  1. 1

    Prepare the Oven

    Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a donut pan.

    Mix Dry Ingredients

    In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, cinnamon, and salt.

  3. 3

    Combine Wet Ingredients

    In another bowl, beat the eggs, then add the mashed sweet potato, vanilla extract, milk, and vegetable oil. Mix until well combined.

  4. 4

    Combine Mixtures

    Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. Do not overmix.

    Fill the Donut Pan

    Spoon the batter into the prepared donut pan, filling each cavity about 2/3 full.

  6. 6

    Bake the Donuts

    Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted comes out clean.

  7. 7

    Cool the Donuts

    Allow the donuts to cool in the pan for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
