Donut Ingredients
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour Standard flour for donuts
  • 1 cup sugar Granulated sugar
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder Leavening agent
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon Adds flavor
  • 1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted For richness
  • 1 large egg Room temperature for better mixing
  • 1/2 cup milk Room temperature
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract For flavor
Maple Glaze Ingredients
  • 1 cup powdered sugar For the glaze
  • 3 tablespoons maple syrup Adjust sweetness according to taste

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and grease your donut pan.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, sugar, baking powder, salt, and ground cinnamon. Stir until blended.
  3. In another bowl, whisk together the melted butter, egg, milk, and vanilla extract until well combined.
  4. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry mixture and stir gently until just combined.
  5. Transfer the batter to a piping bag or a ziplock bag and pipe into the donut pan, filling each cavity halfway.
Baking
  1. Bake the donuts for about 10-12 minutes, until golden and a toothpick comes out clean.
Glazing
  1. While the donuts cool, whisk together the powdered sugar and maple syrup until smooth.
  2. Dip the tops of each donut into the glaze and let excess drip off.
  3. Allow the glazed donuts to rest on a cooling rack to set before serving.

Notes

For egg-free donuts, substitute the egg with 1 mashed banana or 1 tablespoon ground flaxseed mixed with 3 tablespoons water. Store leftovers in an airtight container for 1-2 days at room temperature, or refrigerate for up to a week. Reheat in the microwave for 10-15 seconds or in an oven.
