Cinnamon Sugar Baked Donuts
I mean, these pretty much speak for themselves. Look at that crunchy cinnamon sugary topping. Covering a moist, buttermilky, buttery donut. These deserve all the adjectives because they are just comfort in a dessert.
They are baked which means they are healthy, right? Okay, healthy-ish. They are easy, which gives them a big thumbs up in my book. And they are delicious and that’s really the major goal with desserts.
These would be great for a quick go and grab breakfast or an after school snack with a big ‘ol glass of milk. Super easy, give them a go and impress the family.
Gotta add these to your list of treats to bake! Follow me over on Facebook and Instagram @lolosdesserts. Be sure to snap a pic if you make a Lolo’s recipe and tag it with #lolosdesserts. I love to see what you are making!
