Baked Donut Monday: S'mores!

Hellllllllllllllllo Monday!!!

I'm back again for another Baked Donut Monday post

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

S'MORES BAKED DONUTS!

I love to roast marshmallows and make a yummy s'mores or two,

so when I was researching baked donuts and found this recipe,

I just knew I had to make it to include in this blog series.

Making baked donuts with the flavors of a s'mores was a genius idea!

The Goods:

All-Purpose Flour

Unsweetened Cocoa Powder

Baking Powder

Baking Soda

Ground Nutmeg

Salt

Butter

Plain Yogurt

Vanilla Extract

Eggs

Sugar

Brown Sugar

Marshmallow Fluff

Graham Cracker Crumbs

In a large bowl, sift together the flour, cocoa powder, 

baking powder, baking soda and nutmeg.

In another large bowl, whisk together the butter, 

yogurt, vanilla, eggs and both sugars.

Add the wet mixture into the dry mixture and stir until combined.

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 350 degrees for about 10 minutes.

You can test that they're done with a toothpick.

Remove from pan and cool completely on wire rack.

Heat marshmallow fluff in microwave for about 40 seconds,

until smooth and slightly thinned out.

Dip the top of each donut into the marshmallow fluff...

Then immediately sprinkle with graham cracker crumbs.

Fruit Pizza

My aunt offered to make me a birthday cake this year,

and since food really is my love language,

I offered to make a birthday cake for her in return!

She agreed to a birthday treat, but didn't want a cake.

She said she wanted something with fruit on it,

so that's when I turned to trusty Google.

I found quite a few things that looked absolutely amazing,

but I pretty much stopped looking when I found this!

I was drooling just looking at the recipe if I'm being honest.

I wanted the Fruit Pizza to be perfect for the birthday,

so I did the only logical thing one would do...

make one ahead of time as a trial run!!!

Now keep reading to see how the trial run went.

The Goods:

Shortening

Sugar

Orange Zest

Vanilla

Eggs

Whole Milk

Flour

Baking Powder

Salt

Marshmallow Fluff

Cream Cheese

Fresh Fruit

Combine the flour, baking powder and salt.

Set aside.

In a large bowl, add shortening, sugar, orange zest and vanilla.

And then cream the above mixture.

Add in the eggs.

Then beat until fluffy.

Now time for the milk.

Mix that up too.

Mix the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients.

The dough when finished mixing.

Flatten the dough between two sheets of waxed paper.

And refrigerate at least one hour.

(Dough can be refrigerated a few days!)

Remove dough from refrigerator.

And at this point I cut my dough in half.

Then press half the dough into a greased 9x13 sheet pan.

Bat 350 degrees for about 15 minutes.

The edges will be a nice golden brown when done

Let cookie cool completely.

Add the marshmallow fluff and cream cheese to a bowl.

Using the whisk attachment, beat until combined, light and fluffy.

Spread mixture onto cooled cookie crust.

I didn't leave an edge on this one,

but did for my aunt's and I like both equally.

Place the fresh fruit all over your fruit pizza to your liking.

Cut yourself a nice big piece...

And then dig in!!!
