- Once done take out and let cool completely.

- Brush each donut (front and back) with your melted butter, and then toss your donut into your cinnamon sugar mixture (Both sides).
- Eat fresh and enjoy!
Notes
NOTE: A stand mixer is not at all required but just makes mixing so much easier!
Storage Instructions: The donuts are best enjoyed fresh, but you can store them in an airtight container for 3-4 days in the fridge. You can also freeze them in a ziploc bag and let thaw in the fridge when you're ready to eat them.
If you are looking for an even healthier option, try the following substitutions:
- Swap the all purpose flour with equal parts oat flour or almond flour
- Swap the granulated sugar with equal parts coconut sugar
