Baked Eggnog Donuts

I never grew up drinking eggnog, but our friends introduced us to the drink & now our family is kind of obsessed with Eggnog at the holidays. We love it so much, that we have had fun experimenting & trying different recipes with eggnog. We love Eggnog pancakes as an easy way to add a little extra flavor, but our new favorite are these Eggnog Donuts.

These donuts are easy to make & a recipe that kids could help you make as well. They are nice & soft & fluffy & they have eggnog in both the donuts & the icing to give you some great flavor!  You just need two bowls as you mix the ingredients separately first between wet & dry ingredients & then combine them to make your dough. Kids will love helping with rolling out the dough & making the doughnut shapes, too.

Once they are out of the oven and cooled, then you can dip the donuts in the eggnog-flavored glaze & add sprinkles. These are sure to put some fun in your mornings with these delicious donuts for a perfect winter treat!

Eggnog Donuts:

Ingredients:

Donuts:

• 1½ cup All-purpose flour
• ½ cup Granulated sugar
• 1 tsp. Baking powder
• ½ tsp. Baking soda
• ¼ tsp. Ground cinnamon 
• ½ tsp. Salt
• ¾ cup Eggnog
• 1 Egg- beaten 
• 2 Tbsp. Butter- melted

Icing:

• ¾ cup Powdered sugar
• 1 tsp Ground cinnamon
• 2 Tbsp. Eggnog
• ½ tsp. Vanilla extract

Directions:

Preheat oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit.

Whisk the flour, sugar, baking soda, baking powder, cinnamon and salt in a large mixing bowl.

In a separate bowl, whisk together the wet ingredients (eggnog, egg and melted butter).

Pour the wet ingredients into the dry and fold together until just combined.

Once a dough has formed, place half of the dough on a generously floured surface.

Roll out until ½ inch thick.

Cut out donut shapes with a 3 inch round cookie cutter and a 1 inch round cookie cutter (the 1 inch in the center of the 3 inch circle cut out).

Place onto a baking sheet prepared with parchment paper.

Bake for 8- 12 minutes, flipping the donuts half way through baking.

Donuts will be golden brown when done cooking.

Repeat the process for cutting out and baking the remaining dough.

Icing instructions:

For the icing, add in all of the ingredients into a medium mixing bowl.

Whisk until well combined and is a thin consistency.

Once the donuts are cooled, dip the top half of the donut into the icing.

Place donut back onto the baking sheet.

If you would like to decorate with sprinkles, add them while the icing is still wet.

Allow icing to set.

Serve and enjoy!
