Baked Breakfast Donuts are soft, fluffy, and oven-baked for a lighter, mess-free alternative to traditional fried donuts. Perfect for a quick, customizable, and satisfying morning treat.

Ingredients

  • 1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 cup sugar
  • 1 large egg
  • 1/2 cup milk (or buttermilk)
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted (or oil)
  • Optional toppings: cinnamon sugar, chocolate glaze, sprinkles, powdered sugar

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C) and lightly grease a donut pan.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and sugar.
  3. In another bowl, whisk the egg, milk, melted butter (or oil), and vanilla extract until smooth.
  4. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry and mix just until combined. Do not overmix.
  5. Spoon or pipe the batter into the prepared donut pan, filling each cavity about 3/4 full.
  6. Bake for 10–12 minutes or until donuts are golden and a toothpick inserted comes out clean.
  7. Let donuts cool in the pan for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack.
  8. Dip in glaze, coat in cinnamon sugar, or dust with powdered sugar once slightly cooled.

Notes

  • Do not overmix the batter to keep donuts light and tender.
  • Use buttermilk or add yogurt for a moister donut.
  • Customize with your favorite glazes or spices.
  • Use a piping bag or zip-top bag with a snipped corner to easily fill the donut pan.
  • Let donuts cool completely before glazing if using chocolate or sugar glazes.
