Baked Donut Recipe(3 ways)

I love a good donut, nothing is better than a delicious, soft donut. I tend to prefer a good baked donut recipe. 

Donuts are so versatile. You can create just about any flavour with them and that is why I love them. But sometimes the fried ones aren’t always my favourite. Since I started experimenting with the baked donut recipe, I discovered the delicious difference.

I was real excited about this baked donut recipe because I found 3 amazing baked donuts and I just couldn’t pick one. I thought it would be perfect to assemble all 3 flavours into one post for you guys.

Although all three recipes are amazing. I have my favourite one. It’s the banana bread donut. They are super moist and filled with spices, they remind me so much of banana bread(I do have a recipe, click here).  My second favourite is the cinnamon sugar ones. But they are all amazingly perfect.

I hope you guys enjoy the recipe.

Let’s get into it.
