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 December 1st! Can you believe it’s only 25 Happy December 1st! Can you believe it’s only 25 days until Christmas? I’m not ready yet!! But I did get my Christmas tablescape ready! 
🎄
I was gifted this beautiful table cloth by @cottonprintclub. It’s 100% cotton, comes in several sizes and colors, doesn’t bleed or shrink when washed. I love the shade of green and it is so beautiful that you can use it all year. 
🎄
I went with a simple tablescape to show off my beautiful plates that I received from @backcountrymercantile. All I added to my table was some garland, candlesticks and of course twinkling lights. Swipe the photo to see my table in the evening.

Hi Everyone! I’m done decorating my kitchen and Hi Everyone! I’m done decorating my kitchen and oh my gosh, I love it!! Pink is so fun! I thought I would share with you how I styled my kitchen sink area.
💗
The inspiration for this space came from the stunning pieces that I was gifted from my friend Britni @arcadian.collective. I love her shop! Such timeless, elegant pieces that will last a lifetime.
💗
I received from Arcadian Collective the solid marble Seraphine Butter Bell, Vintage European solid brass Salt & Pepper Mill, Carrara Cielo Marble Stone Serveware and the cutest pink little Christmas candle. Check out my Arcadian Collective highlight for more details on each product. They would make a great holiday gift!

Happy World Kindness Day! This weekend I made my a Happy World Kindness Day! This weekend I made my annual snow jar to place on my shelf in the kitchen. You get a tiny sneak peak of my shelves at the end of the reel. The snow jars are so easy to do and you probably have most of the items on hand. 
💗
For the snow, I used blanket snow. You could also use, sugar or Epsom salt. I like the blanket snow because it’s not messy and it hides the fairy lights battery pack.
💗
The houses are ornaments that I bought at Target. I thought they were Perfect for my pink kitchen. Of course you can use whatever you have on hand. It doesn’t have to be a house and tree.
💗
If you buy fairy lights, make sure they have a timer on them. Trust me that will make life easier. If you don’t like fairy lights, you can use a faux candle. 
Ohhh and have a stack of batteries. I go through more batteries in the month of December then I do the rest of the year!
💗
Items used:
Apothecary jar
Fairy lights with timer
Pink house ornament
Bottlebrush tree
Pink ribbon 

Everything, but the pink ribbon was bought at Target. 
💗
Have fun creating! If you make one, tag me so I can share!!

Happy Monday! Here is a little throwback from last Happy Monday! Here is a little throwback from last years Christmas. I plan on doing green again in the living room. I just think it looks classic, plus I have all the decor already. So no need to buy more.
🎄
But I still do plan on doing pink in my kitchen. I figured I could use some pink everyday pieces that I already have and add pops of pink ornaments and pink little Christmas trees. I plan doing some shopping this week to see what I can find in pink. I’m so excited!! 
🎄
Have a fantastic Monday!

Happy Monday! Sorry I haven’t been on in awhile. Happy Monday! Sorry I haven’t been on in awhile. My husband was sick with the flu, then he passed it on to me. My dog even had an upper respiratory infection. Ugh! It was a rough 2 weeks. Then on Friday I had surgery to remove skin cancer on my chest. I’m sore and I can’t lift or exercise. Anyway, that’s why I have not been on.
🦇
I wanted to give you one last look at my Halloween kitchen before I change it out. Not sure if I’m going to add some Fall or Christmas next. Did you know Christmas is in 63 days? 😳
🦇
So I have been thinking about Christmas colors. The past 2 years I have done green and I love it, however I have always wanted to do a pink Christmas. Just not sure if I can pull it off? I don’t know if I want to go crazy and buy a bunch of pink? What color are you doing this year?
🦇
Have a great day!!
