How to Make Baked Donuts

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a donut pan with paper liners or grease it well with vegetable oil spray.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
  3. In a separate bowl, whisk together the milk, egg, melted butter, and vanilla extract.
  4. Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, mixing until just combined. Do not overmix.
  5. Fill each donut cup about 2/3 full with the batter.
  6. Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  7. Let the donuts cool in the pan for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
  8. Once cooled, drizzle with your favorite glaze or sprinkle with toppings and enjoy!
