cinnamon streusel donuts

For Christmas last year, my family gave me a donut pan.  I haven't had much chance to use it with moving and having a baby and all, but I'm finally breaking it in.  This recipe has been my favorite donut recipe to date, and you can probably understand why.  A baked donut, covered in cinnamon and brown sugar...can anything outside of chocolate top that?!

These are perfect with a cup of tea, perfect for a breakfast on-the-run, and would even make good muffins (if you don't have a donut pan).

• 1/3 cup sugar
• 2 eggs
• 1/4 cup vegetable oil
• 2 T. plain yogurt
• 1 t. vanilla extract
• 1 cup flour
• 1 t. baking powder
• 1/4 t. salt

For the streusel topping:

• 1/4 cup brown sugar
• 2 T. old-fashioned oats
• 1 T. butter
• 1/2 t. cinnamon

In a bowl, whisk together sugar, eggs, oil, yogurt, and vanilla until smooth.  Gently fold in flour, baking powder, and salt.  Pour batter into a Ziploc bag and cut an opening in one corner.  Grease a donut pan and fill molds with batter by squeezing through the opening in the Ziploc bag.

To make streusel, use a pastry cutter or fork to combine brown sugar, oats, butter, and cinnamon; mixture should resemble coarse crumbs.  Sprinkle streusel over tops of donuts.

Bake donuts at 375 for 9-10 minutes.  You may need to gently press streusel back into the tops of warm donuts.  Makes 6 donuts.
