Happy Monday, Y’all!

A great way to start the morning…homemade baked Carrot Cake Donuts. YUM!

I recently got this nifty donut pan, and I tried it out this morning.

I was surprised how easy it was to make these! I filled a quart-sized plastic bag with the batter and cut a small hole to pipe the donuts in the pan without getting any batter in the center.

I even made them with a cake mix…so totally quick and easy for a great breakfast!

Yeah, that’s cream cheese icing! MMMMMmmmm!!!

    How many donuts does this recipe make? Also did you get the pan in BR? I’m also live in BR & I want to make these for teachers appreciation week.
    Thanks, Erika

      Erika, the recipe makes 12 regular sized donuts. I ordered the pan on Amazon, but if you need it quicker, Party Time on Bluebonnet carries a lot of Wilton pans. Walmart may even have them. :)
