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.
Truthfully I’ve always been intimidated at the thought of making homemade donuts but these are actually pretty easy and delicious too! 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.
Who knew it could be so simple and so fun to make your own donuts? It’s time to start baking, to eat, and enjoy!

What a cute idea! Last year I used little gingerbread men candy decorations, and they were a big hit. These are even nicer, I’d love to try this!
Homemade donuts are more gratifying than store bought, in my opinion.

They’re baked, so that means they’re healthy, right?! :)
Those candy cane sprinkles are adorable by the way.
Looking for something healthier here.
What a fun treat! These look amazingly good :)
I too have been intimidated at the thought of making my own doughnuts. I guess because my grandmother always made deep-fried ones and I knew that was above and beyond my expertise. She tried to teach me, but it was no use. So I am thrilled to find your recipe and see the great results! I cannot wait to try these! Thanks and Merry Christmas!
These doughnuts look delicious. I have been wanting a doughnut pan. I need to really get one and try out this recipe.
This is a great recipe! I had no idea Wilton made such cute candy decorations, candy canes are adorable :)
oh my goodness this is too cute! can’t wait to bake this with my family. i’m sure they would love it for breakfast on Christmas morning!
Wow those sounds great.
These would be perfect for our Christmas brunch this year!
I like the idea of something different from cookies on the dessert tray for the holidays.
Ok!!!!! Definitely making these ASAP! I just bought a donut pan so this is PERFECT!
Oh my goodness! I need to get a donut pan! These are too cute!

The kids would love these! Thanks for the recipe.
These look great. I never would have thought it was so easy to make donuts at home. Thanks for the recipe.
These sound yummy – I just bought a donut pan. I know what’s for breakfast Saturday morning in my house!
Those are so cute and sound good! I’ve never made homemade doughnuts before, might have to give those a try.
I have never baked donuts before only fried them and it was a mess. I used to make them but it didnt seem worth the hassle. I love these pans!
I tried making donuts once. It was an epic fail. I think with this pan it would be much better. I also like the sound of the recipe. Wishing I had one (or three) right now.
I have never tried to make donuts but there are really festive for sure!
These are so so so cute for the Holiday. I have to make these this year thanks for sharing this one and have a great day.
These would be perfect and beautiful served as a Christmas breakfast treat.
But I can also see my children wanting to leave them for Santa instead of cookies.

These look so yummy and easy to make! I am going to have to invest in a donut pan:)
Those look so yummy. I’ve never even considered peppermint flavor in doughnuts, but I bet it’s delicious. Perfect for the holidays.
Now this is a treat I can make for a crowd at our house during the holidays. I love donuts, but baked makes them even better. I have saved to my pinterest and will have to try them out 1st of course before the guests start piling in. Thanks again for fabulous receipe.
Those look delicious and sound easy enough to make. I’ve always wanted to try baking my own donuts. I’ll have to do that sometime soon. Thanks for sharing these.
Oh my gosh, these look absolutely delicious! I hadn’t seen the donut pan before!
these sound really good, and i like that they are cake doughnuts. its kind of a daunting project for me tho as i am not much of a baker. my sister, however, is and i will share this with her!

These looks so fun and festive. I have never tried my hand at cake doughnuts, but I want to try.
I looooove this!! I like that they have special pans and are baked rather than deep fried
These are healthy enough to make for breakfast on a holiday morning ! Nobody will know they aren’t deep fried. I need a couple of these Wilton non-stick donut pans asap! before Santa can bring them for Christimas!!!
This look so good! My grandsons would love the decoration candy canes on top!
