Indulge your sweet tooth with these irresistibly fluffy and golden Baked Sugar Doughnuts, a lighter twist on the classic fried treat! Made with everyday pantry staples like all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, and a hint of vanilla, these oven-baked delights come together in just 25 minutes from start to finish. Each doughnut is brushed with melted butter and coated generously in sugar for that iconic, melt-in-your-mouth finish—no deep fryer required. Perfect for breakfast, an afternoon pick-me-up, or a party spread, these baked doughnuts are soft, tender, and just the right amount of sweet. Enjoy them warm or save them for later; they're a guaranteed crowd-pleaser that’s simple to whip up and easy to love.
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and lightly grease a doughnut pan with non-stick spray or melted butter.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, and salt until well combined.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the milk, melted butter, egg, and vanilla extract.
Gradually pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, stirring gently until just combined. Avoid overmixing.
Spoon or pipe the batter evenly into the prepared doughnut pan, filling each cavity about 2/3 full.
Bake the doughnuts in the preheated oven for 9-10 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. The doughnuts should be lightly golden.
Remove the pan from the oven and let the doughnuts cool in the pan for 5 minutes. Then carefully transfer them to a wire rack to cool slightly.
While the doughnuts are still warm, brush each one lightly with melted butter and then roll them in granulated sugar until fully coated.
Serve immediately or store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days.
