Baked Donut Monday: Maple Bacon Donuts!

Happy Monday you guys!!!
I'm back again for another Baked Donut Monday post

and today I'm going to tell you about some super tasty

MAPLE BACON BAKED DONUTS!!!

When I first came up with the Baked Donut Monday series,

I knew that I'd blogging about Maple Bacon donuts at some point.

Because hello - donuts...and bacon!

And doesn't bacon make everything better???

WOW YOU GUYS!!!

I thought the Toasted Coconut donuts were my favorite,

but I'm thinking I may actually like these a little better.

It's like an entire breakfast in one bite!!

Before I show you how to make these delicious donuts,

I have to confess to a small blogger fail.

I missed a few step by step pictures for this post.

OOPS - sorry!!!

The Goods:

All-Purpose Flour

Brown Sugar

Baking Soda

Baking Powder

Salt

White Vinegar

Milk

Vanilla Extract

Cooked Bacon

Maple Syrup

Maple Extract

Powdered Sugar

Oops - not pictured, but needed too:

Egg

Vegetable Oil

Mix together flour, brown sugar, baking soda, baking powder and salt.

Mix together the egg, vegetable oil, homemade buttermilk* and vanilla extract.

Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and whisk to combine.

Add the cooked, chopped bacon bits and fold into the batter.

Transfer donut batter to a large zipper bag.

Cut off the end of the zipper bag 

and fill your donut pan until 1/2 to 3/4 full.

Bake at 400 degrees for 10 minutes.
Cool in pan for a few minutes.

While the donuts are cooling, make the maple glaze.

Combine maple syrup, vanilla extract, milk, maple extract and powdered sugar.

Whisk until glaze is smooth and forms ribbons when scooped from the bowl. 

Working one at a time, dip each donut into the glaze and garnish with more bacon!

Let the glaze set up completely.

Step back and admire how amazing they look...

And then pick one to devour!!!
