Baked Doughnuts

A cloudy, windy Saturday morning was the perfect time to try out our new doughnut pan! (After the obligatory Saturday Morning Pancakes, of course!)

We hopped onto Pinterest, where there are all sorts of recipes for baked doughnuts, even ones made with cake mix.  Teresa chose a chocolate recipe, so that's what we tried first.  They are very simple to mix together, much like a muffin, and bake in 12-15 minutes in the doughnut pan.  

 We did find it easiest to cut a hole in the corner of a plastic baggie to pipe the batter into the pan.   I also made a Cinnamon & Sugar Doughnut recipe after our chocolate ones, and that batter was a little thinner and easier to get into the pan. Both baked up and came out of the pan just fine.

 Thankfully these cool quickly, as it was very difficult to wait to decorate them!

 Mine definitely didn't turn out as pretty as the girls' did!
