Instructions
How to Make Cinnamon Roll Donuts
- Begin by preheating the oven to 350. Grease your silicone donut hole molds with non-stick baking spray and place them onto a cookie sheet.
- In a large mixing bowl, use a fork or spoon to mix the milk, melted butter, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and vanilla together. Then, add the flour and mix until a smooth batter forms. In a separate small mixing bowl, combine the cinnamon and brown sugar together. Fold it into the batter so that there are cinnamn swirls in the batter.
- Fill each silicone donut hole mold about ⅔ to ¾ of the way full with the cinnamon roll donut batter. Bake the donut holes in the oven for 20 minutes or until they are golden. Remove from the oven and allow them to cool on a wire rack.
- While the donuts cool, make your cream cheese frosting by mixing the powdered sugar, butter, vanilla, and cream cheese together with a whisk or electric hand mixer. Frost your donuts holes and enjoy.
