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 Tuesday! I was outside early evening yesterd Happy Tuesday! I was outside early evening yesterday taking pictures of flowers and I felt a shadow flying around me. I looked up and there a Monarch butterfly. 
🦋
I don’t see Monarchs very much, I was delighted when I saw this orange beauty flying around. It landed on a Zinnia before it took a rest on my Butterfly Bush. Isn’t it beautiful? It made my day. It’s the small things.
🦋
I highly recommend a Butterfly Bush in your garden. The flowers come in a range of colors from white, pink to purples. They do well in zones 5-9. The flowers smell amazing and bloom all season. They are also a great butterfly attractor and fairly easy to grow.
🦋
Do you get butterflies in your garden?

I’m still working in my dining room and I wanted to share my new reversible sign that I got from @krumpetshomedecor. It’s a beautiful 24x9 sign that I thought it would be perfect in my dining room. 
🌸
I love sitting around the table with friends and family and tell stories, laugh, play games and have a good time. I thought the side of the sign that says “Enjoy Every Moment” was perfect.

Happy Thursday! Last week I cleaned my bedroom and Happy Thursday! Last week I cleaned my bedroom and boy does it feel so nice to have a clean room.

One of the things I added was my new bedding that I got from @lushdecorhome. Let me tell you, it is so luxurious. This is the 3 piece Belgian Flax Linen Rich Cotton Blend Bedspread. It is so soft and gets softer with each wash. 
💕
I have a tall bed and the ruffles just reaches the floor. The bedding is filled with cotton that gives the bedspread such a comfy feel. The bedspread is perfect for the summer, as it is lightweight, but warm enough to keep you cozy in the winter. The set comes with two pillow shams and the bedspread. It also comes in 4 colors. 
💕
I love my new bedding, it’s so feminine and simply beautiful. I couldn’t be happier. Swipe the photo to see how happy Sully is on the bedding.

I updated my little corner by adding some pops of yellow. I just love adding yellow and I love adding lemons. Speaking of lemons, how cute is my little “Hello Sunshine” pillow is from @krumpetshomedecor.

Hi Everyone! I shared the reel to my Summertime ta Hi Everyone! I shared the reel to my Summertime tablescape with @JCPenney + #AllAtJCP + #sponsored +#ShoppingIsBack but you know how I love still photos better. I think you can really see the details of the decor.

💛

I am loving how simple, fresh and light my tablescape feels. It’s the perfect look I was going for. When the idea came for creating a tablescape, I was unclear of what direction I was going for until I shopped at JCPenney. I walked around the decor department and was completely inspired. They had so many styles and colors that would inspire you too.

💛

I saved a highlight of my shopping trip to JCPenney. You must check it out. I’ll be honest, I was blown away by the styles, quality and prices of there store. I will be shopping there quite frequently and you know I will take you along my journey.

💛

What is the style of your home?

💛

PS. Everything on my table is from JCPenney and it is the Linden Street Collection.

My inspiration was my new pillows that I got from @downlitebedding. The name of the pillow says it all “Ahhhhhmazing™ down alternative pillow” and they are amazing.
🐾
The pillows are so soft, plush and are hypoallergenic. They are easily molded so you position your neck, head and arms. The pillows are also washable and OEKO-TEX® Certified Textiles Are Certified Free Of Harmful Chemicals. 
🐾
I’ll be honest, Downlite Bedding are the only pillows that I sleep with. They are fabulous and will last for years. I highly recommend them. They won’t disappoint you. Downlite Bedding was nice enough to give my followers a 20% off discount code to there shop: DYGEN20.

Hello! I have to tell you that I love summer. It’s my favorite season. I love the sun, hot weather, shirts and flip flops. I could just spend all day outside.
🌻
One of my favorite things to do in the summer besides gardening is going to the Farmers Market. There is something about the atmosphere with people walking around with bags in hand, the smell of kettle corn and everyone is so happy. 
🌻
Besides the atmosphere, you can’t beat the freshly grown produce. It’s mind blowing how different it tastes, then what you get in the store. You almost forget what a strawberry is suppose to taste like until have it at the Farmers Market. Plus you are supporting your community. It’s a good feeling all around. 
🌻
I highly recommend going to the Farmers Market and pick up so corn. Soooooo good!! Stock up on your fruits and veggies and freeze it for winter.

🌸
I’m sharing with you my last photo of my peonies. I’m so sad that they didn’t last. I got about 6 days from them. I guess that’s means I need to go to Trader Joe’s and get more before peony season is over.
🌸
Do you have any summer vacation scheduled this year?

Happy Monday!! It’s back to work for me. I’ll Happy Monday!! It’s back to work for me. I’ll be counting down to my next vacation, which will be the week of the 4th of July. I will tell you, it felt so nice not having any plans and doing work in the garden.
🌻
This weekend I finally made it to the Farmers Market and I picked up these amazing sunflowers. They are such a happy flower. 
🌻
When I got them, I couldn’t resist doing a flowers in the sink photo. I haven’t done one of these since Fall. Now I may have to go back to the Farmers Market next weekend because they had so many flowers and most were only $4.00 a bundle. 
🌻
Do you you like to go to the Farmers Market?
