After seeing donuts absolutely everywhere on social media I just had to get around this trend, and as you can see they did not disappoint!
A baked doughnut is never going to be the same as a deep fried sugar coated doguhnut, BUT that definitely does not mean these are any less delicious! These are a fantastic option for a kids party, or like me, an adults party aka me on the couch with a pot of tea and a whole batch of these babies.
Topping options are endless but really, you can never go past sprinkles. I found some all natural chocolate sprinkles at my local supermarket so definitely worth having a look. You could obviously skip the icing, but really where is the fun in that? I really hope you all love these as much as I do!
