Ditch the deep fryer and make this Baked Donuts Recipe instead! It’s so quick and easy and makes light, fluffy, cakey donuts perfect for breakfast or dessert. Pick your favorite icing, top with sprinkles, and dig in!
Ever get a relentless craving for donuts but don’t feel like a run to the donut shop for deep-fried treats (or attempting to deep fry your own)? Or perhaps you want to indulge, but in a slightly more healthy way? These baked versions are the perfect solution. They are so quick and easy to make and are just as good as (albeit different than) traditional donuts.
These homemade donuts are super light and fluffy, and they have this glorious cakey texture that sets them apart from traditional donuts. So satisfying. I love that they are so easy to customize with various glazes/icings and toppings. In our house, the chocolate icing was the biggest hit. I can’t wait to hear yours!
