    The glaze is delicious! I used orange extract instead of almond, and it was amazing.

  • Evert Stoltenberg

    I made these for a brunch party, and they were a huge hit! Everyone raved about them.

  • Leonard Murphy

    My donuts stuck to the pan a little, so I would recommend greasing the pan very well. Otherwise, the recipe was perfect!

  • Ethelyn Wehner

    I've tried several baked donut recipes, and this is by far the best. They came out perfectly fluffy and moist.

  • Adolph Ratke

    These were so easy to make, and my kids loved them! I added a little lemon zest to the batter for extra flavor.

  • Carley Rutherford

    These are a great alternative to fried donuts. They're much healthier and just as satisfying.
