Instructions
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F and grease the donut pan real good with butter or cooking spray. This just makes sure your donuts slide right out after baking.
- Grab a big bowl and mix the flour, brown sugar, baking soda, baking powder, and salt. Stir it all up so the flavors get to know each other.
- In another bowl, whisk together the egg, yogurt, vegetable oil, milk, and vanilla extract. Whisk until it’s smooth and kinda silky.
- Pour the wet stuff into the dry ingredients. Go gentle here don't over mix cause you want your donuts light and fluffy, not tough.
- Spoon your batter into the donut pan and fill each cavity about two-thirds full. This way they rise just right without spilling over.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 10 to 12 minutes. Use a toothpick to check; if it comes out clean you’re golden.
- Let the donuts cool just a bit so they’re warm and easy to handle, not too hot or they’ll fall apart.
- Roll the warm donuts in a butter then cinnamon sugar mix. The butter helps that cinnamon sugar stick real good giving you that perfect sweet crunch outside with soft inside.
