Still on a Fall kick over here. Sorry, not sorry. Is it going to be 86 degrees on Sunday. Yes. Are we going to wear sweaters and pretend it isn’t happening? Also yes.
These donuts are baked which makes them super easy. But, they have a hole in the middle. Thus..donut. Was this recipe also entirely experimental? YES. The first batch did not work. They tasted good….but they looked terrible. The crumble basically melted away but in a weird, gross way. We are all a little weird and gross sometimes, but we don’t like that in our desserts.
Thanks for stopping by!
Happy baking!
