S’MORES DOUGHNUTS RECIPE
Are doughnuts breakfast or dessert?
I prefer baked donuts over fried ones.
- Baked doughnuts are healthier.
- As well, they are easier to make in my opinion. You don’t have to wait for the yeast to rise and you don’t have to cook one or two at a time like you do when frying.
- They take less than 30 minutes from gathering the ingredients to taking your first bite.
Also, try these Mini Donuts and Chocolate Covered Donuts. Both receips are delicious and both would be great to have the kids help make and decorate!
