Baked Apple Cider Doughnuts
Ok seriously, who doesn’t love doughnuts?! I do. I could probably eat an entire dozen half dozen by myself. I wish I was joking right now, but I’m not at all. Weirdly enough I prefer the baked doughnuts over the regular fried ones. I love the cake-like texture of them and I also like that they aren’t as greasy. It makes me feel a lot better about eating 6 doughnuts in a sitting. They’re baked okay?! Totally healthy for you! I was deciding between Pumpkin Spice or Apple Cider for this recipe and I just felt compelled to pay homage to the underrated delicious apple cider for the fall season.
