I used to say we did not eat donuts.
I wish I could still say the same things.
In fact, just last year I mentioned on Instagram we had donuts only occasionally. Specifically, once in a while (two-three times per year) we stopped by Tim Hortons to grab a few (a few dozens I mean) and once in one or two years I made them at home.
Are you wondering what has changed since that time?
I had never tried baked donuts and I was quite curious to give them a try. That’s why I asked my hubby to present me a baking pan on Christmas.
Yes, it was totally his fault. He should not have listened to me at all. He should have presented something not that treacherous…maybe a smoothie recipe book.
As a result, I’ve gone a bit too far. I cannot tell how many donuts I have made for these three months but a lot. There are a few examples:
- Chicken Bacon Maple Glazed Donuts
- Maple and Whisky Glazed Donuts
- Peanut Butter and Maple Syrup Donuts
- Peanut Butter Maple Bacon Donuts
- Tiramisu Donuts
- Snickers Donuts
- Lemon Mascarpone Glazed Donuts…
If you have not passed out yet, you can check all them (and much more) in Instagram.
Sure, I am not going to be posting all of them, at least since I was not going to do that and I took only “fast” snaps for Instagram. However, I’ve got some of them, pretty nice and delish.
Let’s get it started!
These Rose Glazed Donuts I made on Valentine’s Day (along with Pomegranate donuts which I’ll show later on). They were amazing! Moist, with a lovely rose flavor, and so pinky beautiful.

Notes
* You can add 2/3 cup of sugar as recommended in most recipes. To my taste, 1/2 cup is enough.
This amount of the glaze is enough for 7-9 donuts. You can adjust the amount of the ingredients or make the second kind of glaze, as I usually do.

Instructions
