Happy Thanksgiving to everyone! Since I do not have to cook the turkey dinner it’s time to use my babycakes machine again. It’s so easy and fun. I wanted to try another one of Aimee’s recipes at healthyfoodforliving.com/recipes/. The Apple Cider Donuts sounded so yummy. Of course I replaced 1/4 cup of sugar for 1/4 cup of my dad’s maple syrup (forgot to put in picture, oops). Apple and maple syrup, what could be better?

Mmmm…can you smell them? I used a different glaze then Aimee. I made a Maple Glaze to enhance the maple flavor I put in the mini donuts.

Ingredients
- 1 3/4 cups sifted powdered sugar
- 2 – 4 tbsp pure maple syrup
Cooking Directions
- Blend together sugar and syrup. Add more maple syrup to make a glaze consistency.

I added sprinkles to some of them for the kids. The donuts were delish! I didn’t hear any complaints.
