This is an adapted version of a recipe I found in an old magazine. You know, one of those recipes you tear out and stick in a drawer, and then forget about for years!

Finally, I got around to trying it, but I had to make some adjustments based on what ingredients I had on hand. And what I knew my family would eat.

Of course, after all this time, I don't know what magazine it was. My best guess would be Rachel Ray magazine or Cooking Light. I definitely want to give them credit, because we truly love this recipe.

I hope you enjoy this recipe for Baked Buttermilk Donuts with Cinnamon Sugar as much as we do.

Tips / FAQ's

• The donut pan I use is 3.5" inches in diameter and makes 6 donuts.
• My pan holds a maximum of ⅓ cup of batter.
• I fill each donut mold all the way to the top. If you prefer not to do this, you could get a couple more donuts out of each recipe.
• If you would like to use this recipe to make muffins I would suggest the jumbo muffin pan, or make more than 6 regular size muffins. I have not tried this myself yet, but I will update my post when I do.
• If you do use a muffin pan, or any different size pan than what I use in this recipe, you might want to adjust the baking time accordingly.
