Tessa’s Recipe Rundown
Taste: These donuts have a lovely warm sweetness thanks to the cinnamon and maple, unlike some donuts (cough, Krispy Kreme, cough) that just taste sickly sweet.
Texture: Despite being baked from a batter, these donuts still manage to be light and fluffy.
Ease: VERY simple, much more simple than even the first step of any yeast-based donut recipe that requires deep frying.
Pros: Just as tasty as fried donuts.
Cons: They are best eaten the day they are baked, so no leftovers.
Would I make this again? I’ve already made these donuts twice!

Even though I love the aroma and taste of cinnamon year-round, there’s nothing quite like that spiced sweetness in the fall. So these Maple Cinnamon Sugar Baked Donuts hit every mark for a delightful fall treat.
Not only are these Maple Cinnamon Sugar Baked Donuts a perfect fall treat, they are particularly fabulous for breakfast. The donuts themselves use yogurt instead of a ton of oil for richness, and maple syrup instead of refined sugar for sweetness. Then they’re dipped in cinnamon sugar for that burst of flavor and crunchy texture.
When Jared first bit into these he exclaimed, “These taste like breakfast!”

My favorite part about them is that they take just 30 minutes from start to finish. Of course, they don’t quite have the same amazing texture as yeast-raised donuts that are fried, but they’re so much quicker and easier. And no mess to clean up after!
