I have been wanting to make these little babies since the first time i saw it online. I used to love doughnuts a lot. In fact, I still love it but i hardly eat them now because these pretty looking devils are actually deep fried. Upon seeing "baked doughnuts", I know i definitely have to give this recipe a try. Furthermore, it has my favorite cinnamon topping which reminds me of my favorite cinnamon sugar pretzel from auntie annes! These baked cinnamon doughnuts are a combination of my two favorite food! Unfortunately, my family isn't a fan of cinnamon. They can't share my excitement with me. Well i thought these little "doughnuts" tasted more like muffin instead and they were slightly dry. Perhaps i'll add more butter the next time i make these.
