Baked Orange Donuts With Cinnamon Sugar
These Baked Orange Donuts with Cinnamon Sugar started out as completely different recipe. They were going to be some sort of, possibly complex, baked Nutella Swirl Donuts.
So I made up the buttermilk, got all the ingredients ready and whacked the Nutella in the microwave to get it oooey gooey melty swilling perfect. Folks, I was organised. And then I made the mistake of dipping a teaspoon into the Nutella, Then a second one, then a third. And before I knew it, the Nutella was ALL gone. Greedy happy me.
Folks, I am not ashamed to say that I did have a ‘oh crap what have I done’ 5 mins of panic. Which was swiftly replaced by a ‘I have got doughnut ingredients out so I WILL make donuts’ hyper phase. Which was obviously followed by a mad rush through the store cupboard to find ingredients to replace the nutella donuts idea.
In the middle of my escalating self-induced panic, I spot the one and only remaining orange at the bottom of the fruit bowl. Folks, I actually shouted out hallelujah in my excitement.
And so, the Orange Donuts were born.

Orange Donut Variations
So baked orange donuts it was and they are as simple as it sounds, aka add some lovely orange zest to my standard baked donut recipe and cover them in some cinnamon sugar.
- To be honest you can do without the cinnamon sugar (my oldest prefers this) but it does add something rather special to the donuts (my youngest prefers).
- You can swap the orange zest for come other citrus zest in this baked donuts recipe.
Cinnamon Sugar Tips
- Use regular sugar not powdered sugar.
- Feel free to add more cinnamon to taste.
