Cinnamon baked doughnuts

I've had such a rough first week back in work that I needed cheering up, the one thing that helps me to do this is baking. So with my cupboards being empty I ran to Tesco to get some supplies. I love baked doughnuts as they are so quick to make, and once you have a basic recipe you can adapt it to suit all flavour combinations.

Cookie and cream baked doughnuts

After being away from blogging for almost a year I am so glad to be back. Making celebration cakes for a living was not only repetitive but people can be rude and I began to resent it. However now I'm back baking for myself I am so happy, my passion is back and I couldn't wait to get started.

Peanut butter baked doughnuts

 Who doesn't love a good doughnut, I especially love baked doughnuts because they make me feel so much better when I'm eating them as I know they are not smothered in oil. These doughnuts are flavoured with peanut butter, topped with a peanut butter glaze and smothered in chopped peanuts and chocolate chips. Peanut lovers beware, you may become addicted!

Baked banana & chocolate chip doughnuts

Just looking at these doughnuts makes me drool, they are bananatastic! The chocolate and the banana in the doughnut works perfectly together, the chocolate glaze and caramelised bananas being an added bonus.

DOHnuts (Doughnuts inspired by the Simpsons)

 

So at the moment I love baked doughnuts and as a treat I decided to make my brother some Simpson doughnuts. Since we were little we have watched the Simpsons, I can honestly say it wouldn't surprise me if we had seen every episode. So when I found out that he was coming home from University for the weekend  I knew I had to make them. 

Chocolate baked doughnuts with white chocolate

 For the past month I have been looking EVERYWHERE for a doughnut pan! They seem to be non existent in Britain even Lakeland didn't sell them, so after looking over and over again online I finally found a cute store online called 'sugar shack' they sell loads of equipment and baking products really cheaply (which a student like me needs as it's hard enough affording rent). At first I was a little skeptical about whether the site was real or not but after some research I placed my order.
