National Donut Day! Recipes & Freebies

Not only is it Friday, which is awesome in itself, it's also National Donut Day! If you follow me on Facebook (and you should! I share lots of stuff that doesn't make it to the blog.) you already know this. Because some holidays are more exciting than others. ABC News released a list of all the places to score FREE donuts today...free donuts are definitely news worthy.

For the rest of us, who are trying to avoid fried dough like the plague, I have some healthier versions that can be baked up at home. Yes, I said baked. Yes, I know a baked donut is basically a muffin, but hey, we're doin' all we can here to fit into a dag blasted bathing suit. Yes, I said dag blasted. Because apparently I'm 80. 

So, here we go:

Chocolate Glazed Baked Donuts

Baked Meyer Lemon Donuts (can be made with regular lemons or even oranges, or a combo of both!)

Baked Maple Cinnamon Donuts

Baked Apple Cider Donuts

Mini Spiced Donuts

Chocolate Donut Holes

What's your favorite donut?
