Baked Red Velvet Donuts

By

Spread the love
Happy Monday!
Have I mentioned that I got a donut pan for Christmas?  I did (thanks, Mom!) and I’m seriously in love…especially after making these beauties.  I’ve made a few different varieties so far, they’re ridiculously easy to make and soooo good.
Red velvet cake is insanely delicious in the first place and this donut version will make your morning a whole lot sweeter.  All four of my little sweethearts loved having these for breakfast last Saturday, they’re in love with the donut pan too.
The batter is pretty thick, so expect to have to work with it a little.  Also expect to want to eat the leftover glaze off the spoon – it’s so creamy and amazing!  Be sure not to over bake these, you don’t want to dry them out.
Next week, for those of you who may prefer food that can be served as an actual meal instead of a weekend treat, we’re serving up SOUP all week long…you don’t want to miss it!

    These sound wonderful – I need to get a donut pan although I am afraid I would be making donuts all the time:-). I had a red velvet donut at Krispy Creme over the holidays and they were amazing!

    Thank you for sharing this! I, too, pined away for a donut pan, finally got one, and then I couldn’t find recipes for it! Every recipe I found was for yeast donuts or fried donuts and I’m not interested in either of those. I was easy, yummy donuts. Thanks again 🙂

  18. Krista says

    Those look delicious….and baked! How cool 🙂 Thanks for sharing at Church Supper. Have a blessed week, and see you again next Sunday!

    These are so cool! I love that it is a donut that doesnt involve frying and it is so pretty all decked out for Vday! Thanks for sharing at Mrs Foxs Sweet Party 🙂

    I never have heard of a donut pan before. That looked cool. I might actually make donuts if I don’t have to fry them. Thanks for the recipe. I found you on my sister’s linky party at Junkintheirtrunk.
