Candy Cane Baked Donuts Recipe

The holidays are around the corner and it’s one of my favorite times of the year. While I miss the warm weather and blue skies of summer, I always look forward to making delicious festive recipes for everyone to enjoy. That’s why I’m excited to share this fantastic and fun recipe for Candy Cane Baked Donuts.

You just used a donut baking pan, it’s a must have for homemade donuts. After they bake top them with few holiday sprinkles for a fantastic, festive, holiday surprise.
