These donuts are so simple. So delicious. I will be the first to say that when it comes to donuts, I can be a donut purist: I want a FRIED yeasted or cake donut. I don’t discriminate between the two because sometimes I’m in the mood for one over the other.
But let’s talk about baked donuts. I don’t necessarily think they make up for fried donuts. They really don’t. However! They deserve a spot among all the other desserts. They are simple, taste wonderful, are easily customizable. And my favorite part: I’m not beholden to a pot of hot oil! Because first, I don’t necessarily have time to fry all sorts of things right now. More importantly, I have a little munchkin at my feet. So all the oil freaks me out.
If you’ve never tried making baked donuts, I like to almost say it’s as if you were making muffins. First, the texture is similar! Second, you mix wet into dry, pour the batter into the mold, and bake for around 15 minutes.
All that’s left after that is to whip up your glaze and, well, good luck trying to not eat that with a spoon.
It’s super addictive.
