After baking, these donuts are brushed with a bit of melted butter or vegetable oil and coated into a cinnamon sugar mixture and then are ready for serving right away.

You can follow this recipe to make different types of donuts. Instead of putting on a coating, you can dip them in various glazes like Nutella, melted chocolate, or caramel, and many more.

How to make Baked Mini Cinnamon Sugar Donuts

Get ready by preheating your oven to 375°F (190°C) and putting parchment paper on a baking sheet.

Prepare the dough by mixing in a big bowl, the flour, baking powder, baking soda, sugar, salt, and cinnamon. Add in buttermilk, oil, and vanilla extract. Stir everything well until it’s smooth.

Put the dough on a surface with a little oil. Use a slightly greased rolling pin to make the dough about ½ inch (1 cm) thick.

Use a donut cutter or a 2.5-inch (6 cm) round cookie cutter to shape the donuts. For the hole in the middle, use a 3/4-inch (2 cm) round cutter. For the dough left, roll it again and keep making more donuts until you use it all up.

Place the donuts on the baking sheet, keeping about 2 inches (5 cm) between them. Bake the donuts for 7-8 minutes. Make sure not to bake them too much – you want them just right.

While the donuts are baking, mix sugar and cinnamon together for the coating. Melt the butter too.

When the donuts are done, brush each one with melted butter and then roll them in the sugar-cinnamon mix.

Now, you’re all set to enjoy your delicious Baked Cinnamon Sugar Donuts!  Hope you will try these out and if you do tag me on Instagram. Enjoy!

The post Easy Baked Chocolate Doughnuts (no yeast, no eggs, no butter)- Easy Chocolate Donuts appeared first on Home Cooking Adventure.

These doughnuts are fried plain, without any filling. I’ve prepared the filling separately, allowing you to customize them with your favorite flavors. Feel free to switch it up with seasonal fruits or get creative with options like chocolate, vanilla pastry cream, caramel, and more.

If you’re looking for a healthier option, you could also consider baking the doughnuts, although the texture may vary slightly.

How to make Apple Doughnuts

Prepare the doughnut dough by whisking together flour, salt, and sugar in a large bowl. In a small bowl, stir fresh yeast with 1 tsp sugar until it liquefies. Dissolve the yeast in 1/4 cup milk and then add it to the flour mixture.

Add the oil, egg, and the remaining milk, then knead until smooth and the dough slightly pulls away from the sides of the bowl. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and let the dough rest for about 1 hour at room temperature until it doubles in size.

How to make apple filling

For the apple filling, place apple pieces, sugar, lemon juice, cinnamon, nutmeg, cloves, and water in a medium saucepan. Cook over medium heat for about 20 minutes or until the apples are soft. Transfer the apples into a bowl and set aside to cool until ready to use.

How to shape the doughnuts

On a floured surface, roll the dough with a rolling pin until it is ½ inch thick. Use a doughnut cutter or a 3-inch round cutter to cut out the doughnuts. Re-roll the remaining dough and continue cutting until no dough is left. Place the doughnuts on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, about 2 inches apart. Cover them with a kitchen towel and let them rest for about 30 minutes.

How to fry doughnuts

In a bowl, mix together sugar and cinnamon. Heat 2 inches of oil in a deep pot or fryer to 320-350°F (160-180°C). Line another baking sheet with paper towels. Once the oil is hot, carefully place 2 or 3 doughnuts at a time upside down and fry until lightly golden brown on the bottom. Flip and fry the other side until golden brown. Remove each doughnut and drain it on paper towels. Repeat until all of the doughnuts are fried.

How to fill the apple doughnuts

While the doughnuts are still hot, toss each one with the cinnamon sugar mixture. Transfer the apple filling into a piping bag fitted with a plain tip. Use a skewer to create a hole on the side of each doughnut, then fill each one with apple filling.

Give these Apple Doughnuts a try—I hope you’ll enjoy making them as much as we did! Don’t forget to tag me in your Instagram posts or stories, so I can see your amazing results. Cheers.
