    Did you try my recipe for Sugar Free White Chocolate Chip Cake Mix Muffins.?

    Those cake mix muffins are amazingly delicious thanks to the cake mix that is used. Both this recipe for donuts and that recipe for muffins are nice ideas for sugar free baking using cake mix.

    Frequently asked questions about donuts.

    Can I bake donuts instead of frying them?

    Yes! You can bake donuts in an oven instead of frying them in oil.
    Some will argue that baked donuts are the healthier way to do it as well.

    What you should know is that when you bake the donuts in an oven you will need a special pan to bake them in. Donut pans are like muffin pans only they are shaped like donuts.

    How is a cake mix donut different from a regular donut?

    From a baking point of view, using a cake mix can make a recipe a lot easier to make. This is because all (or most) of the dry ingredients have already been measured out for you which means, you can simply mix in the wet ingredients.

    However, using the cake mix to make the donuts will not include the ingredients that would normally be added to make the cake itself. This is because we are making donuts and not cakes.

    When it comes to the outcome of the finished cake mix donut, you will find that they are still tasty and even, a bit fluffier thanks to the leavening agent used in the cake mix.

    Tips for making oven baked donuts.

    My donuts are made using a yellow cake mix. Feel free to use any cake mix flavor of your choice.

    More helpful tips for you.

    1. This recipe is for sugar free donuts. To make these donuts low in carbohydrates, you can use a keto cake mix, making adjustments as needed.
    2. Resist the urge to over-mix the batter. It is best to mix the batter until just combined as lumps will usually bake out.
    3. I suggest that you prepare your donut pan well for this recipe. I like to use both nonstick spray plus a dusting of flour for example.
    4. Making the batter in a mixing bowl with a spout can make things easier when transferring the batter to the baking pan. Another option is to use a zip top bag with a cut corner.
    5. Allow the donuts to cool on a wire rack after removing them from the baking pan. You can run a butter knife around the edges of the donuts to help separate them from the pan.

    How to store cake mix donuts.

    These donuts should be stored in an airtight container with parchment paper separating any layers. If properly stored, and refrigerated, they should keep for up to a few days. You can also freeze these donuts without the topping and top after defrosting them instead.
