Soft, fluffy, and lightly spiced, these Powdered Sugar Donuts are baked to perfection and coated in a sweet dusting of powdered sugar. They’re an easy, mess-free alternative to fried donuts and make the perfect breakfast or nostalgic treat any time of day.

Ingredients

2 cups (240 g) all-purpose flour

1/2 cup (100 g) granulated sugar

2 tsp baking powder

1 tsp salt

1/2 tsp ground cinnamon or nutmeg

2 large eggs, room temperature

1/3 cup (79 ml) neutral oil (canola or vegetable)

2 tsp (10 ml) vanilla extract

2/3 cup (158 ml) milk, room temperature

1 cup (120 g) powdered sugar, for coating

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (177°C) and lightly grease one or two six-cavity donut pans.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, salt, and cinnamon (or nutmeg) until well combined.
  3. In another bowl, whisk eggs, oil, vanilla, and milk until smooth.
  4. Pour wet ingredients into dry ingredients and whisk gently until just combined; do not overmix.
  5. Transfer batter to a piping bag or ziplock bag with the corner snipped and pipe into donut cavities, filling each about three-quarters full.
  6. Bake for 10–12 minutes, or until donuts spring back lightly when touched.
  7. Cool in the pan for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack.
  8. While still warm, place each donut in a ziplock bag with powdered sugar, seal, and shake gently until coated. Repeat with remaining donuts.

Notes

Coat donuts while they’re slightly warm for best adherence.

Use a mini muffin pan to make donut holes; bake 8–10 minutes.

Add nutmeg, pumpkin spice, or lemon zest for flavor variations.

Double-dip in powdered sugar for a thicker, sweeter coating.

Store at room temperature up to 2 days; recoat with powdered sugar before serving.
