The other day I got a craving for something sweet (what else is new?), and I decided it had been too long since I’d made baked doughnuts. So I paged through my Barefoot Contessa Foolproof cookbook and decided to whip up her Cinnamon-Sugar Baked Doughnuts. My only regret is not enjoying them alongside a cup of hot chocolate. Next time!
Now, these are a dessert/sweet breakfast and not meant to be “healthy.” However, I ran out of all-purpose flour and was forced to sub in half of what the recipe called for with what I had in my freezer, which was spelt flour (spelt flour is a type of whole-wheat flour – it’s an ancient grain and actually works pretty well in baked goods, as it is less heavy than regular whole-wheat). And to be honest, these were still delicious! So if you want to make these a little healthier, I’m here to tell you you could use half spelt flour with half all-purpose, and they’ll still be super yummy. Although I imagine they would probably be more delicious if I’d been able to follow the recipe as written. Note to self: buy flour.

yum! Too bad I didn't see this idea before I finished my hot chocolate! 😉
Haha exactly Holly…a perfect thing to eat with hot chocolate. Cinnamon and chocolate just belong together 🙂
Oh wow, these look extremely delicious. I've always wanted to try making my own donuts!
Yum, yum, yum. I want to curl up in my bed and eat these and watch movies while the polar vortex rages on outside!!!!
I bookmarked the recipe & give it a try in the next weeks… They look yummy & healthy due to the fact that they are baked & not fried…
Have a great day!!!
