These are so cute and delicious. The donuts are so moist and taste just like cinnamon rolls (maybe even better!). This easy recipe is from bunsinmyoven.com. Let’s get baking!

- 1 cup flour
- 1/4 cup plus 2 tablespoons white sugar

- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 1/2 teaspoon canola or vegetable oil
FOT THE TOPPING:
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 2 teaspoons cinnamon
- 5 tablespoons brown sugar
- 1 teaspoons milk
- 1 teaspoon cornstarch
