Ingredients
  

1 cup all-purpose flour

1/2 cup granulated sugar

1 tsp baking powder

1/2 tsp baking soda

1/4 tsp salt

1 tsp ground cinnamon

1/4 tsp nutmeg (optional)

1 large egg

1/2 cup whole milk

1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted

1 tsp vanilla extract

For the Topping:

1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted (for dipping)

1/4 cup granulated sugar

1 tsp ground cinnamon

Instructions
 

Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a donut pan with cooking spray or butter and set aside.

    Mix Dry Ingredients: In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, and nutmeg until well combined.

      Prepare Wet Ingredients: In a separate bowl, beat the egg. Then, whisk in the milk, melted butter, and vanilla extract until smooth and well incorporated.

        Combine Mixtures: Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and gently fold them together using a spatula until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; a few lumps are okay.

          Fill the Pan: Transfer the donut batter into a piping bag or a ziplock bag with a corner snipped off. Pipe the batter into the prepared donut pan, filling each cavity about 2/3 full.

            Bake the Donuts: Bake in the preheated oven for about 10-12 minutes, or until the donuts spring back when lightly touched.

              Cool the Donuts: Once baked, remove the donuts from the oven and allow them to cool in the pan for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

                Prepare the Cinnamon Sugar Coating: While the donuts are cooling, combine the granulated sugar and ground cinnamon in a shallow bowl for the topping.

                  Coat the Donuts: Once cool, dip each donut into the melted butter, allowing the excess to drip off, then roll it in the cinnamon sugar mixture until fully coated.

                    Serve: Enjoy your delicious Sweet Baked Cinnamon Donuts warm or at room temperature with a cup of coffee or tea.
