I mean, these pretty much speak for themselves. Look at that crunchy cinnamon sugary topping. Covering a moist, buttermilky, buttery donut. These deserve all the adjectives because they are just comfort in a dessert.

They are baked which means they are healthy, right? Okay, healthy-ish. They are easy, which gives them a big thumbs up in my book. And they are delicious and that’s really the major goal with desserts.

These would be great for a quick go and grab breakfast or an after school snack with a big ‘ol glass of milk. Super easy, give them a go and impress the family.

Gotta add these to your list of treats to bake! Follow me over on Facebook and Instagram @lolosdesserts. Be sure to snap a pic if you make a Lolo’s recipe and tag it with #lolosdesserts. I love to see what you are making!

  1. Halved it, used the full amount of cinnamon and about 1/4 t nutmeg and they were awesome. Easy to modify for food allergies
