Home-baked donuts are best served warm, shortly after baking.
Donuts are traditionally deep-fried, which makes them more unhealthy than other baked goods. While they won't taste exactly the same, homemade baked donuts are still likely to win over your co-workers at the office. You can also extol their comparative virtue as a breakfast food since they aren't deep-fried. Not only that, but the mess they make in your kitchen is much smaller than the mess made by deep-frying donuts on your stove-top or in a countertop deep-fryer.
Instructions
1. Preheat your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Mix dry ingredients together in one mixing bowl, and then mix wet ingredients together in the other mixing bowl. Mix each set of ingredients until they are thoroughly combined.
2. Begin combining ingredients by pouring the dry ingredients a little at a time into the bowl with the wet ingredients. Stir vigorously after each addition so that you make a smooth, uniform batter with no lumps of dry ingredients.
3. Spray your baked donut pan with nonstick spray. Ladle donut batter into the depressions in the pan so that they are about 3/4 full.
4. Bake for 12 to 15 minutes or until brown on top and solid to the touch -- but not hard. Remove gently with tongs and place on the wire cooling rack for a few minutes before decorating and serving.
