Ingredients
Scale
- Batter:
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1/4 cup brown sugar, packed
- 2 large eggs
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup sourdough discard (unfed)
- 1/2 cup sour cream or Greek yogurt
- 1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/2 tsp baking soda
- 1/4 tsp salt
- Cinnamon Swirl:
- 1/4 cup brown sugar
- 1 tsp ground cinnamon
- Brown Butter Glaze:
- 1/4 cup unsalted butter
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 1–2 tbsp milk
- 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a mini bundt pan well.
- Brown the butter in a saucepan over medium heat until golden and fragrant. Let cool slightly.
- In a mixing bowl, beat browned butter with granulated and brown sugars. Add eggs and vanilla; mix until smooth.
- Mix in sourdough discard and sour cream until combined.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda, and salt. Add to the wet mixture and stir until just combined.
- Mix brown sugar and cinnamon for the swirl. Layer batter and cinnamon mixture in the bundt wells, swirling lightly.
- Bake for 18–22 minutes, or until a toothpick comes out clean. Cool in pan for 10 minutes, then remove to a rack to cool completely.
- For the glaze: brown the butter again, then whisk with powdered sugar, vanilla, and milk until pourable. Drizzle over cooled cinnabundts.
Notes
- Best served slightly warm or at room temperature.
- Store in an airtight container for up to 3 days, or freeze for longer storage.
- Add a pinch of cardamom or nutmeg to the cinnamon swirl for extra depth.
