I am always looking for new, exciting foods to serve my family for breakfast. Marty leaves for work very early in the morning and the bus schedule for the kids attending three different schools gets pretty crazy too. It's always handy to have something that's easy for the kids to grab on their own and that Marty can munch on in the car. Typically my go to idea is muffins. Our entire family loves muffins of any and every kind, but I've been on the quest to find something new and delicious. When I found this recipe I was so excited, it didn't have any pictures with it but just reading through the ingredients and directions on how to prepare these, I knew they would be a huge hit with everyone.
As I said in my last post, my friend Sarah and I have spent alot of time together in the kitchen preparing for Valentine's day. One evening as we were waiting for the cookies to cool, she and I decided to bake these doughnuts for our families. We baked several batches and had plenty to send a platter with Marty to work. From what I was told, a few of the guys enjoyed more than a couple of yummy doughnuts. The platter came home empty and the guys apparently went home full. Try this fantastic recipe for baked doughnuts and see if these are a huge hit with your family too. They're definitely going to make a regular appearance in our home.
From the heart of my kitchen to yours, may your experience be fun and the food always flavorful. Enjoy!

I had so much fun making these with you!! Thanks for sharing your kitchen (and recipe)!
These sound great! I have a little pan for baking doughnuts and have been looking at a recipe in light and healthy recently - but these could be the ticket!
These look really good! They look a lot like the doughnuts you would get at Smokey Bones (but can't now that they are closed) I can't wait to try them!
Yum. Who can argue with these? What fun to bake with a friend.
Those look so yummy! Can you just deliver some to my house??? xo
These look very yummy. I'm going to add these to my "want to try" file.
Since you mentioned that you make a lot of muffins, I wonder if you would share some of your favorites on here sometime? I would love it!

These doughnuts were absolutely delicious! I could not stop eating them!
a neighbor brought these to me when I had our 2nd child--she is now 31! So I guess I have been baking these for 31 years! They are the most requested recipe when my children and grandchildren come to visit.I have spent the last 30 minutes enjoying your blog--so many good recipes to try. Thanks
