Cinnamon Roll Donuts

🧂 Ingredients

• 180 g all-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon baking powder
• ¼ teaspoon salt
• 60 g unsalted butter

  melted
• 80 g granulated sugar
• 1 large egg

  room temperature
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 110 g milk

  dairy or non-dairy, room temperature
• 50 g brown sugar
• 1 tablespoon ground cinnamon
• 112 g cream cheese

  softened to room temperature
• 30 g powdered sugar
• ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
• 20 g heavy cream or whipping cream

Instructions

• 1 Prep: Preheat oven to 350°F. Grease a donut pan with cooking spray or oil and
  wipe away the excess. Set aside.
• 2 Mix flour mixture: In a small bowl, stir together flour, baking powder, and
  salt. Set aside.
• 3 Mix wet ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, whisk together melted butter and
  granulated sugar until combined. Add the egg and vanilla extract and whisk until
  combined. Finally, add the milk and whisk until combined.
• 4 Fold in flour mixture: Add the flour mixture and fold it in until just combined.
• 5 Mix cinnamon sugar: In a small bowl, stir together the brown sugar and cinnamon.
• 6 Fold in cinnamon sugar swirl: Sprinkle the cinnamon sugar into the batter. Fold
  it into the batter 1-2 times, just enough to swirl it in but not completely
  mixed. Transfer this batter to a piping bag with the tip cut off.
• 7 Fill pan: Pipe the batter into the donut pan, filling each mold about ¾ full.
• 8 Bake: Bake donuts for 12-14 minutes or until they're puffy and lightly browned
  on the edges. Let the donuts cool in the pan for at least 5 minutes before
  lifting them out and transferring them to a wire rack to cool.
• 9 Mix ingredients: In a medium bowl, add softened cream cheese, powdered sugar,
  and vanilla extract. Use a spatula to smush it together until it becomes very
  smooth and creamy.
• 10 Adjust consistency: Add the heavy cream and stir to mix until the frosting is
  smooth and spreadable. You can add more heavy for a thinner consistency.
• 11 Frost donuts: Use an offset spatula to spread the frosting on top of the warm
  donuts. If the donuts have cooled, reheat them and apply the frosting before
  serving.
