Baked Donuts

I wanted to try out my new donut maker (Sunbeam) that my friend got me as a present so I found a recipe online for a simple donut and tried them out. These donuts aren't fried, they're baked so they are a lot healthier than a regular donut. After I finished baking these, I ate them and they were surprisingly really good. They were a little bit more dense than a regular fried donut but still really tasty. If fried donuts are like cupcakes, because they're light and fluffy, baked donuts are like muffins, healthy and a little bit dense.


Ingredients:

  • 1 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 1/2 tsp baking powder
  • 9 tbsp butter, melted
  • 3/4 cup milk
  • 1 egg, lightly beaten

Directions:

  • Turn on your donut maker (Mine is Sunbeam) and wait until it is fully ready.
  • In a small bowl, add your flour, sugar, and baking powder. Mix with a whisk until fully combined.
  • Cut up your butter and melt in the microwave. Melt until there are no clumps, and then, measure out 9 tablespoons and add it into a small bowl. Add your milk and egg as well and mix well.
  • Add your wet ingredients into your dry ingredients and mix well.
 
  • Open your donut maker and spray each well with cooking spray. Or if you don't like the taste of cooking spray, mix a little vegetable oil with butter (equal parts) and dip a paper towel into the mixture and wipe each of the donut wells.
  • Pour half of the batter into a disposable piping bag with a metal tip and fill up each well. (Metal tip because the heat from the machine can melt your piping bag.)

  • Close the lid gently and bake for 6 minutes or how long your donut maker instructions tell you to. Remove them gently with a wooden spoon and enjoy!
