Oh, these are so good! Simple and delicious, that is what I like. This Baked Buttermilk Donuts with Cinnamon Sugar recipe is simple enough to make any morning of the week.
My family loves donuts, but stopping at the donut shop is not always an option. These Baked Buttermilk Donuts are light and airy. A perfect breakfast or snack.

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.
