Who doesn’t love donuts? Making them at home is a different thing though. Deep frying is not something we do. Baking, on the other hand, makes so much more sense. I never tried baked donuts until I stumbled across a donut baking pan in the store and made an impulse buy. Then I had to find a recipe of course. Here’s what I ended up doing. Not only are these egg-free and delicious but also super easy and fast to make. You can have donuts in less than an hour, ready to enjoy. I tried freezing the finished donuts and defrosted at room temperature a week later – they were still good.
