My Golden Pear: BAKED DOUGHNUT MUFFINS

Tuesday 16 July 2013

BAKED DOUGHNUT MUFFINS

The latest Bake Along challenge is for these lovely baked doughnut muffins from The Back in the Day Bakery Cookbook by Cheryl and Griffith DayI can't remember ever making traditional fried doughnuts and to be honest they would never be top of my list for a tea time treat.  I would probably have given this challenge a miss had it not been for my complete failure at making the last challenge which was a Japanese cheesecake.  I'm so glad I did try these as they are much nicer (in my opinion) than the heavy, fried version which seems to be so popular these days. 
 I made large muffins but I think next time I would opt for the smaller version as they would probably be easier to handle.  My favourite version so far has been Bake For Happy Kids which were done in a cake pop tin.  They look like the perfect size.

I'm a big fan of doughnuts, I have to admit, although the ones available in the UK aren't nearly as good as those available in the Canadian doughnut chain Tim Hortons. Timmies sells something called timbit's or doughnut holes, which is a bit like what you've made :) They look lovely! Very tempting!

Sorry to hear about the japanese cheesecake, i hope the next time when you do it again, it will be a successful one.

Now Angela - these are a whole lotta naughtiness :-) Like the idea of the cinnamon sugar topping. I agree with you on the smaller portion sizes too! I imagine your family loved these!

These baked doughnut muffins are not only delicious, also so much healthier than the traditional one.

I worked for a Canadian company for +10 years and I learnt how much they love their doughnuts. Not sure these would compare to the real thing though.

Thanks Joyce. I was so disappointed with my cheesecake but glad I made this one.

Thanks Lena - I love taking part in the Bake-Along and am looking forward to the next one.

I was surprised that I like them as much as I did. Not too heavy.

The problem with entering these challenges is they always seem to be on the sweet side rather than savoury - I'm going to have to stop or I'll pop :-)

Thanks Mich - I am a bit obsessed by muffin cups. I have far too many in my cupboard.

Yes much healthier but still a bit of a treat.

Hi Angela,

Happy to have you baking along with us!

I know. I know.... Tell me about cottony cheesecake baking. It was nerve-wrecking experience for me too. With Ju's (Little Teochew) tips, I'm feeling lucky that mine was ok ...

Nice to hear that you like my cake pop version of this doughnuts. I must say that it really fun to eat when they are rolling - LOL! The TV media is selling this but I bought mine at Kmart with a much lower price :D

Your doughnuts muffins look very cheerful to eat in colourful paper cups... feel like eating these in a summer carnival.

Zoe
