Miniature Baked Donuts

February 26th, 2013

baked miniature donuts

Recently I’ve really come around to donuts. For someone as sugar crazed as myself, it was kind of my claim to fame that I could actually abstain from a box of fresh donuts. My husband, however is the opposite – if there’s a donut around, he’s eating it. Whether or not it’s a flavor he likes, if it’s been lying out for too long, or if he’s already uncomfortably full, it doesn’t matter to him. Somehow I’ve adopted some of his enthusiasm, so when he suggested we get donuts the other morning, I decided to make them at home, with a slight adjustment. We baked them (much like Fonuts, which I covered here) and made them miniature to minimize their damage (recipe here). They lack the grease and heaviness of regular doughnuts, but for a slightly healthier weekend morning alternative, they’re an ideal complement to coffee.

    It’s crazy that I have just read this post, I only said to my husband this morning that it has been years since I’ve had a donut! I wonder if this is a sign that I must go buy a donut now… ;)

    I’ve never been a big fan of donuts myself, but I think you may have converted me with this post! I love the bite size and cute frosting/sprinkles – perfect for when you want a sweet fix without splurging too much!

    Dear Emily i want to exprime my free think I would like you to someone there at least I answered no particular order .. in the end you are or you are not a blogger .., in this way we interact and even little, just between us, but you virtually do not exist and I do not know if you visit someone else’s blog, but I’ve never gone …. It is not a reproach, but it just seems to you now since you published the book interests you more than us … what have they done up on the success …. I hope you understand the meaning of my comment … and I wish you’d read me because it is also a help for you to keep going!
    I’ll be waiting

    My daughter Abby turned 5 about a week ago, and she said, “Mommy, make it yummy., Mommy, it has to be perfect!, Mommy, you have the ideas yet?” Since she was so excited about turning 5, I wanted to make cute treats. 6 girls slept over at our house, and they all wanted milk. So I took your idea, and put them on the straws. They ate them right when they saw them! They dipped them in the milk, and everything. My daughter said after the party was over, “Mommy, I can’t use anything, so you will have to make those a lot!” Thanks:)
