With notes of cinnamon and nutmeg, a pretty pink glaze, and vibrant sprinkles, our baked donuts are a guaranteed delight! The flavorful batter bakes up light, but firm and the glaze is a simple mix that can be colored and flavored any way you like. Try adding fruit zest or different extracts to bring your own flair to this easy yet delicious recipe.
For the donuts:
1. Preheat oven to 350°F (177°C). Spray the donut pans with non-stick spray. Set aside.
2. Whisk the flour, baking powder, salt, cinnamon, and nutmeg together in a medium bowl.
3. In a separate bowl, whisk the eggs, brown sugar, and milk together until smooth. Add the melted butter and vanilla, whisking until fully combined.
4. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and mix with a rubber spatula until just combined, taking care not to overmix. The batter will be thick.
5. Spoon or pipe the batter into the donut pans, filling about ¾ full. Do not overfill.
6. Bake for 8-10 minutes. The donuts will be light on top and lightly golden on the edges. When you press into the donut with a finger, the donut will bounce back into shape. Transfer to a wire rack to cool completely before topping with glaze.
For the glaze:
1. Whisk together the powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla in a small bowl until completely smooth. Add milk one tablespoon at a time until the desired consistency is reached. Mix in food coloring if desired.
2. When the donuts have cooled to the touch, dip into the glaze, letting the excess drip off. Place on a wire rack, add sprinkles if desired, and allow to dry for at least 30 minutes before serving.

HUGE donut fan here.... And these were exactly what I was expecting. Don't get me wrong, fried donuts are the king of the castle, but these are light, flavorful, and delicious. I've made them a ton and are now a staple of my dessert menu.
