Beautifully Baked Donuts with a Chocolate Frosting Glaze

These baked donuts with a chocolate frosting glaze are not only beautiful to look at, they are so fluffy and tasty too! 

Last weekend, we celebrated my daughter’s 7th birthday and she requested some of my famous baked donuts for breakfast, the ones with chocolate frosting she says.

How could I resist? These baked donuts with a chocolate frosting glaze are so easy to make and can be whipped up in less than 30 minutes.

Last week, I shared my donut recipe for baked cinnamon sugar pumpkin spice donuts. They were amazing, so light and fluffy! This was the first recipe since my purchase of the Wilton donut pans. If you have been considering getting some of these, do it! 

You can make impressive donuts for your family, bring them to work for your co-workers to brag about. It’s great to be able to make donuts, in no time at all, with less than half the calories and still enjoy them as much as the real deal.

Alternative option if you don’t have a donut pan : Use a mini muffin pan and bake as normal. This will give you donut holes! They can still be dipped, sprinkled and enjoyed. 

I love donuts with a serious passion. My family loves them too! And I’m sure you do as well… as you are here for this delicious donut recipe.

But, the bad part about eating donuts is that we always have a sense of guilt when we eat them. Am I right? We eat them, then feel the need to punish ourselves the rest of the day to make up for it.

Baking donuts is such a great alternative to fried donuts and when they are made with the right recipe, they taste just as amazing.

So, I’m here to not call this a healthy donut recipe. But I’m calling this a health{ier} way to enjoy those donuts, whenever you like, and not feel the horrible guilt when doing it.

Make all the donuts!! 

Next week’s donut recipe is going to be out of this world amazing.. be sure to stay tuned for that! I’m drooling just thinking about it.
