Prep Time: 15 mins
Cook Time: 15 mins
Total Time: 30 mins
Cuisine: American
Serves: 12 donuts
Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 cup sugar
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
- 2 large eggs
- 1 cup milk
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup brown sugar
- 1 tablespoon cinnamon
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a standard donut pan with non-stick cooking spray or butter to prevent sticking.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt. Whisk the dry ingredients together until well blended.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the melted unsalted butter, eggs, milk, and vanilla extract until smooth and fully combined.
- Pour the wet ingredients into the bowl of dry ingredients. Gently fold the mixture together using a spatula or wooden spoon until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; a few lumps are okay.
- In a small bowl, mix together the brown sugar and cinnamon to create the crumb topping.
- Fill each donut cavity in the pan about halfway with the batter. Sprinkle a generous amount of the cinnamon-brown sugar mixture over the batter in each cavity.
- Top each cavity with more batter until they are about 3/4 full. Use the remaining cinnamon-brown sugar mixture to sprinkle on top of the filled donut cavities.
- Bake the donuts in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Once baked, remove the donuts from the oven and allow them to cool in the pan for about 5 minutes. Then, carefully transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.
- Serve the Coffee Cake Crumb Donuts warm or at room temperature. Enjoy your delicious homemade treats!
Tips
- Don’t Overmix: When combining the wet and dry ingredients, mix just until combined. Overmixing can lead to dense donuts instead of fluffy ones.
- Customize Your Topping: Feel free to experiment with the crumb topping! Add chopped nuts or chocolate chips for an extra layer of flavor and texture.
- Check for Doneness: Ovens can vary, so keep an eye on your donuts as they bake. A toothpick should come out clean when they’re ready.
- Cool Properly: Allow the donuts to cool in the pan for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack. This helps them set and prevents them from breaking apart.
- Storage: Store any leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days. For longer freshness, you can freeze them and reheat in the oven when you're ready to enjoy!
