Baked Donuts

Baked donuts are a fun thing to do in the kitchen with the kids. No hot oil is involved so it is safe!

I love spending time in the kitchen with kids. This summer I asked three of my favorite kids what they wanted to learn how to make in the kitchen and donuts were at the top of their list. I decided baked donuts were the way to go rather than fried donuts.

These donuts are easy to make and fun to decorate. Perfect for kids of all ages. The sour cream in the recipe makes the donuts moist and delicious.
