Delicious Baked Donuts: A Healthier Version of a Beloved Classic

These baked donuts offer a delicious alternative to traditional fried versions. Made with a tender, cake-like dough and infused with a hint of vanilla, these donuts are a perfect treat any time of day. Light and fluffy, with just the right touch of sweetness, they're designed to satisfy your donut cravings without the added oil of frying.

Why you will love it

What's not to love about a donut that's both delicious and slightly healthier? These donuts skip the fryer and instead opt for baking, which reduces fat without compromising flavor or texture. The combination of sunflower oil and butter in the dough makes these fritters wonderfully moist and rich.

Perfect opportunity

These baked donuts are perfect for breakfast, brunch or as a snack during a cozy gathering at home. They are also a fantastic choice for children's parties or as a homemade treat to take into the office and impress your colleagues.

Decorating Tips

After cooking, you can enhance these donuts with various toppings. Dip them in a simple frosting made with icing sugar and milk, then garnish with sprinkles for a festive touch. Alternatively, a dusting of powdered sugar or a drizzle of chocolate can make them irresistibly appealing.
