Better-for-you Baked Donuts

Two of my three food eating littles love these donuts. My third little one took a bite and said, "yuummmm mommy, these are good but I like daddy's donuts better."

Yep, the ones he likes better are from a gas station like Quality Dairy packed with jelly and sugar. I like them now and then myself (chocolate custard long-johns) but not so often as these boys would like them.

But I call two of three kids liking our better-for-you baked donuts a win. And that's my goal as we work on healthier habits--doing better not perfect!

So wanted to pass along this recipe and a link to where we found the pans. Hope you enjoy them!

Baked Donut Pans - We found them on Amazon which is my best friend to avoid taking littles to the store especially when items arrive in 2 days!
