Eggnog Doughnuts – Baked Donut Recipe
One of my absolute favorite things about the holiday season is egg nog! I love me some egg nog, egg nog lattes, and especially coquito. To keep the egg nog love going, I tried baking up a batch of egg nog doughnuts. You pretty much can’t go wrong with doughnuts, but adding a holiday flair to these made them divine!
A good friend of mine has had a doughnut pan for a while, and after seeing Jen’s doughnut post a recently, I knew I had to get one. And wouldn’t you know, as I was perusing the aisles at BB&B one day, the donut pan(affiliate link) practically fell into my arms. The great thing about these pans is that you have to bake the doughnuts, instead of frying them, so they’re pretty much healthy. You’re welcome.
Since it was my first time making doughnuts, I didn’t get too crazy with experimentation. I stuck pretty closely to the recipe provided on the Wilton pan packaging, only subbing the buttermilk with egg nog and nutmeg with cinnamon. I did however, come up with my own simple glaze that adds a little extra egg noggy sweetness.
