Baked Doughnut Recipe
DOUGHNUTS! Yes, that was in capital letters because I was shouting. I love doughnuts. I won’t even deny it. Recently I’ve actually discovered a love for cake doughnuts. Is that what happens as we get older? I’m not sure but I do know I’ve never met a doughnut I didn’t like. So when I found out there was a baked doughnut recipe, I was thrilled.
Baking is always healthier than frying. And I’m always trying to make tiny changes to make treats just a bit better for us. So when Krista from Everyday Mom’s Meals shared about her new doughnut pan, I was all ears! Now I just need to get my own doughnut pan and get baking!
