Baked Maple Glazed Donuts

Baked Maple Glazed Donuts are baked into a really really good dense caky donut. Dipped into a sweet maple icing and you will be in bakery nirvana.

When we were growing up, about once a month, we got a special treat.   After church we would go to the donut shop and get a dozen donuts.  There were six of us so we each got to pick out the two that we wanted.

That box was the most colorful and inviting display I had ever seen.  My choices were always a chocolate topped cake donut and a maple topped one.

Even then I was partial to baked donuts.  Baked Maple Glazed Donuts to be specific.

There are so many bonuses when baking donuts versus frying.  You can find donut pans everywhere now and I also have a silicone set so there really is no excuse.  There is no frying or a messy clean up.

The donuts are catapulted into a healthier category too and last but not least, they are delicious!  You really don’t need to frost these donuts but I thought it would be a nice option.  It makes the child in us extra happy.
