Cinnamon baked doughnuts

I've had such a rough first week back in work that I needed cheering up, the one thing that helps me to do this is baking. So with my cupboards being empty I ran to Tesco to get some supplies. I love baked doughnuts as they are so quick to make, and once you have a basic recipe you can adapt it to suit all flavour combinations.

I love the taste of cinnamon, not only does it remind me of Christmas (which i've already started preparing for), but it's also such a good flavour of doughnut! I decided to add some chocolate chips to the mixture just because who doesn't love chocolate.
