by creative culinary
My new toy; a doughnut pan, combined with a new bottle of Baileys Salted Caramel Liqueur were my inspiration and while I first thought of making a coffee based cocktail with the liqueur I have to say that the resulting Baileys Salted Caramel and Espresso Baked Doughnuts are even better. Almost too good to be called breakfast, we had them for dessert!

by izy hossack - top with cinnamon
The batter for these babies comes together in about 5 minutes with just a spoon and a bowl, basically. Couple that with the fact that they don’t require rising time means that they’re super speedy to make. I went for a pairing of wild blueberries and coconut in the batter with a simple glaze. Those juicy bursts of blueberry definitely brought the doughnuts to the next level

Need a crazy good holiday breakfast recipe? If you miss Krispy Kreme, you might find these kind of the same only different. The dough is not as light, and they are baked, not fried, but they are so very similar to that Krispy Kreme flavor that we ate a whole batch the first time we baked these maple twisty donuts.

by buns in my oven
One big note about these donuts…that marshmallow glaze is a sticky, gooey, delightful mess. I made my kids eat their donuts with a fork, which they found to be very eye-roll inducing. The glaze never really hardens, so keep in mind that these are a treat best served with plenty of wet napkins and, if you can manage it, a bib.

by chocolate chilli mango
These doughnuts are soft and full of banana and brown sugar goodness. The Nutella glaze just tips them over the edge of insanely delicious. If you are not a fan of Nutella, you can substitute almond or peanut butter for the Nutella in the glaze. Add a dash of cinnamon and you have an amazing variation.

I used a cake donut recipe and poked a bunch of holes in said donuts and covered them in a fabulous, sugary glaze. Just like tres leches cake, you can add rum or bourbon to this glaze.
