DOUGHNUTS.  If you work in an office you are probably faced with sweet maple bars and chocolate sprinkled delights constantly.  There is something about that pink doughnut box that makes you think the happiest of thoughts.  But I always shove that sweet puff of air in mouth and its gone before i know it.  Then I am left with the self reassuring thoughts that they can’t be that bad for me… right?  Ugh, its exhausting!  But- when you take the time to make a doughnut like this, you don’t need to think twice.  First of all they are baked.  Second of all they are coated with wonderful pecan bits, which take you take longer to eat them and also add some substance.  My sister’s boyfriend came home to these and I believe his words were “omggomgomggoggmaahhahhahahhhhhwahahhahomgomg”  ….yeah he liked them.

First make your dough!

Glaze, pecans, and doughnuts.

oh yeah.

I might make these often…

very often!!
