1
Preheat your oven to 425 degrees Fahrenheit and grease a donut pan with canola oil baking spray.
2
In a large bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, 3/4 cup white sugar, baking powder, 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon, ground nutmeg, and sea salt.
3
In another bowl, combine the low-fat buttermilk, eggs, and 2 tablespoons canola oil, whisking them together with a fork.
4
Pour wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, and mix gently until just combined, avoiding over-mixing as it may result in tough and dry donuts.
5
Using a spoon, fill each greased donut cup halfway with batter. The batter will rise significantly, so avoid overfilling.
6
Bake the donuts at 425 degrees Fahrenheit for 7-9 minutes, or until they slightly brown on the tops and spring back to the touch.
7
Repeat the baking process for the remaining batter and allow the donuts to cool slightly before removing them from the pan.
8
In a small bowl, mix the remaining 1/4 cup white sugar and 2 teaspoons cinnamon for coating.
9
While the donuts are still warm to the touch, dip each side into the cinnamon sugar mixture, coating them generously. Transfer the coated donuts to a cooling rack to cool completely.
