By Sammi Smith

Quick, easy, and delicious baked donuts. 

Ingredients:

French Toast Donuts

  • 2 cups all purpose flour
  • 1 tsp ground cinnamon
  • ¼ tsp nutmeg
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 2 tsp baking powder
  • 2 tsp maple extract
  • 2 eggs
  • 1 cup packed brown sugar
  • ⅔ cup buttermilk
  • 2 tbsp melted butter

Bourbon Sugar

  • 1 tsp bourbon
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • ¼ cup melted butter

Instructions:

French Toast Donuts

  1. Pre-heat oven to 350°F. Spray a 12-count donut pan and use a paper towel to distribute oil evenly. Set aside.
  2. In a large bowl combine the flour, cinnamon, nutmeg, salt and baking powder.
  3. In a separate medium bowl, combine the maple extract, eggs, sugar, buttermilk and melted butter.
  4. Mix the wet ingredients into the dry and combine until smooth.
  5. Spoon mixture into a ziplock or pastry bag and squeeze into the donut pan cavities. Don't fill more than ⅔ full.
  6. Bake for 8-10 minutes, donuts will spring back when touched when they are ready.
  7. Allow to cool 10 minutes in the pan before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.

Bourbon sugar

  1. While donuts are cooling, combine bourbon and sugar in a container with a lid, and shake for a minute, or until they are completely combined.
  2. Brush donuts with melted butter, then dip them into the bourbon sugar.
  3. Donuts will last in a sealed container for up to 3 days (if you can last that long!)
