- 1/4 tsp cinnamon

Step-by-step instructions:
1. Cut the donuts in half horizontally and set aside.

3. In a mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, maple syrup, vanilla extract, cinnamon, and salt until well combined.
4. Dip each donut half into the egg mixture, making sure to coat both sides.
5. Melt a tablespoon of butter in the skillet over medium heat. Place the donut halves in the skillet and cook until golden brown on both sides, about 2-3 minutes per side.
