Week 2 Lesson Baked Cinnamon Sugar Donuts

MThis week the kids had so much fun creating and making donuts that are not fried, but baked! I told the kids these donuts could be made gluten free by simply using gluten free all purpose flour or by using oat flour. The kids were introduced to tablespoons vs teaspoons as well as measuring liquid ingredients in a liquid measuring cup and dry ingredients in regular cups. For this recipe we used two separate bowls. One for dry ingredients and one for our wet ingredients. The kids were taught how to fold in the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients. They learned not to over mix the dough. The kids were also introduced to pastry brushes, they had fun using them. I explained to the kids that coconut oil can be used vs. butter. I also told the kids they can use cupcake tins or use the pastry bag and make round circles directly onto parchment paper. Hope you enjoy making them as much as we did.
