Cinnamon Baked Doughnuts\

 Baked Cinnamon Donuts - Courtesy of Ty at Elmwood School 

Preheat to 350 degrees.

2 cups flour
3/4 cup sugar
3 teaspoons baking powder
1/4 teaspoon nutmeg (I add about 1/2 teaspoon)
1/4 teaspoon cinnamon (I add 1/2)
1 teaspoon salt

next 3/4 cup milk (I use skim)
2 eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla
1 Tablespoon shortening (I don't bake with shortening, so I substitute 2 tablespoons melted butter alternative- I can't believe, etc. You can use real butter or margarine if you want.)

Once it is all mixed, grease donut pan (I use cooking spray) and fill molds a little over 1/2 way full. Bake for 10-12 minutes. Just like baking a cake, when they spring back, they are done. Place on drying rack to cool. When cool, dip in melted butter ( I lightly brush with melted butter alternative) and then roll in cinnamon sugar (Take sugar and stir in cinnamon until it is the color you want.)

I checked in myfitness pal, 175 calories (sorry not 125)

I always refrigerate the leftovers or they get too soggy the next day.

You can also ice them if that is your thing.
