Obsession. Fixation. Desire.

All appropriate words to describe the reaction to the chocolate strawberry donuts (also know as duffins or monuts). Therefore, I decided to create a new muffin donut.

Today’s offering is adapted from ‘Healthy with Heather’ as part of the Secret Recipe Club. Check out Heather’s version called ‘Lemon Blackberry Donuts’ as the original is gluten free!

Go ahead and obsesses but no rabbit stew please.

Citrus & Blueberry Baked Muffin Donuts (yield: 12)
Ingredients:
1 cup unbleached white whole wheat flour
1 cup unbleached all purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 teaspoon baking powder
1/4 salt
2 eggs
3/4 cup brown sugar
1/4 cup canola oil
1/2 cup applesauce, no sugar added
2 tablespoon lemon juice
2 tablespoon orange juice
3/4 cup fresh blueberries
baking spray
wilton donut pan

Directions:
In a medium bowl, whisk together flours, baking soda, baking powder, and salt; set aside.

3. In a separate bowl, beat the eggs and then add the sugar, oil, applesauce, eggs, lemon juice and orange juice until combined.

4. Add dry ingredients to wet and fold to combine. Fold in blueberries.

5. Spray each mold with baking spray and then fill each donut mold 1/2 full with batter and bake for 9-12 minutes.

These look delicious! I’ve been looking for one of those baked donut mold pans and can’t find them anywhere. I may have to break down and buy one online…especially with mouth-watering recipes like this one!

I’ve been on a baked donut kick lately. Adding these to the list, can’t wait to make them!

I’ve known about those baked donut pans for a few years now. And I keep resisting the purchase. But dangit, these babies are making me doubt myself. Gorgeous pictures, totally scrumptious looking!

These are so pretty. I wish I had a donut mold!

These look fabulous!

I am trying to resist the urge to buy one of these doughnut pans, but I keep seeing delicious looking doughnuts that are calling to me! I may have to break down and get one and restrict my self to one batch of doughnuts a month…great job!

Baked doughnuts are my favorite. This one looks so delicious & enticing I have to try it ASAP. The combination of flavours is amazing.

Jeanette September 20, 2011 at 7:44 am

Love your variation on these donuts. I recently picked up one of the mini-donut pans and made GF Spiced Pumpkin Donuts and they came out great!

Dan September 20, 2011 at 9:49 am

Donut Muffins!

We have a pan as well and I think we’ve only used it once. Yours look great. We should pull our pan out again.

Wow – baked blueberry muffin donuts – amazing! I’ve never seen anything like these; I’m excited to try them out. They look a lot healthier than normal donuts!
