Baked Coconut-Oat Donuts

Recipe collaboration with @wonderandcharm

Have you ever had a baked donut? It's like a real donut but with a cake-like texture. Since they're baked rather than deep fried, it's much healthier, lower in calories/fat and has a heartier bite to it. Ultimately, a delicious healthy dessert alternative if you're a donut lover! If you don't have a donut pan, we hiiiiighly suggest you buy one ASAP. They're available at Target, Walmart or Amazon for about $10 bucks only.

These donuts are perfect for breakfast, brunch, dessert or to take along to any get together. Hope you enjoy this recipe as much as we do! x
