Cinnamon Doughnuts

If you don’t love a still-warm cinnamon doughnut, then we can’t be friends anymore. Make these traditionally deep-fried treats much healthier by baking them instead.

Ingredients

• 3 eggs
• 1/3 cup sour cream
• 250mL milk
• 1 tsp vanilla extract
• 125g butter, melted & cooled
• 1 tsp baking powder
• Pinch salt
• 75g brown sugar
• 300g plain flour
• 2 tbsp cinnamon
• 120g sugar

Method

• Preheat oven to 180°C and grease a 12-hole doughnut tin.
• In a large bowl, whisk eggs lightly, add sour cream and whisk to combine.
• Add milk, vanilla and melted butter. Mix well.
• Whisk in baking powder and salt, mix thoroughly.
• Mix in brown sugar and then flour, mixing until smooth.
• Spoon or pipe into doughnut tins and bake for 20-25 mins until pale golden.
• Cool in pan for 5 mins, then remove to a cooling rack.
• Mix cinnamon and sugar in a small bowl.
• Working 1 at a time, brush warm doughnuts on both sides with melted butter, place in the bowl of cinnamon sugar and coat well.
• Enjoy while still warm.
