allow them to cool for a few minutes.

Once the donuts are cool enough to handle, dip each one into the melted butter, then roll them in the cinnamon sugar mixture until evenly coated. Place the coated donuts on a wire rack to cool completely.

With their perfectly tender texture and irresistible flavor, these homemade cinnamon sugar donuts are sure to become a new favorite in your household. Whether you serve them as a special breakfast treat or as a delicious dessert, they are certain to bring a smile to everyone’s face. So why wait?
