Gingerbread Baked Donuts

I  couldn’t pass up the opportunity to share one more gingerbread recipe before it was too late.

Gingerbread Baked Donuts

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.

      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.

        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.
