These cozy cinnamon crumb donuts are the ultimate comfort food, perfect for lazy mornings or afternoon indulgence. Baked, not fried, they feature a tender donut base and a buttery cinnamon crumb topping.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup (120g) all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 cup (100g) granulated sugar
  • 1 tsp ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 tsp nutmeg (optional)
  • 1/2 tsp baking powder
  • 1/4 tsp baking soda
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 1/2 cup (120ml) whole milk (or a dairy-free alternative)
  • 1 large egg
  • 2 tbsp (28g) unsalted butter, melted
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1/2 cup (60g) all-purpose flour (for crumb topping)
  • 1/3 cup (70g) brown sugar
  • 1/4 cup (56g) unsalted butter, melted
  • 1 tsp ground cinnamon (for crumb topping)
  • Pinch of salt (for crumb topping)

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease your donut pan with butter or non-stick spray.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
  3. In a separate bowl, whisk together the milk, egg, melted butter, and vanilla extract.
  4. Slowly pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients. Mix until just combined—don’t overmix.
  5. In a small bowl, mix the flour, brown sugar, melted butter, cinnamon, and salt until crumbly.
  6. Spoon the batter into the donut pan, filling each cavity about 2/3 full. Sprinkle the crumb topping generously over each donut.
  7. Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  8. Let the donuts cool in the pan for 5 minutes, then transfer them to a cooling rack.
  9. Enjoy warm or at room temperature with your favorite coffee or tea.

Notes

[‘Don’t overmix the batter to avoid dense donuts.’, ‘Use room temperature milk and egg for smoother batter consistency.’, ‘If you don’t have a donut pan, a muffin tin works well—adjust baking time by 2-3 minutes.’, ‘For an extra cinnamon kick, dust the donuts with cinnamon sugar after baking.’, ‘Store leftover crumb topping in the fridge for up to a week—it’s great on muffins or oatmeal too!’]
