Donut Forget To Vote [Blender Pumpkin Baked Donuts]

Donuts can be sugary sweet and sometimes fall under the category of a dessert rather than a breakfast item. Try these baked pumpkin donuts that you can easily make the dough in a blender. And if you want to pump up these bad boys, top them with some maple cream cheese icing - it's delicious, I promise you!

November 8th. A day that will finally bring an end to what seems like the longest election ever. Regardless of where you stand, 'donut' forget to vote today!

I won't even get into the ugly details of moving and becoming a new resident in a new state during the final weeks of voters registration. It's not fun and it normally doesn't work out in your favor - or my favor, to be exact. So instead I'm going to share with you a delicious little breakfast item that you can take with you to your polling place this morning. Or you can just save this recipe as a little treat for the weekend.

Making donuts in the blender is a life saver to me. It leaves me with little clean up and I always keep my blender within arms reach. Plus when it comes to donuts, the dough is usually pretty thick and I know I could probably use the arm workout but I'd rather put my blender to work for me. So next time you are making a donut recipe like these pumpkin baked donuts or my cinnamon roll donuts, pull out your blender and give it a whirl.

Don't discard any remainder maple cream cheese icing. It would come in handy over some waffles - I have a recipe coming at you next week. And if you are not a donut fan, you could always try my mini pumpkin protein muffins!

PIN for later.
