How to Make This Recipe
Preheat your oven and spray your donut pans with cooking spray. Whisk together the oil, sugar, vanilla and eggs until blended.
Sift in your dry ingredients, flour through cinnamon. Stir just until combined–don’t over-mix or you won’t get nice fluffy donuts! Fill each pan about ¾ full. Bake for 20 minutes or until a toothpick poked into the middle of one comes out clean.
Let cool in pans for about five minutes and then transfer to wire racks. While donuts are still warm, dip them in the glaze recipe below, or sprinkle with cinnamon-sugar or coconut sugar. Let set before serving! If you like your baked doughnuts with extra sweetness, top it off with a simple icing.
- ½ cup powdered sifted sugar
- ¼ tsp vanilla extract
Mix together until smooth and creamy. Add milk if the glaze is too thick to drizzle over your doughnuts! Dip cooled baked donuts into glaze or pour on using a spoon. Top as desired! Store glazed donuts in an airtight container on the counter for up to two days or freeze them and defrost at room temperature before enjoying.
How long should you bake your donuts?
- Bake this recipe and any baked goods, according to how dark and crunchy you like it. If you prefer a lighter crust, bake for less time. If you like it darker and crunchier, turn up the heat!
- I love to use muffin tins because they are so easy to clean but traditional donut pans work too! I have this Wilton one that makes perfect every single time. It’s dishwasher safe and non-stick.
- Once they’ve cooled, top with your favourite frosting or glaze. You can also roll them in sugar instead of a glaze to give that crunchy exterior we all crave on our cake donuts.
- Serve these homemade doughnuts with a piping hot cup of coffee or tea for the ultimate dunking experience. If you have kids, they’ll love making this recipe as much as they love eating it! This is also one quick and easy breakfast that the whole family will enjoy.
- Cinnamon sugar donuts are a traditional treat but you can also top with chocolate ganache, chopped nuts, sprinkles or even fruit! There’s no end to the toppings that work well on this baked vanilla glazed doughnut recipe. Store leftover donuts in an airtight container at room temperature for up to two days or freeze them and defrost at room temperature before enjoying.
