Apple Cider Baked Donuts

November 5, 2012 By Jennifer @ PB and P Design 17 Comments

Hi Everyone and Happy Monday!

Today is National Donut Day!  What a great way to start the week!  I’m pretty stoked I made two National Holidays.  Remember yesterday when I said I was going to make my Cinnamon Apple Pancakes?  Well I didn’t make them, but I took the idea and decided on making Apple Cider Baked Donuts!!

I told my Husband that I made these for him, and he told me no you didn’t you made these for your blog!  He he yes I did, but he sure enjoyed them!  Thanks to blogging I’m always whipping up something new.  I’m glad he liked them!!  These little donuts are my munchkin versions from Dunkin Donuts.  Oh Dunkin Donuts, how I miss you!  That’s one thing stinky about California, no Dunkin Donuts!!  I guess that’s better for my waist line!


Since these are cake donuts, I highly recommend eating them the day you bake them.  For me, since this batch makes 41 of them, and it’s just my Husband and I, I’m going to freeze them and hope they are ok.  I never froze donuts, but I’d imagine they should still taste pretty good.

To cut back on sugar, I decided to spray my mini muffin pans with cooking spray and then I sprinkled sugar in each tin.  The bottom of the donuts have a little sweet crunch to them.  To take it up one more notch I decided to serve these donuts with sugar-free maple syrup and a pinch of apple cider.  You pop a stick into the donut and you have a donut sucker and it makes it easier for dipping.  With the maple syrup they tasted like apple cinnamon pancake bites!!!

These donuts are light, fluffy and taste like apple and cinnamon.  I love them.  I decided to make these since it’s a perfect fall treat and they are healthy too!!  Only 36 calories a donut!  You can’t beat that!!  To keep the calorie count low I only used 1/3 cup brown sugar and to keep them moist I used plain greek yogurt!  I love adding greek yogurt to make baked goods, it really does at moister to them.

I had fun making these and I’m really happy on healthy they are, completely guilt-free.  What is your favorite kind of donut?  I love the ones with the chocolate top and whip cream center.  Oh man, those are GOOD!!!   Really glad there is not a Dunkin Donuts here because I’d be eating them every day!!  I don’t get how they say America runs on Dunkin?  I guess California isn’t apart of America.  lol  I can see why!!  Californians are a weird bunch!  he he  Glad I’m a Californian!!

Have a great day!!

Toodles,

Jen

P.S.  I also have two other posts from last year with donuts.  Let me tell you the pumpkin donuts are amazing!  I’m making them next.  Just don’t look at the photos, not great!

      I would imagine you would get sick of Dunkin Donuts if it was so close. Since I don’t get it, I want it! I just found out today that Baskin Robbins in CA is now carrying the Dunkin Donut K-Cups, so I’m happy I can at least get some vanilla coffee! 🙂

      Ahhh, your skipping the cookie exchange. I understand! Things get so busy and over whelming at times. Sometimes I find myself stressed because of deadlines!! Maybe next year you’ll do it again. But if your ever inclined to send me some Raspberry White Chocolate Bars to someone, I’m your girl! lol!! Have a great night!

    What a clever idea of sprinkling the muffin tin with sugar! I love treats with texture. There’s no Dunkin Donuts by me either, I’ve never even been to one but I’ve heard such great things!! I did hear about this crazy doughnut place on the west coast though, I believe they’re in Oregon. Voodoo Doughnuts I think… They’re supposed to have the craziest doughnuts you’ve ever seen

Happy Friday! It’s finally here! Woohoo! I thou Happy Friday! It’s finally here!  Woohoo! I thought I would end the week with some inspiration by sharing my friend Tina @my.farmhouse.fanatic.life.
❤️
I just love Tina. I’ve known her well over a year and she is truly a sweetheart. She’s a Wife, Mom, and has the cutest fur babies. Her style is Farmhouse with a touch of modern.
❤️
Tina and her husband just finished remodeling there kitchen and it is so dreamy. The wood vent hood over the stove is so gorgeous. Her coffee bar is one of my favorites with the cute awning. I want an awning.
❤️
I’m sharing with you my favorite space in her home, her sunroom. I just love the swing and that beautiful brick wall. The perfect spot to relax with a cup of coffee or tea.
❤️
Tina is one to follow, be sure to check out her page. You won’t be disappointed. Have the most amazing weekend.

Happy Thursday! I am a day ahead of myself this w Happy Thursday!  I am a day ahead of myself this week. I thought yesterday was Thursday and I was excited because I thought today was Friday. I knew what day of the week it was, but my brain didn’t get it. Does that ever happen to you?
🐶
I’m sharing with you my new dog bone container that I got from @outshine_co. Oh my gosh Sampson loves it! Mom, move out of the way, I’m taking over!!
🐶
Hi all! This is Sammy here! I just have to tell you my Mom now has no excuse not to have bones in the house anymore. This beautiful container hold 5 boxes of my favorite Trader Joe’s bones. My Mom also needs to know that carrots, celery or a piece of lettuce doesn’t cut it! Bones is what I must have!
🐶
The container is made of a nice heavy coated carbon steel and holds 12lbs or 54 cups of dog food and bones. 🤩Yes thank you! That is what I’m taking about. The only thing is, the lid is so well fitted and airtight that I can’t get my paws in it. What’s up with that? Not fair! I need access to bones at all times.
🐶
My Mom loves the container too because it looks pretty on her counter and even comes with a sticker that she can write my name on. I absolutely love this container! Thank you Outshine Co. for sending this to me, I mean my Mom.
🐶
Thank your for letting me take over! I miss and love you guys!  Love Sampson!

