I've been perusing several food blogs and came across several and I decided that I would pick a recipe from these blogs and try them out myself. This recipe comes from Chocolate Moosey. If you click here it will take you the Chocolate Moosey website recipe for Baked Vanilla Doughnuts but I warn you. This website is like five kinds of awesome so be prepared.
The recipe reminds me of a dense vanilla cupcake in doughnut form. It's pretty good but I warn you now. This recipe only made 11 doughnuts for me and the recipe says 9 so you may have to double it if you want to freeze some. I decided my large KitchenAid mixer probably would have a hard time mixing so little ingredients and figured I'd just stir it all together myself.
I got my dry and my wet ingredients together. The recipe calls for vanilla bean pods and vanilla extract. I didn't have any vanilla bean pods laying around but that's okay. I use vanilla bean paste which is made from the pods and has lots of little specks of vanilla goodness in it.
It also helps if you have two doughnut pans. I picked mine up at my local Joanns store for a few dollars. I gave the pan a spritz of cooking spray although I probably didn't need to.
These little guys cooked in about 8 minutes. I tested them with a toothpick to ensure they were done. They're really easy to throw together and I'm sure you could make the dough before going to bed. Just put it into a zip baggy and in the morning snip the end and dispense it into your doughnut pan and viola breakfast is done.
In lieu of making a glaze, I had some leftover vanilla frosting in a can in my refrigerator waiting to be used. I simply melted the frosting in the microwave until I had a thin consistency and just spooned it over the doughnuts. You can use other toppings such as cinnamon and sugar, maple or powdered sugar. No matter which way you prefer them I'm sure they're a winner.
