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! One thing you guys know about me is Happy Tuesday! One thing you guys know about me is that I love Target. It’s my happy place. I get so excited each season to see all the new things that come out. 
🌿
One thing I always love is there faux vase/pot flowers and plants. They are always so pretty and I want to buy them all. But there a couple of things that stops me. The biggest one is that I have no storage for them. Two, they seemed to have gone up in price. They seemed a little pricy to me. 
🌿
For my arrangement, I used one of my canisters for the bathroom. I used floral foam to stick the stems in and I used the paper towel as a filler because I only had very little bit of moss. If I had more moss and I would probably not use the paper towel. This arrangement cost me $5.99. 
🌿
Tip: If you look at Targets faux foliage stems only, they have a lot that are same of what use in there vases. The one I used was Hearth and Hand and was only $5.99 for a stem. The exact ones they used in there pots.
🌿
Hope you enjoy this as much as I have making it. 
Enjoy your day!

Happy Thursday! As you may know I did my deep clea Happy Thursday! As you may know I did my deep cleaning in my kitchen on Monday. I washed the floors, cabinets, counters and decluttered the countertops. It feels so good and everything is so bright and clean. Well….

My husband decided to take vacation days this week, and my kitchen does not look so pretty. He has his 💩 everywhere. So annoying. 
💖
Here’s a little bit of the styling that I did. I will work on the coffee bar this weekend, though I’m running a blank on how to style it. I need some inspiration.
💖
What do you do to get inspiration?

I’m sharing heart shaped cinnamon rolls that I made this weekend. I got the idea to make them from my friend Heidi @eleanorrosehome. She made the most delicious looking cinnamon rolls, that I couldn’t resist to make. So perfect for Valentines Day and sooooo easy! 
❤️
I took a can of Trader Joe’s cinnamon rolls and unraveled them, if that makes sense, and rolled them up like a palmier cookie. So fun! You could add food coloring to the frosting to make it pink and add sprinkles. Super cute! You can follow step by step recipe on Heidi’s Instagram page! 
❤️
Thank you Heidi for sharing the recipe. This was so fun!
❤️
Would you rather get chocolate or flowers for Valentines Day?

I’m sharing with you my corner of my living room. I love how open this space looks. I added greenery to give it a fresh look. I also stuck with mostly natural colors with an exception of some blues to bring my whole living room together. 
🌿
Tomorrow I am going to start to share Valentines Day. My dining room is filling up with hearts. It’s so fun. I can’t wait to start sharing. Hope you have a beautiful day!