Happy Wednesday! Half way through the week. I’m Happy Wednesday!  Half way through the week. I’m sharing with you, possibly my last look of my living room in it’s winter decor. I am so ready to add some color.
🪴
Depending on what is going on this weekend, I hoping to go to Homegoods for maybe a new blanket and some pillows. The only thing what color? I’m almost gravitating towards pink?
🪴
Though, yellow may look nice with the green plants. However, I do have so many pillows. Maybe I should look for pillow covers? Less storage. Pillows take up so much room. Oh the decisions.
🪴
I’ve seen some of you share pillow covers from Hobby Lobby. I’ve never seen them at my store, but I’ll do a search when I’m there? I guess that means I’m hitting up Hobby Lobby too. 😂
🪴
Instead of my daily question, I just want to wish and hope everyone is safe with this crazy weather.

I decorated it with items that I use on a regular basis in my kitchen, plus pretty little items. Oh and that cute cement pear also came in the March decor box.

Now that Valentines is over, it’s officially time for spring, at least in my mind. The weather may say otherwise, but I’ve been craving spring colors in my home. I went pretty neutral in my living room for winter, but I think I’m going to add some pastels. Now what color to add?
🐰
Last year if you followed me, I spent months trying to decide on what color to use. Ugh, I think I’m in the same boat again this year. I like yellows because it’s a happy color, but I also like pinks and blues. Oh the decisions.
🐰
I haven’t seem to much inspiration in the stores, though Target seems to have yellows and corals, plus a lot of neutrals. I’m seeing a lot of boho and woods. I do like woods with greenery.
🐰
What color doing you like to use in your home for Spring?

Happy Friday! We did it! Yesterday was a little bi Happy Friday! We did it! Yesterday was a little bit of rough day in my house. Woke up to see my sweet Sampson wasn’t feeling well.  He was just laying around, didn’t get up to greet me, and the biggest sign was he didn’t ask for a bone. You know how he’s obsessed with bones.
🐶
Around 9am he perked up and asked for a bone and wanted to go outside to snoop around. He seems to be better, but is still kind of laying around. I just hope he will be okay. He’s 11, and I get so worried. He’s my child.
🐶
I’m sharing with you my pretty tulips from Trader Joe’s. They have such a great selection of tulips in array of colors. Though I didn’t see any roses, which is strange. We do not have any plans for the weekend, that I know of, but we have the tendency to wing it.  I’ll keep you posted. Hope you have a wonderful Valentines weekend!

Hello Friday’s Eve! Today after work I’ll most Hello Friday’s Eve! Today after work I’ll most likely be heading to Trader Joe’s and I have to get my husband a Valentines gift. I would get him his favorite, chocolate, but he bought himself a ton of chocolate last weekend, so I’ll have to think of something else. Maybe he’ll like flowers from Trader Joe’s? Lol
🌸
Speaking of flowers, check out my new, gorgeous marble and wood cutting board that I got from my friend Brantley from @thesassyoak. I love the engraved flowers in it. It is so pretty.
🌸
The cutting board is her newest item at her Etsy shop. She engraves different items, like your name, but for me it is flowers. I’ll always keep the cutting board displayed. I think it is far to pretty to use. I’m afraid someone would scratch it.
🌸
Do you use cutting boards or just use them as display?

Happy Wednesday! My bathroom refresh should be co Happy Wednesday!  My bathroom refresh should be completed, I think this weekend? That means I get to go shopping for some new pieces to add to the bathroom. I am on the search for is some new open shelves to go above the toilet. If you have any suggestions on where to get some, let me know.
❤️
I wasn’t going to, but I decided to do a small Valentines table setting. I couldn’t resist the small white plates with the little red heart in the middle that I got from @williamssonoma. It was the first thing I bought after my no home decor buying for 30 days.
❤️
I love the simplicity of the table. It’s a small space, so I do not like to go to overboard on the decor. I added a little gift of candy hearts to bring together the reds and of course to eat.
❤️
Do you have any special plans for Valentines Day?

Hello everyone! Happy Tuesday! This weekend I clea Hello everyone! Happy Tuesday! This weekend I cleaned my kitchen sink area. It was filling up with daffodils and tulips and my husband said he feels like he’s in a greenhouse. I said they are bulbs, they won’t be there forever. Well they did poop out so I cleaned up my area to make more room for new plants.
🤣
You know when you take a photo and you realize something is in the wrong spot, so you fix it and take a photo again? Or maybe you see a crumb, a dog hair tumbleweed and you have to clean up and take a photo again. We’ll here’s my story.
😂
I took a photo of the kitchen sink area and I saw in the photo a smear mark on the dishwasher. So I cleaned the dishwasher. Then I took a photo again and I saw that smear mark again. So I scrubbed the dishwasher and ended up up cleaning all of my cabinets.
😂
I took the photo again and I saw that smear looking mark in my photo. What the heck? I examined the dishwasher and I’m thinking it’s so clean and smooth. I don’t get what that smear mark is. It was driving me crazy!!
🤣
Then it hit me. It was the reflection of the dog food dish in the dishwasher. Sigh.... All that scrubbing and I could have just moved the bowl. Well now I have a clean dishwasher and cabinets.
🤦‍♀️
Has this ever happened to you?
