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. Finally, I got around to trying it, made adjustments based on what ingredients I had on hand and what I knew my family would eat. And of course, now 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.

Do you think I could make these in a muffin pan or just gently pour/shape the dough into doughnuts? I don’t have a donut pan, and we can’t really justify going out to the store for a want not a need during the COVID 19 shelter at home directive from my state.
Hi, I haven’t tried it but I think using a muffin tin would work. I checked my donut pan against my muffin pan and they both hold the same amount. The cooking time might be slightly different. I will have to give it a try myself. If you try it and it works, let me know! Thanks for the question and stay safe.
