The workshop is cranking out crafts and handmade gifts, the kitchen is testing a couple of new recipes…and we need a few elves to help us clean up the messes that we’ve created š
This week we have teamed up with four other bloggers so that you’ll receive five times the inspiration! Each day this week we will showcase a different theme…and today is recipes!!

ā¦good Pure Vanilla Extract.
ā¦and fragrant spices.
Here’s how we made them:
Ingredients
- Baker's Joy baking spray
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 1/2 cups sugar
- 2 tsp baking powder
- 1 tsp ground cinnamon
- 1/2 tsp ground nutmeg
- 1/2 tsp kosher salt
- 1 extra large egg beaten
- 2 tsp pure vanilla extract
- 2 TBS unsalted butter, melted
- 1 1/4 cups whole milk
- 8 TBS unsalted butter
- 1/2 cup sugar
- 1/2 tsp ground cinnamon
Instructions
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Spray 2 donut pans well.
In a large bowl, sift together the flour, sugar, baking powder, cinnamon, nutmeg and salt. In a small bowl, whisk together the egg, milk, melted butter and vanilla. Stir in the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients just until combined - do not over-mix.
Spoon the batter into the balking pans, filling each cup a little more that 3/4 full. Bake for 17 minutes, until a toothpick comes out clean.
Allow to cool for 5 minutes, then tap the donuts out onto a sheet pan.
For the topping, melt the 8 TBS of butter in an 8 inch sautƩ pan. Combine the sugar and cinnamon in a bowl. Dip each donut first in the butter and then in the cinnamon sugar, either one side or both sides per your preference.

These are special donut pans that allow you to bake the donuts instead of the traditional fryingā¦therefore creating a healthy donut, right š
If your family is anything like ours you love special treats throughout the Christmas season.
Here are the donuts fresh out of the oven!

We definitely give ourselves permission to indulge at this time of year. One of our favorites is baked sweets…and in this case Baked Cinnamon Donuts. These donuts are ideal because they are great as a breakfast treat or as a dessert. We especially like them with a cup so steaming hot coffee or with rich hot chocolate topped with whipped cream!
Do you indulge during the Christmas season? Ā What is your favorite treat? As you can seeā¦someone couldn’t wait to delve into this baked goodness!

Oh my goodness, these look so good!! I need a donut pan so I can make “healthy” donuts too!!
Hey Amy! Thanks so much – we were fortunate enough to have a friend that gave us her donut pan. Prior to that I looked online and the least expensive was Walmart. Couldn’t find them in any stores. But it’s worth it for these “healthy” donuts LOL.
These look amazing! I can’t wait to try this recipe. You had me at healthy and donut! Yum!
Thanks CoCoā¦these are delicious and fragrant. They aren’t very healthy after you eat three of them in one sitting š
These donuts are the best…i can say that because I have personally tasted them!
Thanks Honey!!

Oh, I am making these soon! But a question for you – I’ve never seen a donut pan before (and obviously I don’t own one.) Can these be made in a muffin tin instead? What do you suggest as a pan substitution, please? Thanks!
