2 Ingredient Cinnamon Donut Twists

April 25, 2022 by Amy Lee 2 Comments

2 ingredient donuts

You NEED these Cinnamon Donut Twists! Only two ingredients are needed for the dough.

Instant 2 Ingredient Donuts

Donuts are so delicious but would usually take hours to make from making the dough, rising, shaping and frying. These 2 ingredient donuts are basically instant! Two ingredients, a couple of minutes and you have perfectly soft, fluffy donuts to enjoy. Is there anything better?

Eggless Donuts

I always get asked for recipes without eggs! Usually you can substitute eggs in most baking recipes but luckily these 2 Ingredient Donuts don’t require any eggs!

No Yeast Donuts

Bread making can be tricky if you haven’t done it before. It’s easy to destroy the yeast or not get a good rise if you aren’t careful. These donuts require no yeast so even the little ones can get involved!

MY COOKBOOK & KITCHENWARE: https://www.nourishin5.com

Time: Prep Time: 10 minutes | Bake Time: 15 minutes | Total Time: 25 minutes    Serves: 6-8 donut twists

Ingredients

  • 1 cup (180g) of Greek yoghurt or coconut yoghurt
  • 1 cup (150g) of self-raising flour (if using 1 cup plain flour, stir through 2 tsp baking powder)
  • Optional: 1 egg, combined for egg wash
  • 2 tbsp butter or vegan butter, melted
  • 1/4 cup (70g) granulated sugar
  • 1 tsp cinnamon
  • Optional dipping sauce: melted dark chocolate mixed with a little coconut oil

Method

  1. Preheat oven to 170°C/350°F fan force. Stir together yoghurt and flour until combined and a dough texture is formed.
  2. Divide dough into 6 pieces using a knife. Roll each piece into a long rope and twist in opposite directions until rope forms. Press ends together.
  3. Optional step for extra fluffiness: add 2 tbsp of bicarb soda to 300ml of boiling water in a pot, then soak dough for 20 seconds. Drip off any excess water.
  4.  Optional step: brush egg wash over dough.
  5. Bake donuts for about 15 minutes until golden brown.
  6. Coat donuts in melted butter. Combine sugar and cinnamon and then coat donuts in the cinnamon sugar. Best served fresh and optional to serve with chocolate  dipping sauce!

    Question,
    I work at a bed and breakfast, I am wondering if the dough can be made and frozen ahead of time?

      Unfortunately I don’t think so, as it’s not real “Dough” it’s best eaten fresh! x
