Cinnamon Sugar Donuts Baked In The Oven
Delicious homemade donuts baked in the oven then coated with cinnamon and sugar!

Recipe Inspiration
A typical weekend at my house = a house full of kids! Between the three of my own, there is always at least one of them who has a friend spending the night. Which I just love. I always dreamed that my house would be the hangout spot. A safe, inviting space filled with lots of laughter…and rules. Of course, there has to be rules.
A house full of kids = I need a lot of food! Just this past weekend (2 nights of sleepovers) I made, homemade cinnamon sugar donuts, biscuits with gravy and sausage, and bacon, egg and cheese biscuit sandwiches! HA!
