Baked Maple Donuts Recipe with Maple Glaze

This Baked Maple Donuts Recipe with Maple Glaze may be your answer to the perfect homemade fall breakfast pastry.  Grab a cup of coffee and enjoy!

Maple glazed donuts are one of my daughter’s favorite donuts.  I’m a little extra keen on them myself as well. In this recipe the maple donuts are baked rather than fried, which is not only lower in fat, but far less hassle to prepare. The combination of maple batter and maple glaze really make the flavor shine through in these donuts.

Baked Maple Donuts: Perfect Fall Brunch Recipe

Making a batch of this baked maple donuts recipe doesn’t take very long at all.  I think they are a great alternative to making waffles, which need to be made in multiple batches.  While the baked donuts do need to cool off  before applying the maple glaze. The entire batch is ready at once so everyone can eat together without someone’s food getting cold, making them a great choice for brunch gatherings.  These donuts are also the perfect treat to delight in while sipping a hot coffee on a chilly day.
