I couldn't pass up the opportunity to share one more gingerbread recipe before it was too late.
Gingerbread Baked Donuts combine two of my favorite things - gingerbread and donuts - in one delicious, sugar-dusted little package.
These donuts make a great holiday breakfast! They are easy to make and don't take very much time to prep and bake. So you can be in and out of the kitchen in no time.

HI, DO YOU USE DARK BROWN OR LIGHT BROWN SUGAR? CAN'T WAIT TO TRY THESE FOR CHRISTMAS MORNING!!!
Kate
Hi! You can use either. Dark brown sugar will give you more molasses flavor.
Carolyn
I recently started baking doughnuts, it's a lot of fun plus they're not fried. I'm excited about trying this recipe, thank you for posting it :-)
Kate
They are fun! =) I hope you enjoy them, and I have several other baked donut recipes if you're interested.
Linda

Can i use whole milk and regular plain yogurt? and how much of each?
Kate
Whole milk is fine to use, and you'd use the amount listed in the ingredients. I haven't tried it with this specific recipe, so I can't say for certain, but I've swapped out regular plain yogurt with Greek at a 1:1 in other baked recipes and haven't had any issues.
Susan
Can coconut oil be substitutes?
Kate
I like to use coconut oil because it makes the donuts a little fluffier. However, you can use any neutral flavored oil. Light olive oil, vegetable oil, and canola oil would all work well.
Eden Passante
