Easy Chocolate Dip Baked Donut recipe. Healthier than your average doughnut, this sweet treat makes a great dessert idea.
Donuts. They always reminds me of the time I worked at Tim Hortons. Wow, I ate a lot of donuts back then. I haven’t eaten them (much) since, but, on a late night browsing on Amazon (which is never really a good idea. The things I have bought browsing Amazon late at night…) I bought a donut pan.
Afterwards, I thought to myself “when have I ever made a donut?” But I suppose there’s a first for everything (this isn’t my first time using the pan. My second since I bought. My first time, I made some Ice Cream Cake Donuts which didn’t quite turn out like donuts. More like moist cake in the shape of a donut.)
It was such a sunny day, I had to make donuts. You know, in case the sunshine didn’t brighten up everyone’s day.
These Chocolate Dip Baked Donuts are perfectly paired with some coffee. From Tim Hortons. Oh how I miss that place. But actually, on the Tim Hortons nostalgia, I have just won a free coffee with a free coffee in roll up the rim! (for those who don’t know anything about Tim Hortons, every spring they have a roll up the rim where there is a 1 in 6 chance of winning something..coffee, watch, car, etc.. I’ve only won coffee. So much coffee…)
So make these doughnuts for breakfast, snack and dessert. I promise you, you won’t regret it.

I love doughnuts and should really get a doughnut pan! The chocolate topping looks so great.
I have always fried donuts and didn't know donut pans existed, I am off to Amazon 🙂
That doesn't even look like a doughnut, but more like a yummy mini-cake!
this is all I need from now on
I remember Tim Hortons when I was visiting Canada…
I like non-fried version of donut and I must say the topping is a must for this yummy treat 😀
