The Breakdown
01. Soft, Fluffy Donut
The base of these donuts is light and moist, with a hint of vanilla and cinnamon. They’re so flavorful and pair well with a cup of hot coffee in the morning!
02. Nutty Crumble Topping
Our favorite part about these donuts is that cinnamon pecan topping. The simple combination of flour, sugar, pecans, cinnamon, and butter adds a delightful crunch and perfectly complements the soft donut.
03. Maple Glaze
The finishing touch on these beauties is a delicious maple glaze. It’s made with only 3 ingredients: powdered sugar, maple syrup, and milk.
