Ingredients

Doughnut batter:

3 tbsp unsalted butter melted
1 cup all-purpose flour
1 tsp baking powder
¼ tsp salt
¼ cup granulated sugar
2 tbsp honey
1 large egg
½ tsp vanilla extract
1 tsp ground cinnamon
1/3 cup + 1 tbsp buttermilk
1 tsp ground cinnamon
3 tbsp brown sugar
2 tbsp crushed pecans

Glaze:

56 g cream cheese room temperature
1/3 cup confectioner’s sugar
1 tbsp milk

Instructions

Make the doughnuts: Whisk together the flour, baking powder, salt and cinnamon in a small bowl and set aside. In a large bowl, combine the butter, sugar, honey, egg and vanilla extract. Add the buttermilk and mix until combined. Add the dry ingredients and mix until just combined – make sure not to overmix. Transfer the batter to a piping bag. In a separate bowl, combine the ground cinnamon, brown sugar and crushed pecans.
Fill a greased doughnut pan halfway with the batter. Sprinkle the sugar mixture onto the doughnuts, then top with another layer of batter.
Bake at 400F for 7 minutes. Cool for 1 minute in the pan, then flip the pan over to remove the doughnuts and cool completely on a wire rack.
Make the glaze: Cream the cream cheese in a bowl with an electric mixer until fluffy. Add the confectioner’s sugar and milk and mix until combined. Dunk the doughnuts into the glaze and transfer to a wire rack. Enjoy!
