These baked and glazed donuts are a better alternative to the fried ones for someone who enjoys eating donuts for breakfast.
I’ve never met anyone who didn’t like donuts. Donuts come is a variety of flavors and shapes. From small to large, there is a donut for everyone. I decided to make some donuts of my own.
If you don’t feel like going to your local donut shop it’s okay. These donuts are easy to make and only require two mixing bowls. With the Farmer’s Market season in full swing this is a great time to use fresh and local fruits in your baking. These donuts will be perfect for the Father or graduate in your life or any day you want donuts for breakfast.
