These brown butter eggnog snickerdoodle donuts are insane! So light and fluffy; baked eggnog donuts are coated in cinnamon sugar and finished off with an eggnog glaze. The perfect way to kick off this holiday season! Recipe courtesy of Baker By Nature.
In a large bowl whisk together the dry ingredients. In a separate bowl whisk together the eggnog, browned butter, and egg.
Gently fold the wet mixture into the dry mixture - don't over mix!
Spoon mixture into prepared doughnut pan, and bake for 10-11 minutes, or until the doughnuts spring back when lightly pressed. Allow doughnuts to cool a few minutes in the pan before transferring to a wire wrack to cool for a few more minutes.
In the meantime, melt the butter for the snickerdoodle coating; set aside.
Mix the sugar and cinnamon together in a medium-sized bowl; set aside.
In a small bowl combine the confectioners sugar, eggnog, and salt; whisk smooth. The glaze should be thick but easily pourable; add more eggnog/sugar as needed.
Once the donuts are cool enough to handle, dip them in the melted butter, then roll them in the cinnamon sugar mixture; repeat until all donuts have been covered.
Drizzle a swirl of eggnog glaze on each donut and serve! These are best eaten the day they are made.
