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 cleanup.

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.

Cake donuts are so easy to make and the variety of recipes seem endless. It is certainly worth the small investment it would take to get a donut pan.

Here is another perfect donut recipe that doesn’t have an icing but has lots of trail mix inside. They are delicious!

Baked Trail Mix Cake Donuts are stacked five high. Light golden brown with hints of pumpkin seeds and nuts peeking out.

    That’s fantastic Allie and thank you! I love them too and your idea of switching out the cinnamon for pumpkin spice was really a good idea. I’ll have to try that too!

    Made these tonight- they came out phenomenal! I used pumpkin spice instead of cinnamon, which went well with the maple. Thank you so much for this recipe! You’re a genius!! I can’t wait to try the others! 🙂

    Thank you so much for all the lovely vegan donut recipes. I just bought an electric donut hole maker from Stonewall Kitchen it was less than $35 on Amazon and totally worth it. it makes on average 40 Donuts per batch typically. I will certainly be making this recipe and the cashew nut topped donut recipe as well!
