10 recipes to celebrate National Donut Day!

Did you know that #NationalDonutDay was established in 1938 to celebrate the brave women of the Salvation Army who served up fried treats to soldiers during World War I? The holiday is celebrated the first Friday of June each year so today I'm sharing our top 10 most popular donut recipes.


S'mores Donuts

  We're s'mores obsessed around here so why not enjoy our favorite treat in donut form? I love any excuse to break out the kitchen torch!


Chocolate Glazed Donuts 

These baked beauties are perfect for when you're craving chocolate! Always a big hit with kids, especially when you add fun sprinkles!


Apple Cider Donuts

Apple Cider Donuts are a big deal in New England and these are the best I've ever eaten!


Lemon Funfetti Baked Donuts

Lovely lemon flavor with festive sprinkles both in the batter and on top! 


Baked Vanilla Donuts with Mocha Glaze

The coffee glaze on these totally puts them over the top!  


Jalapeno Cornbread Donuts

Who says donuts have to be sweet? These are great perfect with a bowl of chili or soup. 



Baked Key Lime Pie Donuts

  These citrusy treats blend the refreshing flavors of key lime pie with the soft, fluffy goodness of a donut.



Pineapple Upside Down Donuts

The classic cake in donut form!  They're great in full size or in mini! You can also add chopped cherries and nuts if you like.


Old Fashioned Doughnuts

If I'm going to fry it really has to be worth it.  We like these tossed with cinnamon sugar or dipped in chocolate glaze and topped with sprinkles.

Light and fluffy baked donuts with a beautiful crumb topping!

Pizzelles are one of my favorite childhood cookies and I'm constantly looking for ways to put a new spin on them.  Since one of my favorite summer fruits is strawberries, I swapped out the vanilla in the original recipe with strawberry extract. 

Easy Stuffed Waffles with Sweet and Savory Fillings

Stuffed waffles are a fun twist on the classic waffle—crispy on the outside and packed with tasty fillings inside. I recently got a stuffed waffle maker, and I’m loving how it turns waffles into little pockets of deliciousness! The best part? You don’t need a strict recipe because this is a perfect “clean out the fridge” meal. Grab whatever leftovers or fillings you have on hand, stuff ’em inside, and waffle away! Here’s what I tried this time, but feel free to get creative and make it your own.
