    You have a craving for homemade dounuts but you're too lazy to go through the long process of making the famous doughnuts. Then try this recipe for oven baked donuts! It's an easy recipe but above all quick and delicious.

    Baked Donuts

    We all know the donuts, these fried donuts super soft and tasty! Here is its simplified version, the baked donuts, same shape, as good and soft but faster to make.

    Actually, there is a difference in the texture, the original is a donut dough while this one is more like a soft cookie in the shape of a donut.

    And baked in a special pan, very practical to create this pretty ring shape that reminds the famous American Doughnut.

    The advantage of these baked donuts over the original is the preparation time. In the original recipe, the dough has to rise and there is therefore a certain amount of time to respect.
